Reminds me of a book I read once about a farmer.
I have often asserted the farmer should have just shot the pigs and butchered them out.
Some lawyers discussing the interview (all? 3 parts):
Agreed to an extent. My little Heritage Rough Rider has a block pin safety, and a superchat pointed out that she owned a revolver that didn't have this block pin. So it's a little more complicated that just single action or not. Sure, it would've been great to see @Leadeye on the stream, but they seemed to acknowledge that there may be special.Saw this. Everyone on that panel pretty much doesn't know anything about single action revolvers and how they work.
Agreed. I don't know exactly which revolver was used in this. I know LE commented some before on it, but I'm not sure it's been confirmed.Unless the more modern replica revolver, Pietta I believe that was used in the production had a major malfunction it is highly unlikely the hammer could have been dropped unless Baldwin had pulled the trigger or kept the trigger depressed while cocking the hammer and releasing it or the hammer had been wacked with a hammer while he was holding it maybe but there's no indication that that happened.
Also agreed. I'm sure the sheriff's dept is checking that.Should be pretty easy to determine upon examination and present as evidence one way or another. He's either lying that he pulled the trigger or did'nt realize he had his booger hook on the trigger depressing it while he cocked and released the hammer. If I had to take a guess and was inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt I think either of those two possibilities are plausible.
Agreed yet again. I'm not sure if they've or even would release that information before any arrests would be made. I can't imagine that they'd release too much info on current investigations when decisions to prosecute are pending.Don't know for sure yet but I am unaware that the single action revolver was found to be defective.
Not really on a single action revolver. They have a number of notches (quarter cock, half cock etc.) that are designed to prevent the hammer from dropping until the hammer is all the way cocked and the trigger is depressed. Now the hammer can be dropped if released if the trigger is depressed while cocking.Is it possible to fire it by dropping the hammer before it got all they way back and locked up?
That's how I've done mine with the trigger pulled to bring the hammer down. Mine is a modern double action revolver and I wasn't sure about SAA revolvers.Not really on a single action revolver. They have a number of notches that are designed to prevent the hammer from dropping until the hammer is all the way cocked and the trigger is depressed. Now the hammer can be dropped if the trigger is depressed while cocking.
If I was being kind and I had to take a guess short of the gun malfunctioning I believe Baldwin was depressing the trigger while cocking the hammer without realizing it and it discharged when he released the hammer.
Pretty much. Unless there was some sort of malfunction or it was dropped on the hammer the trigger had to have been manipulated and the hammer released on the SAA revolver some time within the cocking sequence to have been discharged.That's how I've done mine with the trigger pulled to bring the hammer down. Mine is a modern double action revolver and I wasn't sure about SAA revolvers.
So no matter how he says it happened he had to pull or had it pulled when he cooked it back.
