He admits cocking the hammer, given the model and age of this gun because they wanted to use that for the movie. That doesn’t have much trigger pull, once the hammer is cocked back, it wouldn’t take much pull at all on that trigger for the hammer to fall. The other concern is he potentially didn’t lock back hammer all the way, and accidentally he let it go, the hammer went down and set off the round. The gun did not fire itself some of you people need to get that through your head. He should never be involved in handling guns again that’s a bare minimum in my opinion.
