| Two final notes:
|
| 1. "You'll break your wrist!" And I'll poke my eye out running around
with
| that pencil, too. ;-) I've fired 9mm semi-autos one-handed. My accuracy
| stunk, but my wrists were unfractured. There probably are guns that will
| damage an unsupported wrist; it's not axiomatic, though.

I agree whole heartedly with this...i've fired 9mm as rapidly as I could
with my off hand from the hip, and while I didn't hit jack I wasn't
physically harmed in anyway.

| 2. Firing two guns means each hand is only a few feet away from the other
| hand's gun. Given the semi-auto penchant for throwing hot brass casings
and
| the hot gasses that can come from any gun (particularly with magnum
loads),
| there could be problems....

Well if the guns are different the casings could be going away from the
shooter on both sides. There is always caseless ammo as well for a little
more money. Worst i've ever seen was a Browning that liked hitting the
shooter in the forehead.

And whipe that smirk off your face mister... =)
