Slip fire pistols have to have the trigger tied back to make it a slip fire. If that trigger was not tied back then the trigger had to be pulled to make it fire.

Blame should be placed on the armorer who allowed a live round in the firearm, And Baldwin who should not even have pointed it at someone and pulled the trigger.

I am reminded of John Erik Hexum who took while fooling around on the set, took a blank loaded firearm, put it to his head, and pulled the trigger killing himself with a blank loaded firearm.

I’ve only shot a couple of revolvers - .44 Magnum and .357 Magnum.

The .357 scared me a bit - it was quick - really quick - didn’t take much pull length(?) at all.

Now for a fully-trained person, that’s certainly advantageous.

All of my pistols are semi-auto and that’s what I’m used to shooting.

But I’ll say, that .357 was quick. Yikes.

Should we not wait until we know how a live round got into that gun before we blame the armorer?

If someone else put it in there, how would it be her fault?

If the live round was in the box of dummy rounds they purchased from that supplier, how would it be her fault?

I think some people are too quick to place blame before they have heard the facts.
