For this reason, all of my carry guns have ambi controls and can be operated easily with the support hand.
In a given practice session I usually shoot 50% twohanded and 25% strong hand only and 25% weak hand only.
Until recently I had never practiced two handed, with the support hand running the gun - I figured if I'm shooting lefty, it's 'cause my strong wing has been clipped. However, in a recent IDPA match, I had a mag malfunction and my last mag was my "barney" mag stowed in my right front pocket. I transitioned the pistol to the left hand reloaded with my right and rather than waste time transitioning back I shot the rest of the string lefty. For some reason though, my right hand came up to complete the grip and I was surprised at how well I shot "bass-ackwards" like that as opposed to support hand only. All "0" hits, and - except for the time wasted farting around with the malfunction - the time was respectable.
I will definitely add this to my practice repertoire from now on.
