How to Dual Wield Pistols (Handguns)
Shooting one handgun from each hand is a great idea if you are out on the shooting range and looking for a new challenge. For defensive use against multiple attackers, dual pistols (or akimbo) allows you to target two enemies at once, have a higher rate of fire, hold twice as much ammo without having to reload and have a backup pistol if one jams. The downsides are that there is less accuracy and you have to hold each pistol with one hand.
Steps

Select your handguns. This technique can be used with revolvers or pistols. The pistols should ideally be the same, or at least similar in size, weight and firing ability.

Make sure you can shoot both pistols well.

Practice shooting with both hands, focusing on one at a time. Make sure you are equally good at shooting accurately with both your left and right hand.

Practice shooting one pistol while keeping the other one in a ready position.

Fire both pistols at the same time or alternately. No matter what you've seen in John Woo movies, the human eye can't accurately aim two pistols at once, so use point shooting. This will lower your accuracy, but the alternative is painfully slow shooting.

As you alternate, try to keep the unused pistol in the low ready position between shots. If you fire both pistols in different directions, check in advance that there's nothing that would be dangerous or irresponsible to shoot in the direction you aren't looking. And naturally, shooting in a direction without looking will be very bad for that hand's accuracy.

What's your reaction?
