[LEOSA] Weak hand - two handed shooting. Why?

Well good for them. If it's a sanctioned event then sure. It just sounded like he could go shoot with them willy nilly.

My bad. Yes, they are scheduled events by FBI Baltimore - retired FBI agent shoot and barbecue at the FBI range.

So, after 30+ years military/law enforcement, I am now on my fifth federal agency (USCP), and they have a “weak hand supported” string of fire. I had not seen that technique before either. After my initial reaction thinking “this is just weird,” I began to try to figure out why and how it could be applied. This is what I came up with:

If you come out from behind the barricade, weapon in your weak hand, if you use the same eye as the hand that the gun is in, you will expose a little less of your face, than if you used your other eye. So for me, left side, left hand, left eye.

Now, I wouldn’t recommend using this as your go-to technique if you found yourself in a gunfight and had to fight from your weak side around cover just yet. This would take a significant amount of repetitive training to get down pat. Especially for those who have only done it one way. But I do recommend trying it in training. While it is just a few inches, maybe that’s all you need to survive. At the end of the day, you’re going to revert to what you know and practice.

At least we'll be prepared in case we ever have to shoot playing cards in half.
