I think that sums it up. Thankfully I have never had to wrestle someone to prevent him or her from shooting him/herself, but I sort of think that, if I were in such a situation my primary goal would be to keep the muzzle pointing away from both me and the other person. I'll even hypothesize that this is probably instinctive. So, if you're wrestling with a woman, who is probably smaller and weaker than you, if the gun just happens to be pointing right between her eyes when it "accidentally" discharges, I would find that rather incredible (in the literal sense of the word).
