Which option represents the transition to firearm in a disarm scenario within R.C.A.T.?

• A. R.C.A.T. Firearm Disarm (Takeaway)
• B. The Knee Rake (Firearm Retention)
• C. R.C.A.T. Firearm Disarm (Transition to Firearm)
• D. Firearm Retention (Same side grab)

Answer: (C)

In RCAT, the sequence in a disarm scenario includes moving from removing the weapon to taking control of it and preparing to use or secure it. The transition to firearm is the step that marks this shift—from disarming to actively obtaining or maintaining control of the firearm as part of the response. The option that explicitly says RCAT Firearm Disarm (Transition to Firearm) is the best fit because it names this exact progression, not just the initial removal or a retention tactic. The other choices describe either the initial takeaway or retention methods, which focus on preventing the weapon from being lost rather than moving into control of the firearm.
