Doc Moses Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Doc Moses 111066. I am new and reading throuhh the accepted styles and wht not, comparing that to videos. The videos show people shooting revolvers 2 handed. Off hand cocks the hammer. In the rules I only see directions for shooting onehand at a time in duelist or both hands in gunfighter. What am I missing? Which events allow you to cock and support with your off hand? Thanks for your help and time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Angus McPherson Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Duelist, Frontiersman and Gunfighter REQUIRE you to cock and shoot the pistol using only one hand. Frontiersman also requires the use of Cap and Ball pistols. Gunfighter allows you to hold a loaded pistol in each hand at one time alternating shots from each pistol. In GF you MAY shoot with one pistol out at a time, but you must still cock and shoot using only one hand. In any other shooting category you can hold the pistol in two hands cocking with the support hand and pulling the trigger with the strong hand. If I erred citing the above I'm sure someone will come along and correct me. AND, Welcome to the game. You're going to have a blast. Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Gun Barney, SASS #2428 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 You know, I never noticed that the shooters handbook only mentions shooting with two hands once, and it is an indirect reference on page 6. It only mentions shooting two handed to help define what shooting one handed is. unless of course I missed something somewhere.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
