=== Anime and Manga ===
* In ''[[Fate/Zero]]'', Kiritsugu holds his Contender thus, despite the whole "firing [[Magic Bullets|magic rifle bullets]]" thing.
Line 55:
* Discussed in the [[Tom Clancy]] novel ''Teeth Of The Tiger'', in which one of the protagonists expresses a preference for firing one-handed whilst standing side-on to the target, on the grounds that this presents a narrower profile and makes him harder to hit. Whether this makes up for the reduced accuracy (his preferred sidearm is a .45ACP weapon) is a matter for opinion.
 
=== Live Action TV ===
* ''[[Blake's 7|Blakes Seven]]'', justified most of the time by the fact they're using directed-energy weapons.
* In ''[[Torchwood]]'', Captain Jack Harkness teaches WPC Gwen Cooper to shoot this way rather than the modern two-handed technique, though it may just have been an excuse to [[Covert Pervert|feel her behind]].
* In the Green Beret vs Spetsnaz episode of ''[[Deadliest Warrior]]'', the Spetsnaz representative is shown using the Makarov pistol one-handed while navigating a nighttime target course with night vision goggles on.
