Yeah, that type of action requires zero hesitation. 100% commit, or don't commit at all.
Nice job, Marine.

After entering the store, the suspect pointed the gun at the cashier before another customer reacted quickly and disarmed the suspect. The good Samaritan detained the suspect before Yuma County Sheriff's deputies arrived, officials said.
The suspect is a minor and was booked into the Yuma County Juvenile Justice Center for one count of armed robbery and one count of aggravated assault.
Two other suspects in the incident are still outstanding, according to officials.
The customer who stepped in was later contacted and explained that he was a U.S. Marine Corps veteran and thanked his training for helping him to gain control of the situation.
“The Marine Corps taught me not to [mess] around," he said.

I wonder what [mess] actually was.

Glad he wasn't hurt. He instantly lost control of the weapon and was very lucky not to be shot.
I've trained in this method, and while it's not perfect, I'd focus on getting control of that muzzle first. If you're going to fight over the weapon you better make sure you try to control where it's pointed. It's really hard to get a surprise take-away of a firearm like this.
If you're the one holding the weapon your first instinct is to tighten your grip and pull it back into your body, and if your finger is inside the trigger guard you will fire the weapon.

Looked to me like he used his left hand to push the tool (pistol) off line while simultaneously using his right hand (and twisted tea?) to attack the weapon (bad guys noggin). Looks like it worked out fine.

Glad he didn't end up getting shot. Unless he knocked the gun out of the thugs hand off camera it could have gone real bad for him.
