I know you said it's only the left, but my silent spectating of this forum has impressed on me that two hands are required to shoot effectively.
Olympic shooters (and many competitive shooters) practice two handed and one-handed. Bracing an arm against the torso while standing goes a long way, but shooting one handed accurately is definitely quite feasible, and in some cases desirable.
