“Using the disarm you taught us, 3 TIMES I took the pistol away from him without being shot.’”
“Yesterday I was a part of a pistol certification course put on by [a well-known and highly regarded instructor] for a major US city Police Department SWAT team.
“To make a long story short — at the end of the course he was teaching disarms against a pistol touching your chest or back. He told all these people that to disarm someone from the front they first needed to get their hands up in a submissive position so they could then quickly attack the pistol…that this was the best.
“At the end…he offered a chance at disarming him from the front where he had a live pistol loaded with liquid paint bullets. No one would try because they had no protective equipment for you. So I told him I would take him up on the offer BUT that I would not use his disarm.
“Instead I used the disarm you taught us in Target Focus Training… 3 TIMES I took the pistol away from him and did not get hit by any bullets. The guy was amazed he could not hit me. I just wanted to tell you the story to thank you for teaching me such real world applications and useable skills.”
