LOL, ya got two hands, doncha? Actually, most of us do Cowboy Action Shooting and that requires a pair of pistols. Sure, you could reload one but that would be on the clock and a serious time penalty. I did it one match for kicks and, yep, it took a lot longer to get through a stage. Some pards pick pistols up separately, but most just buy a matched pair at the same time. Welcome to CAS City, pard.
