I answering another post I realized we almost never talk about creating distance if you suddenly find yourself being rushed by a bad guy.
I know most who have carried a long time know that a gun can be disabled if someone gets their hands on the slide or cylinder and prevents it from moving.
It does fit the criteria I believe, if not and it goes sideways feel free to remove. I don't want to talk about karate or boxing, or any other form of self defense, just the ability to create space if need be, and the awareness to new shooters that it is indeed important to have enough space to engage your weapon. It is something to keep in mind if and when you encounter a potential situation where you feel you may be forced to draw your gun.
It should be foremost in ones mind if that ever does happen, in order to stop someone from taking your gun from you, especially if older, weak, or small in stature, as you can easily find you just handed someone a gun just by presenting it.
Thoughts?
Feel free to add any other implements you carry, like a Tac light, or baton, knife etc.
