I'm not saying you can't, but I'd like to test this.
I teach a gun take away technique that is very effective. However, it doesn't work unless you get closer than 5 feet. We practice it by having the "bad guy" say "bang" as soon as the defender moves. I'm slow, but I haven't been shot yet and I've always gotten the gun. From 5 feet I think the defender would always get shot.
This is just a thought and I'm not "calling you out" or anything like that. I'd just like to work with you and learn. I'm always open to learning more.

I trained with an (both parties verified) unloaded J-frame. So it wasn't a matter of someone saying "bang!" it was when the hammer struck. We didn't measure distance really, but I was within one step and a reach, which I would approximate to 5 feet. I understand, it is abit of a bold claim, and I will admit dependent on the attacker not using the "retention" position I was taught, but I don't know anyone who naturally holds a gun that way.
