The gun’s owner did something to the weapon, then passed it to the kid, who fired it.
My guess is that he might have started to re-index the cylinder, but not finished doing so, so the weapon was slightly out of time when the kid fired it.
that can’t happen, unless there is a failure in the mechanical system. If you pull the trigger partially, and then hand turn the cylinder, when the trigger is pulled again it picks up the engagement and drives it to the next chamber alignment. Also, you cannot move the cylinder if the hammer is at full cock.

Obviously this Redhawk failure was Bush’s fault.

Was that a Redhawk? I can’t tell from the video.
Although I do remember that some of the early ones did have a problem with that…

…Oh, never mind; I overlooked the link to the Firearm Blog. Oh well…

And you posted this to show us all how dangerous it is not to wear eye protection, right?
Geez, look at the goofuses without eye pro. That is painful. Get off my side, goofus.
