Hollywood versus Reality: Running with a handgun?

[boomerhc9]

In the matches I shoot, it seems to me like the relative difficulty of the shot that I need to make after running determines if the pistol stays up higher, or if I'm swinging the off hand.

say I have an easy close target aray at 10 yards, a 30 foot path to the next shooting position, with another aray of targets at 10 yards. I'm going to do an easy exit, take my finger off the trigger, and run like hell to about 10 feet before the next shooting position. I'll slow my speed as I bring the gun to eye level, and do an easy entry to shoot at the next aray.

If it's aray 1 finishing on a challenging shot, followed by a sprint, and another hard shot, I'll do a hard exit, sprint, but usualy keep the pistol up higher the whole time (both hands), then a hard entry, witch lets me spend more time aiming while settling in the new spot.

I saw a good demo video of this by the army marksmanship unit just yesterday. I'll post it when I find it.
