One thing to consider regarding a wallet is that it is standard procedure for violent criminals to threaten you with follow on violence. Since they have your ID with your home address on it, they have both the means and motive to further victimize you and your family at home.

One way to deal with that is to keep your cash in a money clip and hand over the cash clip instead of your wallet with ID.

Certainly situational awareness and avoidance are primary tools. If you find yourself in this unfortunate position my advice is to fully cooperate right up until the time you don't. The OODA loop tells us being able to see, understand, make good decisions and act with both speed and surprise are the keys to victory. Solid training and things like proper force-on-force training are really helpful to find your strengths and weaknesses and know what will work for you and what adds risk.

My wallet, for example, is a loose, simple bifold design, so cards and money fall out of it easily. I could toss it so its contents would scatter on the ground somewhat, which could increase the opportunities to bring the firearm into action.

Worth repeating.

This strategy is tried and true.

What if, because the robber is in my face with a gun, instead of handing him my wallet, I just take his gun from him?
