You may well need the ability to shoot strong hand only or weak hand only in real life. You'll for certain need those skills if you shoot IDPA or IPSC/USPSA matches.

I shot in a USPSA special classifier match last weekend. There were 5 stages. Firing with strong hand only and weak hand only was required in 3 of the stages.

I didn't do as well as I should've -- I hit a "no shoot" target shooting weak hand only and missed two headshots, one strong hand only and one weak hand only, but other than that things went okay.

I practice shooting one hand only all the time, so I should've done better.
