Some of you guys are a little better at youtube research then me. Anyone have a link to the video showing someone grabbing the slide when the gun goes off and their hands not getting chewed up? I keep getting the same comments all the time about our gun defenses not working because grabbing the slide will tear up your hand.

Thanks!

Re: looking for youtube video

This is a decent article with a link to video clips showing exactly what you’re asking about. The article concludes that holding the slide during discharge is not painful. You don’t want any part of your hand behind the slide or in front of the barrel (obviously).

FWIW, I have a friend who is a SWAT commander, has performed similar tests and draws the same conclusion.

We played with simunitions to test gun from the front at a LE cert. The rule was that the defender got set in neutural stance. The gunman pulled the trigger the moment that he saw the defender move. Thirty-five shots were fired, 33 successful defenses (in fairness, one guy panicked and shot my buddy Rick prior to a move). No issues with the slide tearing up any hands.

The defense works. End o’ story.

Sad to say, no video… It was a great day of realistic training.
