pistol (one hand) -handed shooting with the handgun is sometimes called the dynamic shooting sport. A real and not to be underestimated importance this issue but only in the fire fight. Especially if the weapon must be reloaded with one hand or has a fault. shooting training can sometimes be very unrealistic. For example, if the use of weapons carrier generally assumes that all enemies will stretch just by his appearance in the weapons that all armed confrontation in daylight or at least be done in the light or that he himself at any moment have two hands available to its short weapon to use. The statistics say, however, quite different. A variety of confrontations occurred in the dark. Depending on the region and range of applications where this number up to 80% be. Similarly, the minimum guarantee for good visibility is a guarantee on the integrity of the hands or arms.
In the case of a fire fight, are very likely including hits to the hands and arms to be expected, since these are mostly centrally in a prominent position in front of the body. Are knives involved, are cuts to be almost inevitable. Other violations that may occur in use, such as bruises or burns to mention. In any case, it can be a fatal mistake to assume that one has always and at all times two functioning hands on weapons manipulation. Before this background, it is useful routines for one-handed use of handguns to know and practiced this in training a few times to have. Three situations may arise here is that the right hand is injured before the gun was ever drawn from the holster, the pistol is fired or she has a disorder of the types 1 to 4
drawing the weapon with the left Pulling the weapon with the left can be difficult to represent each model holster. In particular, users of holsters with mechanical fuses should look very closely in training on how or whether to operate at all securing of the holster after a total failure of the right hand with left.
Be used thigh holster, the shooter can take the first left hand leg strap to the holster a little pull to the front. The drawing process is simplified significantly.
you drag with the left, in most cases no proper grip technique are made. The shooter has to fit around an additional movement, carried out. It is good practice to press the gun to be between the knees and shifting hand.
Is the holster to the belt on 5-Clock-Position, it is better in some circumstances, result in the left hand behind the body to the holster. Anatomy and flexibility of your body set the limits here.
be handed reloading Even when handed reloading, the weapon during the reloading process necessarily between parked somewhere. Here, too, should be to press the gun between his knees. The magazine well facing forward, the run down. The new magazine can now be applied to problems with his left hand. The load-through motion carried by the sight of the weapon against a clothing or equipment (belt, shoe soles and magazine pouch) key, which provides a correspondingly high abutment. With a vigorous, jerky movement pushes the hand of the grip forward.
This technique works with both right and with left. In training, they should preferably be practiced.
disorder type 1 case of breakdown of Type 1 will sound the loudest noise there is, if one actually a "Boom" expects, namely, a "click" . No external interference is evident. By a blow to the magazine and by loading the weapon ("tap-rack") of this type of fault is to remove quickly. In the one-handed operation means that the shooter strikes the weapon with the magazine floor on his knees, to ensure the Magazine is in place. He then invited by his gun belt or some other substantial abutment. This process works for both right-and left-handed and is analogous to recharging.
disorder type 2 is eliminated in the same way.
disorder type 3 interference of type 3 can be seen from the outside. The slide of the gun not locked, because two cartridges are the same in the system. Usually the causes are either a broken extractor claw, worn magazine lips or incorrect removal of the fault types 1 and 2 In Guns, this type of fault rather rare. A characteristic feature of the disorder
type 3, is that the slide put pressure on the top cartridge in the magazine, but this can not be fed because the chamber is still occupied. The magazine can be removed so only with increased effort from the gun. The fact that when operating the magazine release button automatically by gravity from the gun slips, is excluded. Since only one hand is available, a suitable tool to be found. It would be possible to hook the bottom of the magazine on the belt and pull the magazine from the weapon. This technique works only if between the magazine and Under the gun sufficient space is available. In most of the guns will not be the case.
equipment modifications One-handed weapons manipulation may entail modifications to the equipment.
Some shooters are starting to reduce the frame height of their Glock pistols with sand. This creates a gap between the frame and bottom of the magazine. The magazine makes it far easier to hook on your belt and pull out. Others use again such as a Glock 19 Glock 17 Magazine permanently extended. Here, too, enough distance between the frame and bottom of the magazine is available. Another way that no structural Modification to the weapon requires the use of a forward projecting Magazine floor.
set the rear sight of the gun as a support used for carrying load, it must be shaped accordingly, and above all be stable enough. A delicate micrometer sight will survive the rough procedure is not often. In addition, you should always use as a weapon carrier also wear a sturdy, robust belt that can serve not only the holster for the gun and spare ammunition and possibly holding a portable radio, but also as corresponding to the abutment-handed repetition of the gun.
Conclusion One-handed operation of the automatic pistol just like one-handed shooting should be part of the training program for use weapons carrier. Some have rehearsed routines, may be in an emergency is crucial. Special attention should be paid to the vulnerability of the equipment. Holster with Verrieglungssystemen can contribute to unexpected impediments, if never exercised, to use the release only with the support hand. The course is
