Using a pistol as an impact weapon is *not* recommended. The pistol can be damaged and malfunction.

many..and now very many years ago uncle had a Colt police positive 38 special with YPD stamped on the butt of the frame.Grips were wood and at the base it was full of indentations that indicated the pistol was used to hammer in nails and bang on all types of stuff.I am sure a few perps heads.
Wonder if the PD’s handy man ever shot his foot

In my opinion, Collins is just a guy who hasn’t reconciled himself with the possible necessity of having to shoot and kill someone someday who is posing a mortal threat to him or his loved ones. That’s understandable. It probably makes him a better person than me since I don’t think I would hesitate personally, but... it could also get him killed and he should seriously consider that and get some training to help him come to grips with it.

If you must use a pistol as a club, keep your finger off the trigger.

If I'm in a situation where using a firearm as a club seems "logical", I'm pretty sure that pointing and shooting will seem even more logical.

If you cannot pull the trigger don’t have the gun. This guy is very lucky he was not killed.
