Extremely difficult to shoot accrately. I liked the "John Woo" method the best.

Just to be clear, I'm assuming by gangsta style, you mean holding the gun sideways with one hand, correct? I suppose that this would work at point blank range, but from a distance, no way José!

I haven't tried it, but I saw a picture with some sights for it... (LOL)...

I'll stick to the old fashioned way.

No can't say I ever even really considered it.

I'd say no, for me I was raised with guns as tools, and there is a right way and wrong way to use a tool. I simply use them as I was taught to use them. Anyone else can use them how they want, as long as they don't point them at me or "my posse". :)

Actually, I am not ashamed to admin it. I did rapid fire one magazine on each side and one upside down just to see if it would cause any problems. You never know when you might have to shoot from an odd angle and I wanted to know that it would work, it did.

Have never shot "Gangsta style" but have seen it at the range. I will admit that when I shoot one handed weak hand I have a tendency to tilt the gun to the side slightly. It just a more natural feel and allows me to see the front sight easier.
