Easy to do in training with an unloaded uncocked 1911.

A bit different in real life with real bullets.

I was taught in Karate and Police Training to grab a pistol by it’s belly near the chamber or cylinder and if you can the part where the hammer will fall.

Sure, you will get a nasty gash but, preventing the gun from firing or firing twice is a small injury comparatively.

It is also thought best to grab the weapon from the backside of the hand wielding the weapon as the strength for the backside is considerably weaker and the aggressor cannot easily push their arm to the outside.

They can exert considerable strength on the inside pull however.

You can overpower them more easily from the outside and while attempting to take the firearm, if you fail, you can easily use your weight and strength to push the firearm back into the aggressor.

At that point and in that position, if it goes off, it’s not really such a bad thing....is it?

Practice at all gives you a better chance than having never practiced.

No, he just realized another bad guy was standing a couple yards away with a shotgun.

You have to be very fast and more importantly, very, very accurate. Otherwise, you’ve annoyed your aggressor. That could turn out... bad.

And they would have to be within 3 to 4 feet.

The weapon is likely to discharge as you grab it, but the idea is to grab it and strike the inner wrist (affecting the nerve system which is involved in carpal tunnel syndrome) ... it is vulnerable where he strikes. If the weapon is a large caliber revolver, the hand grabbing is gonna get burnt, but grab you must, or be the victim. With a semi-auto the hand will be injured when the gun discharges, but grab you must, or be a victim.

If you push slightly on the grab, most semi-autos will not fire. It pushes the slide just enough out of battery to prevent firing.

Everything he says has to be done near simultaneously. If you move your head out of the way too early, the shooter will be spooked.

Liberals recommend you crap yourself and the smell will make the attacked leave you alone. Really. Liberals.

Agreed, but I was trying to emphasize that you must grab the weapon or become a victim. I also favor moving in rather than away from the perp. You have surprise working for you for only a split second. If you don’t get the weapon out of the perp’s hand, you are at close range which gives you an advantage of striking the perp with knees and elbows while still trying to prevent the re-firing of the weapon. Closing the three to four feet makes it much harder for the perp to get a clear shot at you so long as you grab, and grab you must, or be a victim.

My grandmother taught me to kick them "down there" as self defense..

Fortunately, I've never had to put the theory to the test.

I have practiced this many times. It requires quick and violent action.

I use a two hand grip. Now what? You strike my left outer wrist but my right hand still has the weapon.

DO you remember the piss yourself or throw up rape defense that someone was pushing a while back?

I have always believed that God gave us Mr. Colt, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wesson for a reason.
