He alleges a "5 1/2 inch strap became wedged between the trigger and the trigger guard and subsequently caused the firearm to fire."In this passage, the "5 1/2 inch strap" is a euphemism for "his finger".
There are two causes of firearms incidents, carelessness and ignorance. I think both came into play for this induhvidual.

My Sidekick holster has about a 5 1/2" strap on it, but I'll be darned if I can figure out how to get it stuck between the guard and the trigger.

I know someone who had a disconnector failure on a 1911. It caused the weapon to discharge all 9 rounds in one trigger pull.
