D&D advice

Another D&D question: My character is a swashbuckler with both the Improved disarm feat and a great deal of slight of hand. We begin combat, but I have a surprise round before initiative is rolled. I attempt to draw my opponent's weapon instead of my own, pulling it directly out of his own sheath. Is this a disarm attempt or a sleight of hand check? On one hand I want to say sleight of hand because he isn't currently wielding the weapon, Im taking it off of his person. On the other hand, Im not actually trying to be sneaky about it. I don't care if he sees me taking it, I just want it in my hands. What do?
