Double wield handgun action? Effective?

[bug_eyedmonster]

I tried this once with two S&W model 29 with six inch barrels. It was funny, yes, but a waste of ammo and as far from accurate as can be.

You guys just don't use the right equipment. Me, twin Raven 25 Autos in cross draw holsters. No recoil.

LOL.

This is how I see it from a musicians standpoint.

When you are learning to play, can you play the piano with one hand easier than with two? Absolutely.
What makes the difference between that first year of playing where you become proficient with two hands and a concert pianist? 20,000 + hours of practice with two hands.

Is it easier to shoot with 1 hand than two? Absolutely
After 200'000 rounds of ammo with two hands could you become very good, Accurate and efficient? Absolutely.

this.

also yes, it is probably very impractical for any general situation outside of a movie or video game, but man is it fun

I find that I can effectively waste twice as much ammunition while hitting my target with fewer bullets when I try two-pistol shootin'.

I do it now and then when BLM shooting, but only because it's fun, not because of any delusions that it might actually be an effective tactic.

You should definitely try it. (far, far away from anyone you care about, & more importantly, at a minimum distance of 100 miles from me)

You should DEFINITELY have someone get video and post it up. (Or give them instructions to post it should something unfortunate occur)

You should also make sure whoever's shooting the video has good cell reception, and maybe have them pre-dial 9-1- (Y'know, just in case)

Glad to see you haven't lost your inquiring mind and the knack for posting perfectly valid and ummm... thought provoking questions.

C'mon man seriously, theses days you can have 911 on your phone and your finger on the send button
Yeah it really does not seem like an effective way to shoot at all unles you practice it for years with a round count too high to fathom.

I know it was another stupid question from SCE, but I was thinking. . .

Has anyone tried duel wielding handguns with lasers?

[dre147]

Prerequisite to dual wield.

LOL

[bizarrocolin]

I dual wield light sabers in my SW video games. It's very effective...

[CK_32]

Me and my cousin tried it last weekend at a match as one if the stages,



It's not easy... I think I scored 17 target hits of 20, my cousin scored a total of 6 hits of 20 lol

[afteractionreport]

I asked my gf if she thouhgth it would b cool.?..she said dnt do it when im around bcause i will walk away from ur dumbass

[CK_32]

Anyone else look at every movie picture posted in here, and realize everyone of them has that "look" going on lol

Doesn't getting a CCW permit force you to learn how to shoot with both hands? Or did someone give me bad info?

What does CCW have to do with it? You pretty much ALWAYS want to practice single hand, weak hand, racking with one hand, etc... because you never know what can happen. That's not with a dual wield "I'm a rockstar rage fest" in mind though. I don't practice sideways "thug shot" either.

I can't shoot my 1911 well with my weak hand, it torques too much for a good follow up, but that's with 6" targets. With a silhouette, I can still put it on a body, just not accurately and repeatably.

To the original question, I don't see the point.

Depends on your instructor and his course play. If I remember right my last renewal required firing 3 shots off handed at 5 yards .. or 5 rounds at 3 yards .. something simple like that. But shooting weak handed is something everyone should do once in awhile at the range. I do it a little at many range trips and still really suck at it at more than 5 yards .. but I still try.

Ive done it with a couple 38 revolvers, it goes without saying it is pretty much worthless to do...
