The op was talking about the midevil German sword which was an extremely loooooong weapon, much longer than most folks think a sword should be.
Now put the sword out of your head. You don't carry a sword for self defense.
I doubt this forum called The FIRING Line ever was intended to discuss carrying the midevil German loooooong sword for self defense.
Now that's cleared up why would you ever drop your handgun if an attacker somehow got hands on you?
If the attacker is unarmed why did you draw a firearm?
If the attacker has a knife & you let him get hands on you then you are already sliced up.
I don't see any point to this argument at all.
I'll simply say, and this IS advice, don't drop your weapon, ever.
O.K.?
