While googling for one shot stops, I ran across some statistics that got my attention. See the following:

Scroll down to One-shot Drops (approximately halfway down the page) I tried to format this information in this post, but couldn't figure out how to format it properly.:embarassed:
First, the number of LEO's KIAed indicates how dangerous a job they have. Second, the number KIAed while wearing body armor is way more than I thought it would be. Third, approximately 10% were KIAed with their own weapon. This statisitic brought to mind some things I hadn't given as much thought as I should've:
1. In the event of a less than one shot stop (most of the time) how would one prevent the loss of your weapon if the BG keeps coming and you're in a reload situation?
2. Is there, in the forum's opinion/experience, any leverage advantage (small frame vs. large frame weapons) in retaining your weapon in a struggle?
3. Have any of the forum had any training cover this aspect of CCW?
If so, would you share experience or sources?
I've some ideas of my own, such as moving to put cover/distance between you and the BG, if possible. What are some suggestions from the forum?
