Agreed.
i have found it to be rewarding to see how much more accurate i get each time.
I wont lie, frustrating at first.
I started with a lower caliber .22 for initial training and worked my way up to my CC pistol after getting more skillful at keeping the rounds in a tight group.
I'm surprised that the naysayers didn't come out of the woodwork to say how this "NEVER HAPPENS" and is a drill as useless as Tactical and Emergency Reloads which also "Never happen" to civilians...
Except there was a store clerk in the news this week for shooting an armed robber in his store (Texas?) ... and he shot the robber at about 5 feet IN THE HAND holding the gun.
I've also seen repeatedly in Force-on-Force with Simunitions that the surprised Good Guy shoots the attacker IN THE HAND holding the gun pointed at him.
Victims tend to look at the threat and I know when I was held up at gunpoint many years ago, I looked right down that .38 barrel. And of course shots are aimed at the threat seen (the gun) and the hand holding it ~~ especially by those with little or no training.
So it is very likely a shootout could cause shooting hand injuries and thus Support Hand Only return fire.

I’ve done Simunitions training.
Your hands get the CRAP shot out of them…and it HURTS.
I practice one handed shooting all the time; usually in the “speed rock” hip presentation.
I can usually bust a clay/hit a beer can at 10 feet doing it.

I tore my right rotator cuff while I was in the hospital about a year ago. According to the orthopedist it is completely severed. Nobody has any idea how it happened. It wasn't torn when I went into the hospital it was when I came out.
Be all that as it may, guess who has one usable thumb (actually both thumbs work I just can't lift my Right arm) and has had to learn one handed shooting drills for the last year.
It could happen and not even in ways that you would expect
