Not a really good idea. I personally know a CCW trainer who tried to do that. He got shot through his hand when the shooter didn’t expect that to happen and he pulled the gun back. There was enough resistance that he pulled the trigger in the same motion as the barrel slipped away from the trainer’s hand.
“if your hand is on the slide and the pistol goes off your hand would receive burns or cuts.”
Even if so, I’d take that over someone pointing my own weapon at me any day.
Ping for.later. Interesting
I don’t care what kind of video supports this. Nothing on the top of that slide shown gives any indication of a non-injurious profile that won’t damage an ungloved hand.
Secondly, recoil and hand position in this condition seem VERY critical to me.
I’m pretty much thinking this is just crap myself.
if the bad guy is that close it’s time for the tactical knife to come out. i carry two, one in left pocket and one in right pocket.
