I take the opposite position. Shooting one-handed is a fundamental skill. Master it, and you can do something else with your other hand...like opening doors, holding kids, etc.
This isn't the opposite position. There are very good "practical" stances for shooting one-handed, either strong or weak side. They allow movement, unusual lower body postitioning, crouching, etc., and promote quicker follow-up shots.
They don't look anything like the old bullseye stance.
Heck, the old timers taught me that if a handgun was meant to be shot with two hands it would have two handles on it.
Sometimes it amazes me that we ever learned to learn to walk upright, considering all the "wisdom" the old-timers liked to pass along.
I think it's the speed of followup shots that's the biggest strike against Bullseye. But I do wonder whether that's *really* so critical to a shootout. For many decades now the instruction has emphasized speed and firepower over accuracy and the first shot. ... I think they're just doing what they've been trained to do--getting into a modern stance and rocking and rolling one mag right after the other.
That's a gross misstatement of practical instruction. The truth is that, regardless of the best accuracy you can wring out of a handgun (hey...shouldn't we all just drop to the Creedmoor position?), people in gunfights instinctively react and move certain ways. They DON'T stand erect and tuck their off-side hand behind them, regardless of what they might have done on the range. So teaching them that that's the "right" way to shoot is silly.
Further, that "6 shots on a playing card stapled to the moon" accuracy falls apart pretty quickly if your opponant landed a "somewhere in the center of mass" shot ... or three ... while you were squinting at your sight picture. Absolute accuracy really is
irrelevant to gunfighting. Accurate hits count, but only if they get there FIRST.
If your opponant "sprays" six rounds in 1.2 sec, and the first five MISS completely ... but the sixth doesn't, he just triumphed over your methodical bullseye stance with a beautifully placed shot you MIGHT have gotten off around the 2.0 sec. mark.
