I am fascinated with the prospects of pistol whipping a bad man.  Say my gun jams or I run out of bulllets.  How do I go about it?  Does it depend on the type of firearm?  Say it is a revolver.  I can hold the grips and pound them over the noggin with the barrel? Or whip it against the side of their head?  Would it work just as swell with a semi?  

I was offered the opportunity to rifle-whip a whitetail doe once after I made a bad shot and my 94 jammed.  I held the barrel and beaned her with it as hard as I could swing.  Unfortunately, she was attempting to run away and I was having to run along beside her through the briars, whaling away.  I won't give the gory details, but the "prongs" that attach the rifle to the stock were bent.  She succumbed to my endeavors eventually. Bad idea I soon found out, my gun wouldn't eject properly until everything was straightened.  If you pistol whip someone, would it damage your pistol?  I could see the plastic sights getting knocked off of the cheap glocks or having one explode in your hand, much like the nasty surprise you get from pounding a nail through a shotgun primer and having the shell rebound from your forehead, hearing the ringing in your ears, the smell of burned gunpowder and the syrupy red stickiness of your own blood dripping from your fingers.

Keep your hand on the grip, strike with the barrel.

From what I've read from stories from the old west, with the side of the barrel/slide along the side of the head to daze someone, with the bottom of the grips to inflict something more serious.  I have no way to verify that.  I've never pistol whipped anyone.

Right tool for the right job.  Pistols make excellent firearms.  For proper blunt object trauma, use a proper blunt object.  I like axe handles or bats.

You will need a 1911 with an old style lanyard loop. Notice how it protrudes from the bottom of the mainspring housing, which is perfect for your needs. Simply hold the gun normally and strike downward with all your might, and laugh with glee as your target squeals like a piggie. But that's not all. Now lock the sliide back, and shove the barrel through their eye. Bam.

I believe this is a frowned upon practice.

I may/ or may not have insight that all tactical light accessories should be removed before using it as an impact weapon. And even if on duty, they will not honor the warranty if your pistol was used in this fashion.......................................................Lesson learned, new M3 purchased

I think that the "whip" in pistol whip was to describe literally whipping someone with the barrel of your six-shooter.





A big heavy revolver barrel to the temple would be very persuasive.

You hold the gun sideways in your palm and hit them with the flat of the slide/cylinder.  Think of it like brass knuckles for your palm.

Then you give the gun to your girlfriend, get her pregnant, and then snort some cocaine.

take the butt of your gun and smash their nose in. Everybody jumps. He falls down screaming, blood squirts out of his nose, nobody says fucking shit after that. You might get some bitch talk shit to you, but give her a look like you're gonna smash her in the face next, watch her shut the fuck up.

Pistol whipping is from a time when pistols fired a single shot and usually has a steel or brass cap on the bottom of the grip for just such a function.  Pistol whipping with a modern firearm is a lot like tossing a loaded gun, don't do it unless you or someone else is about to die and you can't make the shot/have no ammo.

Pstol Whipping Rules:
1) First rule, empty the gun!
2) If your victim is still alive, then you can beat him with the butt of the gun, but don't try it with rounds still in the chamber.
3) If that doesn't work, use your pistol bayonet.
