Everyone practices double handed, but what about the oh-crap of being wounded and being forced to fire singlehanded?
I've been instructed through my work on multiple pistol, rifle, and shotgun reload/malfunction clearing methods.. and since firearms refresher is coming up (and i'm still not entirely used to a duty belt) i've been practicing some...
handgun (glock with tritium irons)
Use holster, thighs, or knees to secure weapon after dropping a mag to feed fresh mag to it. Holster works best for me if I'm weak side incap, but putting it between my knees works better if it's strong side incap.. seems like I could fumblefuck and knock it out of the holster too easily since you set it in there backwards.
Use duty holster/belt/accessories/boot heel to run the slide. My cuff case is at about my 7:30 on my belt and seems to work well if I'm forced to weak hand it, and my holster is effective for strong side only. Hang up the rear sight on your gear to force the slide to cycle. The boot thing seems like it'll be effective, but I think I'd have a good chance of jamming my pistol in the dirt if I was kneeling, and it's a PITA to try to balance and rack it that way standing.
Type 1 malfunction, beat the mag on your belt and rack the slide off your belt or holster..
type 2 same thing
type 3 drop the mag, if it won't fall clear hold mag release and beat forearm on thigh/knee to help knock mag clear, rack until malfunction is clear then reload as per above
Rifle is an M16 style AR with standard A2 buttstock, iron sights.
There's 3 different methods that they teach, and neither of the posts I am at this shift have an AR so I'll have to play around while I am at home..
Basically they teach to either sit, cradle rifle with legs and reload/rack the bolt, or put the muzzle on your foot and brace the rifle with your shoulder to the buttstock to rack/reload. Use the mag on the charging handle to pull it back while bracing rifle between your legs while seated to depress the bolt catch to deal with any malfunction.
Shotgun's an 870...
3 different methods to rack the slide:
Brace buttstock between legs while seated, you can also reload in this position
"juggle" shotgun with slide released after shooting to get hand to pump, pump shotgun using inertia (think Terminator 1)
Use inertia while keeping firing grip on buttstock/grip to rack slide forward and back.
What methods have you guys trained on that work well?
