Hmmmmmm, let's see. I shoot bullseye pistol league all winter. Since I have tendonitis in my right arm on occassion, I shoot with my left when the right hurts--and do allright with my "weak" hand. I hunt with my pistols. I go to the range and shoot my pistols, out to distances of 200 yards. With that being said, why would I need to go pay someone to play commando? I think I already know HOW to use my pistols. If many of you would actually try to shoot at targets more than 5 yards away, you could "learn" how to use yours too. My two cents.
