tips and techniques for preventing another person from wrestling a gun from you and disarming you
Aside from shooting them with it. Keep the gun close to your body. Maintain at least the five foot distance if possible. The reason for this is more distance more reaction time. Time. A gun is used to defend yourself with if you're not in the action of shooting someone with it. There's really not much other use for it. Trying to hold someone at gunpoint it's not really a good idea. I knew this before talking with my father but my father is a policeman he was in the Army he became a police from when he got out he was actually a policeman in the army. But in about 3 seconds you can travel 20 ft. 3 seconds is an eternity. You don't want them to be so far away that you can't shoot them with the gun. A pistol is very inaccurate at close range. There are exceptions to this and there are people who can shoot better then average. But the qualifying range for a 45 if I remember right was 50 ft. If you want to learn how not to have your gun taken away going by a plastic pistol find a buddy. Look up gun retention videos online. Follow their advice and practice in advance. Some people would tell you to hold two hands on the gun I think if the person can't reach your gun. Then you would have a better chance of retaining it. I have seen a deer 150 yards. More than the space of a football field. After someone is shot them and completely disintegrated their heart. On pure adrenaline. There have been quite a few instances of grizzly bears killing people. After having been shot. Bear mace works much better. I never heard anybody tazing a grizzly bear. And polar bears are much more lethal than grizzly bears. My point is don't go looking for trouble with a gun because you will find it and you may not like it when you find it. If you have to defend yourself defend yourself. If you are trying to keep someone covered make them turn around with their hands and their feet crossed. On their knees or laying on their face withs their arms and legs crossed. You want to eliminate any possibility that they can jump you. Prevention is better than a cure. Don't put yourself in this kind of situation. |

This takes training. I’m not sure it can be explained on a forum post, but I’ll tell you where to look for the training.
Techniques to counter disarm attempts are called weapons retention. These will be taught in advanced combat handgun classes and in pretty much any knife class if the instructor is using Filipino Martial Arts.
Just as knowing how to use a weapon is extremely helpful in knowing how to disarm one, knowing how to disarm one is necessary in knowing how to retain the weapon.
Some useful skills in doing this would be joint locks, countering joint locks, trapping, controlling your own and your attacker’s balance, etc.
If you learn effective wrist escapes, something uninformed martial artists laugh at, you will have the basics of handgun retention. You just have to practice them with the opponent trying to take your gun rather than grabbing your wrist, while also being conscious of what the muzzle covers.

Distance is you friend when you have a gun and are competent in its use.
As a boy and young man, I often associated with a WWI veteran and colorful character, who was one of the most proficient handgun marksmen that I have ever encountered.
On several occasions, I witnessed individuals with some military martial arts training declare that they could disarm him. He would not point any gun at anyone he was not about to actually shoot. He would take some benign object like a pop bottle and quickly make about 10 feet distance between himself and the wannabe disarming expert.
The he would order the wannabe to put his hands on top of his head and and turn facing away from him. If the guy did anything else, he would shout “Bang your dead”. When the wannabe inevitably complained that he needed to get closer to use his skills, the old man would reply something like “I know you do. What kind of fool do you think I am.”

There are very good YouTube videos on gun retention you could watch, Better, yet, seek instruction in gun retention techniques. Some martial arts schools may help, but a Police Academy would be the very best school for such instruction.
I teach gun retention training as an integral part of the Nevada Armed Guard course. It is a very physical course using real (unloaded) guns and retention holsters.
Other commenters speak about distance and prevention. All well and fine, but when someone is actively trying to extract your gun from your holster, you had better know some techniques to retain the gun and to get him off you in a hurry.

In the Japanese martial arts a very important concept is that of maai, the spacing between the opponents. If you have a spear and are facing a sword your maai will be greater than that of the swordsman because the spear is longer than the sword.
The gun increases your maai over the unarmed man and to use the gun properly you must keep the unarmed man at a distance where he cannot reach you, or the gun. Thus as he approaches to engage you must either maintain the spacing by retreating (impractical) or stopping him by threat, or by shooting him, either disabling or killing him..
