egor20, have you ever tried to draw against your niece at close range? The gun is only good if you can access it.

Jamming draws, or taking the training weapon away from the carrier who attempts to draw, is a lot of fun. Your niece might be onto something.

At distance, all advantage goes to the gunner. At point blank, you'd better have it out already, and you'd better be shooting.

For that matter, martial arts training not only helps at jamming the other guy's draw, or even taking his weapon when he attempts to draw - it helps the martial artist who also carries at weapon retention, and at drawing against an opposing threat.

But back to quotes: "The moral is, beware of middle-aged, grey-haired fat guys - they are tricky." - a co-worker of mine, the other day, after watching weapon disarm training on the mat.
