Ambidextrous Gunfighting

When we do our firearm qualification with the Sheriff’s Department we shoot at a target of a bad guy holding the gun and I’m always amazed at how often that gun and/or hand and arm has holes in it. Also, during my force on force classes it’s very common for your gun hand and arm to be hit. Part of this is due to the fact that your gun hand is out in front of you between you and your opponent. Part of it is due to the fact that your eyes are naturally drawn to the threat.

The moral of this story is that you need to be able to shoot with either hand. Most of us rarely practice weak hand shooting but it is a skill you should develop. Like any other skill it will probably take thousands of rounds to really feel comfortable with it and yes, it’s yet another drill you can practice dry fire.

Learn how to shoot well with either hand and double your chances of surviving a gunfight.
