Two-gun shooting; Anyone tried it?

I've found it works best when sliding on your back down a bannister or on your front across a slippery floor.

For extra accuracy be sure to be chewing on a toothpick or a cigar stub.


To be considered a master of the skill you must be able to dodge incoming rounds by turning a somersalt in the air, landing with a shoulder roll and then hitting multiple targets. A flowing cloak or cape will improve your aim.
 
Used my USPc .40 and my brother's matching gun. Absolutly fun! The only concern was how the weak hand gun tended to drift back while the strong side got pushed forward. I could see this getting dangerous if I didn't pay attention.

Using two single action rugers in .22 on a 18" steel plate at 30' I found it pretty easy to hit 90% of the time. It's just not real fast.

.22 semi-auto pistols would seem to be the way to do this cheaply and have lots of fun. I'll have to dig up another and give it a try.

I've thought about this since getting my second gun, but I would be quite unbalanced, one of my guns being a Makarov (9x18) and the other a CZ-52 (7.62x25). Maybe if I shot the Mak from the weak hand it would balance things out a little.....
A Makarov in one hand and a CZ in the other.....Matrix, Eastern Bloc style! :D
 
I had to make a music video for class so I used the chorus for "Nice shot man" by filter and looped it. Then I did all the camera tricks and funs stuff I could think of doing. One of those fun things was taking my M40 in one hand and my Sig p239 in the other and emptied the mags. I then took some close up shot of a target being slow fired upon, sped up the shots and inserted them as cuts so it looked like I was real accurate with my to gun shooting.

It was funny how many people thought I could actually shot like that. :D

In reality if my target would have been a 4'x4' sheet of plywood at 20' I would have hit it most of the time.
 
I've tried with a pair of .45's, and a .45 and a 9mm. It was fun, but not pretty. I guess it's OK for supressive fire, but I wouldn't bet on its efficacy. I need a whole lot moe practice:D
 
I used to play 'Area 51' all John Woo style. Got pretty good at it too.

Remember, just because you can do it in the arcade to devestating effect doesn't mean you can do it in real life with any hope of hitting a thing.

I just took it as more evidence that Grossman is full of it...
 
If some is good, more is better!

Yup, I tried it with a couple of Star Model S .380s. Like everyone else already said, fun but inaccurate. I also had to try gangsta-style, which was also highly overrated.

Go ahead and try it. Life's too short to worry about what other people think about when they see you having fun.

Exactly. After I got done trying it, the guy 3 lanes down from me said, "Looks like someone's been watching too many movies!". But so what? Now I've done that, and I can honestly tell someone else what it's like.
 
I've done it with a matched set of CZ52's. Horribly inaccurate but it does look really kewl.
 
In response to comments:

gangsta style: I was taught when shooting one handed to cant the gun so the sight plane is tilted towards your centerline, works for me.

left hand gun: When not shooting I normally have gun tucked in retention position but here it's tilted down as to not sweep my other paw.

the shirt: yuppieflage ;)
 
The only way that I can do it and hit much of anything regularly is to alternate between strong and weak hand, closing the eye on the non-firing side as required.

Wouldn't win any speed contests, but after some practice I can at least keep all of them on a silhouette's torso out to 15 yds or so.

BTW, this is a gas when you use a pair of Colt 1860 replicas and an 8" steel plate. Talk about a challenge! Just finding the target through the smoke is tough.
 
Tried it quite a few times.

Tried it with two .22s (Ruger MkII and Beretta Neo)
Tried it with two 9x18mm (identical Makarovs)
Tried it with two 9x19mm (BHP and CZ-75)
Tried it with two .45 (Springfield and Kimber)

That's me with two Maks:

The bigger the caliber the harder it is to control TWO pistols at the same time while using only one hand on each. .45s get out of control quickly, and there's not much you can hit when using two of them. Makarovs and full-size 9mm are more fun, IF you shoot one at a time not-so-fast. Still slower and less accurate then using one gun with two hands. .22s are the best - you can control the guns and practice fast instictive shooting without relying on sights. With some practice you can get good hits with two .22s - rapid fire.

Word of caution - don't try using Gangsta grip when shooting two semi-autos. The slides with hit each other during recoil. Yes, I know, we learn from mistakes ;)
 
i tried 2 gun shooting for the first time last night. and as everyone said, it's a hoot! i had a glock 19 in my left and a beretta 92 in my right. at first i was alternating shots between my left and right hand but after a couple of shots, i started firing both simultaneously rapidly. i dunno when i started giggling but was LOL by the time the magazines were empty in a few seconds!

btw, the approx 2'x3' target was 20 feet away and the "grouping" was all over that target :)

edit: plus after watching underworld, kate beckinsale looks so good firing double guns that i had to give it a try!
 
I learned to shoot using two .480 Rugers (with 2'' barrels), firing simultaneously. I find it's really not difficult at all. I don't use sights of course, I'm usually looking at the crowds of beautiful women who have thronged about to gape at my magnificence. Naturally, all of my bullets print in the center of each target, as I am an exceptionally good shot, not to toot my own horn, you understand. Oh! Have to go, my girlfriends are begging for a little attention.
 
hummmm.....

I've only got one pistol so i've never tried the 2 gun thing. but The thing is i'm Ambidextrous so I can shoot almost as well with either hand. Something to think about, I always thought it was sorta silly and I like putting lead center mass. But if I could do it with 2 guns..... Anyone selling anything in Louisiana?

I dit it in the Army with two Sig 220's. Very fun but ruins the accuracy. Seems rather dangerous too...
 
Last man standing, great redo of Clints' "For a few dollars more".

I especially liked it when Bruce puts on his double shoulder holster rig on.

And the grips are pointing backwards!!!

I hate that when I go up against gangsters with TSMG's.

Besides the inaccuracy effect, how many of you have Lara crofts's backpack mag carrier for those rapid reloads. Or do you just shove a heater down your pants then alternate?

Antonio Banderas had the best Idee, take Selma with you and make her reload!!

I know, it's all in fun, but there you go.

I did it once.

We were at a bowling pin match, and we had a low turnout, so we set up 2 sets of pins in the standard bowling configuration.

I took 2 smith 686p's loaded with hot 357's, one in each hand. and started blasting away.:what:

I missed completely:neener: :neener:

I then stopped, aimed more carefully with each hand and.......WOW...
they went FLYING... it was great!:evil: :evil:
 
i've tried that many a times.

once with matched p220st's, another time with matched gp100's(.38 loadings), and one final time with two glocks a 22 and a 21. the p220st's were hard to control, the gp100s were surprisingly accurate, and the glocks were bad(one gun kept lifting from muzzle rise, while the other stayed on target). 3 things i learned:

1. matched guns are easier to simultaneously shoot.
2. it seems very easy to blow off one of your own hands.
3. go left, right, left, right, i.e. alternate your shots.
