What's The Point Behind This Stance?

I'll ask him why he does that tomorrow.

It's as many of you have described.

1. Left hand gouges the eyes of the attacker to get some separation and time to draw.
2. Left hand moves clothing out of the way if necessary to access gun.
3. Left hand is pulled back to cover the head from a right-handed attack, while
4. The gun is drawn and fired.

The guy with the pipe should already have a couple bullets in him. He's about two steps too close.

Emptying a magazine into him doesn't guarantee that he wouldn't still be able to close distance and follow through with the swing.

The shooting position sounds like the 3/4's position as it is called in point shooting. The other hand up guy the head I would bet would be to ward off any strikes to that side of the head. Point shooting is for up close and dirty fighting. You may have to fight to get to your gun. Sounds like its combining armed techniques (point shooting) and unarmed techniques (other hand protecting the head) combined. A good thing to practice by the way. Not enough people practice combining gun and empty hand techniques. If you're that close (which civilians usually are in a gunfight) then you might have to use some strikes or blocks to get to your gun.
