Technique REVISITED: CQB Gun Grab Defence AT SPEED

www.directactions.ca/

/ direct_action_combat
In this video we revisited one of our most popular, and also most questioned videos! A big call out from our first version of this was that it was done too slow, and was likely not overly effective - we're all about constructive criticism here, and wanted to show how this can be an effective defence technique when needed.
Additionally, as mentioned in the video - things are ugly - such as when your sling dethatches from your weapon system mid-confrontation. This was an unplanned, but excellent example of the importance of training like you fight - without injuring your training partners! - because you learn very quickly what can go right, and more importantly, what can go wrong.
A sincere thank you to those who comment on our videos requesting more information, or different version of the training shown. We do our best to address these as we are filming. Keep letting us know what you want to see.

"Still got hands? Put 'em to use". Legendary. Solid footwork as well, clean as.

[@IGPriX]

That improv on the second half of the video made this 10x better! It was raw and very awesome to watch.

[@ThatMocapGuy]

Having that moment with the Q/D button getting pressed is super enlightening. I never would have considered that possible...but now...I'm rethinking my forward attachment points for sure.

[@borrago]

You never would have thought that a Quick Detach could accidentally detach quickly?

[@LlamasPvP]

As close as you can get to reality. Excellent work as always Randy, love seeing the growth.

[@timbo2552]

Dude this is friggin awesome! You gotta do more of these 🔥

[@TristanGoingNorth]

Very cool demo! I wish I could do this stuff at my gym

[@shammy313]

Glad I found this channel, great info.

[@jay-firstofhisname]

Crazy QD lesson right there.

[@TheGeneral780]

Quality demo brother! Very effective! Been a couple yrs since I heard somebody "muckle on" something!!😂

[@anthony8218]

Very nice video! Not enough good weapon retention videos out there. Great to see the openness to detach from the weapon in such close quarters. So many think "why not just grab secondary" when that creates tunnel vision and attachment rather than breaking free and creating space.

[@Superplums]

I wish Devon would do some interviews or a PC with guys like you about his time in service. He is a facinating dude.

[@davidedwards3838]

Training for Lavon.

[@GTS300Coupe]

Appreciate the great content! Is there any chance you could do some video content related to civilian personal tips for staying safe while out in public spaces?

[@BVBSEAN]

Funny how they both froze when the rifle got unslung😂😂🤣 Great training and knowledge though

[@DigitalNeb]

Yep, that's effective training. Good stuff.

[@johnlee4249]

I definitely like and approve of your technique with the under/over arm grab and head slaps in the case of an active struggle over my primary weapon. And I fully understand your thought process. Having trained for this very scenario. But for me personally I do not like the idea of ever letting go of my primary firearm during an active hands on struggling situation. I prefer to inflict a major distraction technique such as always training to break the attackers leg so he/she cannot stand, meaning they lose their balance through the severe pain/trauma so he/she cannot fight.

[@addykochain2362]

Do you offer training sessions to civilians/Ex-CAF?

[@americanfirst4378]

That’s the only true way to train. You want all the kinks to come out before a real confrontation. Very impressive sir!

[@canadafree2087]

Fact: There will always be kinks and no you can't work them all out in training. Your training should condition you to keep going when something happens in real life that never happened in the school. As long as it won't hurt the student, you should never stop mid-level students mid-technique. There will be time later to talk about what happened and what the student did well and what could be done better.

[@americanfirst4378]

@@canadafree2087 that is very true! Great correction.

[@philipschofield7105]

Nice to see some fight come out there. Didnt stop the demonstration until he knew, if it was real, the situation would be neutralized.

[@baJeeken]

what would you do if you also had a knife on you while u r attacked?

[@SCARFACE69247]

That's why they say, "train how you fight". Because it sucks way less learning your stuff doesn't work in training than it does when your life is on the line.

[@bjornbonthuys5217]

You know shits real when the slings off

[@skystarspace6718]

Woww 👏🏻

[@acikuclusorular]

Grabbing secondary is what a pro do 🥳

[@WilliamLee-xl7yx]

Prayer is another option.

[@yarhacijin9463]

That is a very interesting technique! But wouldn't switching to a knife or pistol be better?

[@Tylersel]

It would be however the instructor said that because the opponent was unarmed he would not shoot him.

[@borrago]

​@@Tylerselif you are in a situation that requires full battle rattle and he grabs your primary weapon; he is now armed.

[@JB-uk7mn]

Imagine 11 more dudes right behind him flowing in and dominating the space and rooms around you and in front of you, as Randy simultaneously has you pinned with a leveraging arm and is ruthlessly beating your teeth out 😂😂😂 >dudes first though “Grab his gun” >Dudes second thought “Oh, shi--“ brain no longer worky, pain, compliance This is the most operator thing I’ve ever seen 😂😂😂

[@SkunkApe22]

Get the BCM QDs they are better than the magpul cus the button is recessed and protected. Very unlikely for them to come off like yours did in this video. They’re like dimpled similar to a wml push button that you would run so you don’t white light ND

[@EdwardPetrillo-yh3cw]

Why not headbutt? You got a ballistic helmet on. Also if your weapon is slung you might as well ditch it to have both your hands free. I suppose then if they pull on it they can create leverage because it’s attached to you. Nonetheless great video man; this material isn’t put out often. Cheers boys

[@greymedic333]

To be clear, he tried taking your rifle and you would not shoot him with your pistol? Seems like if he's trying to take your rifle, he's arming himself. Just wondering.

[@JB-uk7mn]

Randy DOESN’T f’n play 😂😂😂

[@Sakurajima616]

Would like to see this with an opponent that gives more resistance and doesn't react like trained

[@Make_Canada_Trudeau-Less-Again]

sign up for the course, I'm sure you'd have your question answered

[@mrsides89]

And just like that I moved my QD back

[@rytoma]

Quick Detached sling is bad thing on your rifle

[@CA.0verview]

Damn bending the shit out of a barrel that is your duty hun is 100% no go .

[@thicock45]

i'm not hating but if i did i'd say that wasn't speed

[@HamSandwich277]

I bought one of those push-button QD sling swivels once, and the first ex I brought it on it got wet and seized from rust.

[@dana6593]

😡 'Promosm'

[@canadafree2087]

Many martial art schools will teach you BS techniques for years as long as you keep paying them. People paying for the classes are getting their ass handed to them everyday by people who had no training except from fighting on the street in real violence. True combat comes from bringing the violence and pain faster and harder than your attacker. He mentions over and under for the buttstock. The viewer should be aware that US military teaches both ways depending on unit. Therefore, train retention both ways, remembering that even if you are a CQB buttstock underarm guy, your gun may be grabbed while you have it mounted to your shoulder and the attacker may push that buttstock above your shoulder.

[@autist.]

Lmao is there blood on his gloves?
