Ingloriously I recently broke my right wrist and need to wear a cast 8 weeks! Went down to the range; cast kept me from an effective 2 hand hold: bullets kept hitting 15 inches right of target at 50 feet.... much worst than I expected, and with just a Ruger SR22 ! Also found loading magazines a real chore. I expect this is typical; however my training and qualifications barely touched on this issue. Also had to order a left-hand holster since my right IWB is inaccessible . Unexpected: most of my dominate hand training and practice were worthless using my other hand alone!!
-Anyone else care to speculate on just how much practice I'll need to be left-proficient?
-Also most magazines are 2-handed affairs to load so very difficult if not impossible for a one-handed shooter!
-I used my free fingers to sling-shot the slide, slide release more difficult with left only; likely impossible just one-handed.
-Anyone know of a training course good for this issue?
-Any other issues I didn't cover?
I suggest every dedicated defensive shooter spend plenty of time non-dominate hand/ single hand shooting, loading, clearing stoppages, etc.
Thanks
