I've been told that switching pistol grips to a 2 handed weak side grip when clearing an appropriate corner is still taught in police academy as a standard practice.
Is this true? As a civilian, I've so far only seen the weak hand pistol mentioned as a last resort when the strong hand/arm has been injured. Therefore, 1 handed. Perhaps it's because civilians aren't typically taught solo room clearing. I've also not seen any police footage where an officer had time to switch hands purposefully with a pistol.
Has anyone taken a class or received training that provided the current general consensus?
My uneducated inclination is that keeping the dominant 2 handed grip is preferable to avoid dropping the pistol, and carefully slicing the pie for corners paying attention to body position seems like enough.
I suppose one could argue that if it makes sense for a rifle, it makes sense for a pistol...
