Bill,

Like I said, I feel that it is easier to disarm someone with a gun that someone with a knife. Even with a pocket pistol, it is not easy to draw quickly. If the gun snags and you lose control of the attacker's gun hand, then you will likely get shot. I can draw and open my knfe very quickly with one hand. Bill, you respond how you want but for me, contact distance calls for a knife. I hope that neither of us has to find out what technique works better.
