[John Sabato]

Lugers, like any handgun should be shot using the most effective technique possible, depending on how important it is that your target get a hole in it where you want it.

I can tell you that during my 20 years in the US Army, we were never taught to take the stance you see in the photos above... you use everything to your advantage... including two hands when they are available. If I had come across anyone in a combat type situation taking aim in my direction with any kind of weapon using the stance illustrated by the photos, their very next position would have been prone... face down!

I was a coach/participant on a competition combat pistol team while stationed at Ft. Gordon GA... We used both hands and shot both slow and rapid file from Off-hand, kneeling, sitting, and prone... using the 1911A1 .45 ...and all with two hands... we were scored on hits, and the ability to switch magazines under pressure during the shooting...not stance.
