I've been a proponent of learning to work the pistol with one hand for a long time. Why? Of course, the obvious answer is Injury to one hand. Another, less obvious, but more common occurrence is situations where one hand is being used to perform a task such as opening a door or controlling/guiding someone.
Another aspect is confidence. Simply put, if you are confident manipulating the gun with your offhand, everything else is easy.
I divide my practice into thirds. 1/3 Right Hand Only, 1/3 Both hands, 1/3 Left Hand Only. The basic gun skills are the same regardless of how many hands you get to use. They are Drawing, Shooting, Reloading and Addressing Stoppages.
Here are a couple of clips illustrating my take:
Gunhand Only Gun Stuff
Offhand Only Gun Stuff
