    I've trained with Larry Vickers, Ken Hackathorn, and Dave Harrington to name a few of the big names in the industry and all ove them cover quite a bit of weak hand shooting. Ken even runs a drill where you have to pick your handgun up using your week hand then run get on target, shoot and start moving!

    In addition I alway mix in some weak hand shooting when I practice. And judging from my weak hand shooting I need more practice at it!

    Im with you, I do practice this too. While I was in the Marines, we also trained with our weak hand, and conducted drills with our weak hand such as loading, unloading, reloading and such. I had a friend who got shot in his right arm while we were going trough some villages in Afghanistan, and he was behind an M240 Bravo, he managed to put the machine on his weak arm and continue to manipulate the gun flawlessly. If it wasn't for that extra suppressive fire, who knows what could've happen.

    That looks like the answer right there...

    Thanks for sharing that with us...

    Most of my training I have had uses both...I also make sure I shoot with both...two handed and one handed with both for the fact you could be injuried in a fire fight and as you said no time to get two hands on the weapon...

    Depends on the class and what is trying to be taught. There is a big want from many students to outdrive their head lights. People want to get right into the "super secret squirrel ninja" stuff without a firm grasp of the basics.

    Most of your top tier trainers will cover it. Mainly becuase most of the students that are willing to put a couple grand into a weekend of training are pretty switched on shooters.

    Many local level trainers wont touch one handed TTPs until a "level 2 or 3" class. While each class has a different skill set and ability the instructor should be making sure the students have a firm grasp of the fundementals before moving on to more "advanced" techniques.

    the majority of our Close Quarters shooting class is all one handed shooting. We also may incorperate some in a level 2 depending on skill set. Level 3 has a lot of one handed shooting and manipulations.

    Most courses I've been through teach both strong and weak hand. Even from the holster with a transitition. But don't forgrt reloads, strong/weak/one handed.

    I always teach my students weak hand. In Oklahoma it is NOT part of the Self Defense Act course. In fact the SDA requires that we teach the law, verify that the firearm is in fact servicable and that the student qualifies with the firearm. It does not teach handling a firearm and the instructor may fail the student for any improper actions involving a firearm. In other words......take a course that actually teaches the proper usage and practice, practice, practice.
