Hey guys ty coming to you from Black Scout survival so never going to talk about weapon retention it's one of the bigger things that whenever you carry a firearm II you make that decision that needs to be priority number one because whenever you go to a fight if you're attaining a firearm there's always one gun there and it's yours and you want to.

Protect it so a couple things we want to talk about is one if somebody's approaching you say on the street you're walking down the alley with your girl or whatever you just come out to dinner maybe somebody's coming up and asking you for money or something you perceive a threat in some way the first thing I always do out of muscle memory is I just.

Drop back my right foot kind of like this and blade off one that lets me have my defensive arm my left arm out front I keep my gun away from the perceived threat and I've also gotten this one [ __ ] back here spying deliver a strike or a punch it's already cocked back I throw my that strike but let's say somebody.

Approaches you and you perceive it as a deadly force incident or a deadly force threat drop back and take that blade off if they're close enough to you that you can strike strike out and I like to deliver a strike here to the throat one because I'm not using my hand on a hard head and that's gonna hurt my hand I can save this for later but attacks my.

Throat right here it's gonna stun them just enough when you jab out that you can come back with your firearm and shoot from the hip if you need to you right here or you can go ahead and drop back like I did and touch all the way out and get that good fighting position that you want then you're not fighting on your heels you're in a good fighting.

Stance so same scenario except instead of having my gun in the appendix carry I've got it back here in my four o'clock now this is more consistent with what I did when I was in patrol and law enforcement as I would always have my gun obviously at the three o'clock readily accessible so if I proceeded to throw it if I was even engaged with.

Somebody on the street I would take that one step back and blade myself off keeping my gun side away from a perceived threat again I've got this for defense and I've got this for deadly action it's the same principles I can rust out if I need to if they're close enough we're if not I'm gonna pull my shirt up.

Like this and expose my firearm I'm gonna draw and again I can punch out here and shoot from the hip and my hand here to guard my head or I can take that small step back punch out and again address the thread the way I need to still in a good fighting stance all right we're still in the 4 o'clock carry position what I just showed you.

Prior was a perfect world scenario I can get distance I can drop back I've got time to lift my shirt up with my support hand draw with my gun hand and punch all the way out is that gonna happen in the world world 99% of time no a lot of times what's going to happen is this if I've got someone coming up on me I may have time to strike strike me right here.

So he's got me pinned and what does he feel right there with his left arm my gun I can't do anything get my hands here and now I'm getting shot my own gun the reasons I like appendix carry is because I can keep it up here we're going to show you in just a second all the protection techniques you can use to protect your gun from here instead of.

Back here if you're trying to use both your hands are tied up so let's say he's got he's trying to protect his gun and I'm over here what is going on here his face and everything's just opening up I could just eat him alive you know he's got a gun on him if I knock him out then I got the gun too so you know what I mean a good clean elbow strike and he.

Could go down I've got to drop my defensive position from right here to get my gun out to here and that's never what we want to do we always want to protect the good stuff up here and keep our hands close to our faces we can strike and move and you're also having to keep gonna have to keep his body in this position to make sure the the.

Pistol is that far away from me so any real conventional fighting techniques this is it this work he's he's kind of married to this position where and he's stuck here because he don't want to if he turns his body for whatever reason then the guns here especially come up like this and then I can grab his gun and just blast him right here you know.

Especially if somebody knows a little bit of jujitsu this is a big problem so now I have my weapon in the appendix carry configuration right here in front of my toe behind my belt buckle and we're gonna do the same thing jack is gonna be the aggressor and he's gonna come towards me I'm gonna drop back and I hey man what's going on what you doing.

Over there he's gonna come towards me in an aggressive manner and I'm gonna deliver that strike right he's gonna tie me up we're gonna wrap up here I've got my hands in the same position that I had back when he tried to grab my gun on the 4 o'clock position the only difference is now I can use my elbows to come out and push him up I've got my gun right.

Here but I can access with one hand and cope here just get to shut them all the way through or bring it up for a head shot of finding these two the biggest thing is get your gun out if this is a deadly force incidents get it out maybe it on target and start pumping rounds into them because obviously we're not gonna have an.

Instant kill shot right here the gun but it's gonna hurt a lot and when you hit this pelvic girdle it's gonna bleed a lot so as he's getting shot right here he's going to take his hands and cover up that wound right there now I can break contact and punch out get some distance hey somebody call 911 one do this do that you get on the ground.

Whatever we needed to do especially because this pelvic area here I mean that he's gonna be like a mobile you can also look at an hour we're talking another week yeah I care about something about a doctor we had spoke to or heard about and basically like walking the gun off of them more separated their shots the more blood loss the quicker the guy.

Was gonna go down and said and in one spot is that right yeah it's called the zipper technique so if we were tied up or if you I was gonna go into mediation I could break contact and get my gun out and start low bang bang bang and as he's coming up I can push him off to continue delivering shots here because the more shots you have on target and the more.

Spread out they are the more areas you hit the faster is gonna into shock that's the reward that's an immobilization if somebody goes into shock about trying to hit you so that's the ultimate goal so hope you guys learn something we've gone over the advantages and disadvantages of pendeks the advantages of disadvantages of four.

O'clock carry each each thing has its benefits and pros and cons like I said I prefer the appendix for my body type I'm fit and overly fit as one coming or put on the last video so I can i can use appendix so that's the most practical for me and honestly in my experience most practical for everybody as long as your body type and your belly isn't you.

Know coming over your pistol you can get to it basically this back here would be just for comfort speaking of pump for any you guys sitting here colourless videos in your mama's face and iron her silk pajamas hit that thumbs down so know who you are  you.
