This happened last week.
I OC my Glock 23Cin a Blackhawk serpa holster about 90% of the time I am carrying.
My GF just got her first firearm recenlty and I have been helping her get comfortable with the idea of carrying. We both have our CHP (concealed handgun permit) and she does not feel comfortable OCing, though she also owns and uses a serpa holster.
We were getting ready to go out and I strapped on my G23C like normal (one in the pipe). My GF says, "what if someone does this and tries to take it..." while she reaches from behind me to try and grab my gun, and puts her hand on the grip in a semi-drawing manner. :shock::what:
I instinctively reacted. Grabbed her wrist, twisted, and made her bend over via wrist manipulation. As soon as I realized what I was doing, I let go. Of course I was the one appologizing.:banghead: I told her that it was a bad idea to try and grab my weapon, especially if I'm not prepared for it.
I used to teach an introductory self defense course and have done a decent amount of force on force practice/training.
Moral of the story: Basic training can go a long way in weapon retention. Muscle memory and reflex do exist.
Sometimes it can not be a good thing, though I won't tell anyone that.
