I'm talking about when revolvers or even way back when flint lock pistols were around. Did it ever occur to those guns that gripping the gun with both hands would help? Or is the conception of shooting revolvers with one hand just in movies?

Bear in mind handguns were originally developped for cavalry - until the turn of the 20th century most fighting handguns were for designed with cavalry in mind. You gripped your sword or reins with the other hand.
It wasn't until the 50s when guys like Jeff Cooper, Skeeter Skelton and Bill Jordan - mostly law enforcement - started looking at handgun shooting more scientifically. That's also around the time revolver training went from single-action bullseye shooting to double-action combat shooting. I'm sure people did it, but it was never really common practice.
