It\u2019s certainly easier to train and practice with two hands, but is it best to perfect two-handed techniques before transitioning to single-handed shooting and handling techniques?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the casual shooter\u2019s viewpoint, shooting with one hand\nmay be a nice skill to attain but not totally essential. After all, we have two\nhands &#8230; so why not use them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The competitive shooter may find shooting with one hand a\nrequirement to compete within the rules of the game. The rules of an event may\ndictate the engagement of targets with either the strong or support hand only.\nOften, proficiency in shooting and handling a gun with a single hand makes the\ndifference between winning and falling by the wayside from lack of speed,\naccuracy or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>No Time for Games<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Those who carry for personal defense have a greater\ninvestment in becoming proficient at using their sidearms with one hand. There\nare no hard-and-fast rules that come into play during a justified gunfight.\nStatistically speaking, someone engaged in a dynamic self-defense confrontation\nis more likely to experience the need to deliver ordnance with one hand. For\nthis reason alone, a firearms instructor may want to integrate single-handed\nshooting and handling techniques into the training schedule sooner rather than\nlater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When teaching a student to operate a handgun with one hand,\nit is especially important to evaluate the size and chambering of the gun\ncompared to the size of the shooter\u2019s hand. Deficiencies masked by the use of\ntwo hands become apparent when only one hand is available to operate the gun,\nand recoil alone may be a serious factor when multiple shots are in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Measuring Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Grip circumference and trigger reach are of primary consideration, although operation of other control features of the gun can\u2019t be ignored. This applies to both hands since there are no guarantees that one or the other will be available at any given time. Keep in mind that dexterity, strength, range of motion and even size may differ from one hand to the other. Often there has to be a compromise to find the best option in the majority of situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, we can seat the gun in the web of the hand so that\nthe barrel of the gun is parallel to the index finger in its natural extension\nalong the side of the frame. This positions the muzzle to point at a target the\nsame as if we were to point the index finger at the same target utilizing our\nnatural eye\/hand coordination. The thumb and middle finger should contact one\nanother, fully encircling the grip to control vertical and lateral recoil\nduring discharge. This also helps to prevent recoil from changing the position\nof the gun in the hand when firing multiple rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Keep It Smooth<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the gun positioned in this manner, the trigger finger\nmust be able to reach the trigger with full contact across the face of the\ntrigger. This will help to move the trigger in a smooth, fluid manner, parallel\nto the gun from take-up to shot release, without lateral pressure pushing or\npulling the muzzle off-target during the trigger stroke. Trigger manipulation\ntrumps everything else; the muzzle must stay on the target until the bullet\nexits the barrel in order to achieve a hit. When the act of pulling the trigger\ncauses the muzzle to deviate from pointing at what we intend to hit,\nsatisfaction will not be realized. Have the students practice the \u201cWall Drill\u201d\nwith one hand to master proper trigger control and assess the need for\nimprovement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practice Adaptation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Other operating features, such as the magazine release,\nslide stop and safety\/decocking lever (if so equipped), should be considered as\nwell. This is where handguns equipped with ambidextrous controls benefit\nsingle-handed shooting with either hand. In some cases, a student may have to\nadapt to using his or her index finger instead of his or her thumb to work the\ncontrols when he or she is running the pistol with his or her non-dominant\nhand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>One for All, All for One<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As instructors, we should strive for all of our students to be able to operate all of the controls on their personal sidearms with either hand and without a shift of their grips. Realizing that this isn\u2019t always possible, we have to be adaptable with techniques, ideas and sometimes equipment changes. One-handed shooting is an essential skill, and we must do all we can to help our students master it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Discover how you can join nearly 300,000 responsibly armed Americans who already
