It means it never happen. He pulled the trigger while drawing from the holster. He won’t be the first nor the last who’s shot themselves in the thigh trying to fast draw. I’m not even sure the firing pin has enough tension on it to even fire in the static position.

Most modern auto loaders are not "cocked" until you cycle the trigger. There is a block between the hammer and and the firing pin that only moves out of the way when you cycle the trigger.
