Ive been shooting two guns at once for years.
My favorite method has been what I refer to as the Jerry Ahern style. You hunch over and lock your elbows into your hips which sort of stabilizes your forearms.
Instead of moving your hands when your aim shifts rotate your hips so that your upper body is in effect a gun turret.
At close range 15-25 yards- you will be amazed at how good you can do. I like it for wheelgunning, but a buddy of mine likes it for autos. He can shoot old wooden signs to splinters in seconds with a pair of .45 autos that way.
You sort of point shoot in that the guns are in your line of vision. If you are good at calling your shots, you can get up to speed in no time.
If you are using .38s, you can do the russian trick of keeping your hands together as they dont kick much. I would love to know why they call it the Macedonian method.....
