The best is to practice livefire but of course due to limited range restrictions this is not at all possible.

The first step is to practice with Strong and Weak hand (one haned shooting). Then incorporate reloads while using a limited ability of the other hand (so if you are shooting with your regular or stong hand the reloads are simpler but try it the other way around). This scenario holds if you are wounded on either arm/shoulder.

Now once you mastered the Strong / Weak hand try doing on your back, sitting, on your side and on your stomach.

So, if you carry do the same while trying to unholster and reload.

Practice is what is needed to get familiar with unfamiliar situations and conditions.

If you ever shoot any IDPA or USPSA or other types of pratical pistol (steel plates and such) there may be a scenario involving strong and weak hand.

Have fun, relax and practice until you are comfortable.

Remember to be safe when dry firing - no ammo in the room.
