This guy has some good vids but I'm not sure I'm liking this one
Do it wrong and loose some flesh.
What do y'all say? You fast enough?

I prefer this approach my self

 

[Goosebrown]

Ok. File that one away for last desperate attempt to live.

 

[Sgt Nambu]

Actually, old news!

That guy is the disarm video is legit.

I'm not sure I would hold a slide for a youtube video.
Hopefully he gets paid a ton for it and has proper insurance and life insurance

 

[Cardoff]

My issue with the original video is suggesting someone else try it. I'm hoping the guy with the NRA hat is a trained professional. I imagine the rest are not. Its good knowledge to have but he had already proven his point.

If you are close enough to grab the slide of someone's gun, as they try to shoot you, then you are in a world of trouble anyway.
Only question is, would you have the presence of mind to try it?

You can get yourself that close to folks pretty easy,every day.
So you're in line at the local corner store and the bad guy is standing behind you like he's waiting to buy something?
But yeah is your first thought 'golly I'll just grab the slide on that gun then he'll only get one shot off! ? Probably not but that's the idea of the vid is to keep your survival options increasing,no?
At that range I'd be thinking of gutting someone since my gun would be in the truck

This falls under the "What the Hell , I'm gonna die anyway , so , I might as well do something !" category.

Is it a technique that I would want to practice ... No.
Would it be my first choice ... Again no.
But it is good to see that it might work , a sore hand and being alive is a better option than dead.

I think the 6 pack of beer in your hand across a head may be the better option

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Well depends on the beer I guess ...
But using what you have in your hand at that moment , may indeed be good idea.
Cup of hot coffee , the edge of a clip board across the bridge of the nose , tossing a chair , etc ...

You need to do what you can to survive in that moment

[mjbskwim]

How about a pencil?

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Yep , that would do nicely.
I can not carry at school ... Heck they sometimes get all wiggy over my EDC pocket knife...
( which is a 1930's era Schrade "Boy Scout type" pocket knife.)
So I am always looking around and thinking of what could be used as makeshift , save the students and get the Hell outta Dodge item...

If you have a bad temper like me,you can think of all kinds of ways to destroy things. Maybe it's my morbid sense of humor?
I had a table at a gun show and down a couple table was a gunsmith and his doctor wife. There was a thread cleaner on their table. I didn't know what it was,just a 1/8th steel rod about 3" with a 3 sided piece on the end.
The doc didn't like it when I suggested it be used to shove in a bad guy's ear

I have a clipboard made from ballistic polycarbonate... It is made to stop a .38 from any distance. Used it when I had a route collecting cash out of payphones. Might make a good nose masher?

 

[Andy54Hawken]

I have often thought of getting one of those ... Need to stop thinking about and just get one!
Andy

 

[bbbass]

I see if I can find it Andy. I don't remember where I put it. Think it's up with my holster stuff... will look on Sunday.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Thank you bbbass...

We all did this at an OFA class. It is not as big a deal as everybody is making it out to be. The slide needs momentum to hurt you and it doesn't even take a death grip to keep it from moving back very far.
