I think this is more of a training issue than a hardware issue.

The fact he has one of his hands on your arm grabbing you means 1/2 of his upper body's defensive capibility is occupied, while you still have 2/3 of your able to act: the other arm and head-butts.

Garb the right arm, please...pull it towards you, so it can be followed in with a headbutt that comes from the legs and torso as an opener, then follow on with whatever comes out.

That's also completely discounting any stomps to the ankle, knees to the groin or thigh, groin grabs....

If you have, or can access a weapon from your weak side, great; however, if you don't have that gun or knife, you can still do significant damage, especially in close.

Also be aware that while your weak hand is attempting to access your weapon, you probably aren't attacking your attacker's vision or balance which puts him in the position of having momentum of the situation in his favor.

The best thing to do attack upon contact. An arm grab is an attack to your mid-line, so go low with stomps and kicks and high with your weak hand & head to his throat & eyes.

If you are going to access a weapon weak side, do it while the attacker is distracted and not able to jam YOUR weapon access.

As I said, I feel this is more of a training issue, not a hardware issue.
