Which technique describes a two-handed grab from the front?

• A. Firearm Retention (Two Handed Grab from Front)
• B. R.C.A.T. Firearm Disarm (Takeaway)
• C. The Knee Rake (Firearm Retention)
• D. Firearm Retention (Same side/cross grab from rear)

Answer: (A)

Firearm retention centers on keeping the weapon under your control when someone grabs it, and the way you grip it should match the attacker’s position. A scenario where the front of the weapon is grabbed with both hands is precisely described by the technique labeled as Firearm Retention (Two Handed Grab from Front). The wording directly communicates both the number of hands and the direction of the grab, making it the best match for a front, two-handed grip scenario.

The other techniques describe different situations or approaches: one is a disarm takeaway approach that aims to remove the weapon with a specific disengagement sequence, not just securing it with both hands from the front; another involves a knee strike to create space or break the grip, which serves a different purpose; and the last describes retention from behind with a same-side or cross grab, which is a rear-oriented scenario and thus not describing a front grab.
