Quick ? …Do people shoot one handed as a natural fear of hiding or evading when they are shooting back at you. I seen multiple videos and this is my assumption but i wait for a response.Thank you
I think it’s more a natural fear reaction to push the gun as far away from you as possible.

Thank you
Interesting. I know we've had a few vids where you've pointed out the look on someone's face is {paraphrasing} abject terror, but it never occurred to me this might be a natural, untrained, unexposed person's reaction to firearms in general.
Man, add "gun handling familiarity" to my already healthy stack of privileges in this life...

Definetely i must say that if you are teained and practice often, the chance of this theory of mine may be obsolete .🤣….

I think a lot of folks shoot one-handed because they have been "trained" by movies and TV shows, especially cowboy and cop shows. where the good guys are amazingly accurate, especially the cowboys at full gallop, with a six shooter in one hand, reins in the other, flinging the bullets out of the gun with each shot.

"flinging" -- excellent word choice. Apparently, in the Old West, the bullet comes out faster (with no loss of accuracy) if you flip the barrel up and then flick it back down whilst pulling the trigger.

Now that the above comments are in, a reminder that we should all practice one hand shooting regularly, both dominant and support hands, to be ready in case the situation has us limited, such as an injured hand, or protecting a child from the attack. Every advanced class I have taken (USCCA, NRA, Rangemaster, other) and IDPA style competitions have included one hand shooting.
