Which technique describes a firearm retention method that uses a same-side or cross grab from the rear?

• A. R.C.A.T. Firearm Disarm (Transition to Firearm)
• B. Firearm Retention (Same side/cross grab from rear)
• C. Pistol Strike
• D. The Elbow Strip (Firearm Retention)

Answer: (B)

Firearm retention centers on keeping the weapon under control during close contact. The method described—grabbing from the rear using either the same side or a cross-hand grip—allows the defender to secure the firearm and maintain leverage to prevent a disarm attempt. This rear, same-side or cross grab technique directly matches the described approach, making it the best fit. The other options refer to different tactics—disarming during transitions, a blunt striking method, or an elbow-based strip—that involve different mechanics and goals.
