NYPD Sgt. Saves Own Life by Jamming Finger Into Trigger of Felon’s Gun
A quick-handed NYPD sergeant stopped a violent felon from shooting him in the gut by jamming his ring finger under the hammer of the felon’s .38 revolver, cops said today
The article describes the officer as putting his finger between the hammer and cylinder. They might have meant between the hammer and frame. A finger behind the trigger and inside the trigger guard will work too. A revolver can also be disabled with a tight grip on the cylinder.
A woman I dated many years ago had a nice scar on the web of her hand between her thumb and index finger from doing the same thing.
She was a nurse and a guy pulled a gun on her in the ER one night. She jammed her and down between the frame and hammer and he pulled the trigger. The fixed firing pin took a nice chunk out of her.
