Even though being completely one-handed may not be likely, why not be prepared?

The Complications

First of all, lets talk about shooting.

What eye will you use?

One-handed shooting

We recommend you do dry fire practice over and over and over again to get stronger at this.

Luckily for you, we teach this in our video at the top of the page.

Then you should probably draw it from the holster.

Training to shoot one handed

There are two popular and safe methods to do this.

Then, use your knees to hold it and flip your grip over.

Obviously, these methods could possibly allow something into the trigger guard, which is not safe.

One-handed reload

So, keep that muzzle pointed somewhere safe as best you’re free to.

When it comes to reloads, its actually most of the same that I mentioned above.

Worst Case…

One-handed magazine change

Malfunctions are almost our worst possible case scenario.

So how do youclear a malfunctionand get back in the fight?

The fastest way is to perform this tap, rack and bang malfunction clearance.

Shooting with weak hand

That will clear your bad round and get you back into the fight again.

Now, lets talk about the actual worst day of your life.

That would be if your malfunction were a double feed.

This is no doubt harder to clear because tap rack bang will not fix this malfunction.

After the mag drops, you will have to erase the bad round thats stuck in the chamber.

Now we go back and rack the slide to wipe the bad round.

That is a lot to do with one hand, but it can be done.

And if youre in a firefight, you better find good quality cover first.

Because your practice could determine whether or not you walk away from the worst day of your life.
