City Hunter's Ryo Saeba is especially proficient at this - his skills are so good he can squarely hit the gun without even scratching the hand holding it.

(Rally tends to be stalked by vengeful amputees for some reason.) She did shoot a gun out of an enemy's hand on a single memorable occasion (the guy immediately caught it in his other hand!), but it is shown to take multiple shots - she didn't have a license at the time and didn't want the cops to find a guy (albeit a sociopathic drug dealer) she'd shot. And if that's not enough she also tends to use her encyclopedic knowledge of firearms and Improbable Aiming Skills to target the one spot that would disable her opponent's weapon without necessarily knocking it out of their hands, often with catastrophic results.

Deconstructed in Gunsmith Cats: Rally Vincent's trademark move is to shoot off an opponent's thumb or trigger finger instead of merely shooting the gun out of their hands.

The Rose of Versailles shows Oscar subvert this, because she's actually pissed at the guy, so she shoots his hand, making sure that he'll never get to shoot again (she had seen him shoot a child in the back just for kicks).

Nadie from El Cazador de la Bruja seems to do this exclusively.

Mad Pierrot, superhuman floating hitman clown, does it to Spike in 'Pierrot Le Fou'.

In 'Waltz for Venus', Faye does it to some thugs at a Bad-Guy Bar.

Spike retrieves the gun, then shoots Wen's gun out of his hands.

During a gunfight in 'Sympathy for the Devil', Wen shoots Spike's gun out of his hands.Police and military snipers have been known to shoot at the firearms of their targets on occasion. Miss the shooter's hand or their gun, and they've still got a weapon they can fire at you. Truth in Television, although this isn't a common practice given how it's much easier to simply aim for centre mass (i.e. In the case of the gun being shot (not the target's hand), if the gun is somehow still usable despite having been hit by a slug of lead and copper traveling in excess of 800 feet per second, then it's a case of Magic Bullets. Sometimes, however, they were aiming for something else. Indeed, this technique is often used by heroic gunslingers (who may have an aversion to just shooting the enemy) to subdue their enemies without killing them.

note Although in particularly more violent works the poor schmuck gets a case of Fingore instead. The one on the receiving end on this trope, however, almost never gets hurt past a brief scream. A character shoots a weapon out of another's hand, or shoots their hand in order to force them to drop the weapon.
