Don’t worry it’s cool. You’ve probably seen videos of this officer.
What a load of crap... 9 times out of 10 the cop = giblets for trying that!
(especially with a shotgun!)
I’ve seen videos of guys trying to reproduce what this guy does and nobody seems qualified to have the same success.
I can see a cop pulling off these maneuvers against inexperienced gun owners. The cop's combat training allows them to process things much faster.
The pistol disabling is basically simply understanding the fundamentals of the weapon.
These maneuvers do seem to be for desperate situations only and requires plenty of practice and strength in their own right(maybe the defender misses grabbing the pistol). Definitely not something as a first option nor can they be really reliable. I mean, they might work on a newb who just got a gun and not trained in other forms of combat but definitely not on someone who has studied the gun and goes to the range all the time, like a rogue law enforcement officer or mob member.A pistol at point-blank range is a VERY different situation then a 12-gauge... WAY easier to miss since there's only one projectile. Bullets make holes... buckshot makes a mess.
Even so if said pistol is pressed firmly into the cops (or anyone's) back/gut with the perps finger on the trigger the cop is almost certainly getting shot before he can do anything.
It's basically a magic trick. Chances the LEO or anyone else is going to be on point like that when experiencing the stressor of a real loaded gun aimed at them, is very low percentage.Seems more like a showoff of cop speed vs regular people speed and indirectly....a message not to fuck with any cop.
