Step 5 is to create distance. After you've taken the gun away from your attacker, it would be crazy for you to just stick it right back in his face because he is going to try to do the same thing to you that you just did to him. He is going to try and grab his gun back, so you don't want to that, you need to create distance, you have to get outside of that reactionary gap distance.
From here, you do your disarm. This can be accomplished in a couple of ways. You can deliver a quick strike, eye jab, punch; for those of you who have systems that have a sidekick, defense sidekick that works also, something to get him going in one direction while you step back in the other direction using proper weapon retention techniques. The worst thing you can do, again, would be from here to take the gun away from him and then do this, he is going to grab it again, that doesn't make sense.
So you need to make sure that he doesn't get that gun back away from you. So you do that by throwing a strike at him and then stepping back yourself and keeping the gun held close to you.
For training purposes, you can add in a sixth step; keep in mind this is strictly for training and not part of the actual process of doing a disarm out on the street, and that is, once you've done all of your steps and have done the disarm, at this point here, have your partner try to grab the gun back. Try to grab the gun back, and then this is a way to make sure that people will concentrate on that critical fifth step of creating distance and using proper weapon retention techniques.
Okay, and so that sixth step is this, that once you've taken that gun away from your partner, don't have them try to grab it back again, so that you practice all your techniques that critical fifth step.
