Nice China burn :p

I'd be careful about that disarm that discharges the gun... Better than dying, but, holding slide like that, won't you mess your hand up?

I like what you said about the crying, lol. Anything you can do to distract your opponent.

@uttoushii I agree with everything you say, especially the part about me crying. that disarm i talked about, where you grab the slide, on that model of weapon, when you grab the slide and push back, the weapon can't be fired. so, in theory, you won't mess your hand up. but as you said, and as we both said in the vid, it is WAY TOO UNSAFE. so, i was mentioning it more as a way of showing how old i was, that they still taught that when i was a soldier.

With regards to disarm that discharges the gun. I agree that in certain situation it is not necessary but on the other hand in some terrorism or mass shooting incident whereby the gunman/men has NO intention to be disarmed when pointed with a gun would just give up. Many of such situation, they have no intention to be taken alive, they will keep shooting/ killing until they get killed. For such situation, disarming and discharging is the best technique. Dont take any chances.

("you don't have to do this"), hopefully soliciting a response. In that moment, a technique very similar to 3:19 worked beautifully, without a single discharge of the weapon :]

Still not something I'd ever want to try on the streets, however lol

@brooklynmonk1 Thank you sir. Yeah, me and a few friends have done several drills with a revolver loaded with caps to test the efficacy of different disarms. The most success we managed to have was, once given the command to go for our wallet/ put our hands up, was to begin moving, as the mugger would expect, and initiate dialogue, to give him something to focus on...
