Pistol Clinch and Weapon Retention

Pistol Clinch and Weapon Retention

GUN RETENTION AND DISARMING TRAININGThe pistol is the primary weapon for any Law Enforcement Professional.  Being proficient with your service pistol is as important is to learn how to keep it, avoiding disarming. According to the FBI statistics (Table 13), about 5.1% of cops felonious killed in the ten years 2002-2011 were killed with their own guns. Weapon Retention is fundamental and has improved with better training and the widespread use of high-security holsters.

  • Of the 48 officers felonious killed in 2019, most (44) were killed with firearms. Of these, 34 were killed with handguns. (See Table 28.)
  • 10 officers fired their weapons; 6 officers attempted to fire their weapons. (See Table 18.)
  • 14 officers were slain with firearms when they were less than 5 feet from the offenders. (See Table 32.)

Pistol weapon retention certification is a highly recommended class for all departments. Over 40 techniques were created, and pressure tested by Professor Andre Quiles.  First to create a full long gun curriculum incorporating the Protect, Retain, Control, Disarm, Submit and Restrain System and now updated with the specialized Pistol full retention class.  Every scenario on the clinch/pistol retention is explored. Starting from the clinch fight and clinch retention to the gun control. Strikes for weapon retention, and backup retention tools. Retention with transition drills.
