every gun grab ive encountered is a definate attack, ie meaning im going to end it. not push him away. it is beneficial to push his hand down retaining weapon in holster, but follow up with an arm takedown and wristlock technique and secure the attacker, not allow for more confrontation.

fuck the police

ever watch the ufc? i have seen guys striking like this gentleman on the video- the other guy isn't just standing there not fighting back! to make a video of techniques like this puts officers that may not know better in danger assuming that the attacker won't be able to fight back.

@hitman44139 That's exactly what I thought. The dude was trying to kill you in the first place.

[lordscrub]

why not just punch him in the throat or grab onto his head and stick your thumb in his eyes?, problem solved with no more what ifs variables

[hitman44139]

Hands on the gun is (to my understanding) a lethal use of force. I wouldnt go to an intermediate level tool after disengaging. I would draw my side arm. The scenario has endless "what if's" at this point.

The fancy spin of the Impact weapon was really cool though....

my concern is that you're pushing a subject away from you when he is potentially using deadly force against you by reaching for your weapon. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to secure the subject on the ground? I am in no way calling you out, I am a Defensive Tactics Instructor and simply care to share in a debate. I have found it most beneficial to secure the subjects grip with my elbow which allows me to use both hands for control. Your thoughts.

This is a great instructional vid!!!, I mean for criminals to learn how to defeat an officers retention stratagey and kill him with his own weapon.... GOOD JOB!!! I hope this info does not cause an officer his life!

@opisex

Same principle...you just spin the other way (against the elbow)

hmm just thought about something else.. the guy is attacking with his right hand against another right handed person.. even though his left hand is closer to the targets gun.

now lets say the attacker either right or left handed attacks using their left hand instead.. putting your bodies more squared off? in the video the attacker looses the ability of their left hand because they're reaching across but not so if they attack with their left hand what do you do about dealing with their right?
