I have been doing some cowboy action shooting recently and have discovered that with a little practice its not super hard. I see there is a lot of room for improvement but I think I have the fundamentals down.
A few months ago I was reading a very old time life history of the old west and saw that there where some people in the old west that where (in)famous for shooting a pair of matching pistols at the same time.
Then a few days ago I get a Concealed carry magazine that talks about carrying 2 of the same pistol for CCW it even talks about shooting them at the same time for practice.
Today I go to the range and what do I see but some police training with there side arms and practicing shooting with there off hand (note this is not the same as shooting 2 guns at the same time).
So this has me thinking. Could training with 2 identical guns (1 in each hand) be viable with enough practice? I can see the + in practicing with the off hand (which I already do occasionally) in case of injury but would practicing with 2 guns at the same time be some thing that could be helpful? No I am not trying to be Hollywood cool or any thing. But if it was popular in the old west and in some kinds of competition could it not be practical? Is it worth looking in to it more? Or is this just another hair-brained idea?
