Ive done it with two .40's (glock and xd) and wasnt able to hit anything but with two .22 autoloaders it is much easier due to the low recoil. It also is a fun way to learn to shoot with your other hand.

I do it all the time and generally don't hit squat.
In fact, usualy you start shooting up the ground in front of you.
Fortunately, I generally run out of ammo with my .45s before I shoot off my own feet.
I do have a friend though who is very good at it.
At 25 yards he can shoot at things like old wooden signs with a pair of .45 autos and competelly obliterate them. He's like a radar controlled gun turrett with a pair of pistols.
It looks cool in the movies, but I would not recommend it for real life self defense. You are better off taking time and aiming and using both hands to control a gun.

Question: Is it practical?
Answer: No, but it can be fun.

This one's run its course.
