there isn't a great deal written about this particular senario

Maybe not, I've been out of the game for a while, retiring in 1994 but in the 70s there was a big push among police departments for this type of training after Joseph Wambaugh's The Onion Field came out. It is based on an actual 1963 case.
I don't know if anyone read the book, but it amounts to two officers held at gun point and forced to give up their guns. They were taken to a field (the Onion Field) where one officer was killed the other escaped.
About that time, there was a big push about NEVER GIVING UP YOUR GUN, based on this we started training and discovered, just because some one has the drop on you, doesn't mean you are at an disadvantage.
After retiring, I kept up the practice and still teach it.
