1- i don't know what the drill is called, but that is a real close-quarters application, deflect the weapon, draw and fire.

2- He is not putting his hand there to slap the hammer back, he is deflecting brass from his face. Holding the weapon in close like they are doing is standard CQB technique. If you extend your hand, the other guy could supposedly do the same to you, and you would be right back where you started.
