This article hits the high points.
It doesn't mean you need to practice it often, but it should be something you know how to do for those situations outside of the "80 percent" or whatever.

I'll have to dig around and see if I can find the video. A female officer is out of the car and gets lit up. Strong hand down and she is returning fire with her left hand when she has some type of malfunction. Probably a limp wrist but all on her dash cam video. It's been a few years but I'll try. I can't tell you how many times I've been shot in the hands durings Sims training so one handed operation and a malfunction is not unlikely. David
Well I looked through many Policeone.com training videos and can't seem to find it. I use to always tell officers when trying a new training tactic, "I don't want your trying to learning how to do this in the middle of a gunfight". David

I only got to use simunitions a few times. But I did get hit in my support forearm once, right in the center. Probably would not have been able to do much with that arm / hand. A real bullet may have been deflected or gone through and struck my torso. The soap bullet just drew a little blood.
Pistols (and attached limbs) certainly do have a tendency to attract sim rounds. With live ammo, wounds to extremities are common, including the arms. I don’t think that practicing one-handed manipulations are the top priority for training, but, I also don’t think its crazy, for the same reasons we practice weak hand.

Take it or leave it. Just another POV.
I just posted the vid and then came back to read comments because I figured surely someone would mention it. But yeah it’s good stuff and I 100% agree with him. I especially dig what he says at the end of the video because yeah, doing it his way probably hurts a little bit...... but so does dyin’.
