If the attacker does not expect defense, then things are super-easy. If they do, then you want to practice that much harder situation.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Less than you'd think. Look closely at the 1st disarm: the 1st part is moving the weapon off line. It also overflexes the wrist, which (1)

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

(2) makes pulling the trigger much harder and weakens the grip, setting up the 2nd movement with your other hand. Even if they retain it (2)

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

That's a disadvantageous position for the wrist/forearm.

I see your point, but fingers are pretty easy to break, so don't think it'd change the outcome much, just the finesse.
