Videos tagged with Trigger Theory

This video tests the theory that a Colt Single Action Army revolver could fire without the trigger being pulled, specifically in relation to the Alec Baldwin 'Rust' incident. Through mechanical analysis and impact tests on a Pietta Model 1873, the video demonstrates that simply striking the hammer is unlikely to cause discharge. The presenter suggests that 'slip-firing' or having a finger on the trigger during cocking is a more plausible explanation for accidental discharges in SAA revolvers.
