Notes -
Come to think of it: doctrine from instructors invented in the 1800s = 100ish years of single-action revolver (including cap-and-ball) dominance = you were only really able to have one hand on the gun.
And given the number of cartridge conversions of those guns, to the point where .36 (.38 Special) and .45 (.45 Colt) are literally hold-overs from the C&B era, just couldn't afford to buy anything else- it's maybe a little less surprising that doctrine around "one hand on the gun's all you need" persisted.
