Not to get into details of the Ferguson deal but did any of you read the entire 90 page transcript of Wilson's testamony? Either way, question for you... He carried a Sig p229 .40. EVERYTHING in the statement makes sense to me except one thing really. When he's talking about being in the car with Brown getting on him, he draws the gun. Has one hand blocking his face from the attack. He eventually is able to pull the trigger but it doesn't fire, just clicks. He says he pulled it twice, click click, then the 3rd pull it fired.
Any misfire I've ever had required me to pull the slide back and chamber the next round. If I pull the trigger and it just goes click, my glock doesn't reset so pulling the trigger again does nothing for me. Is the sig different? How did he pull the trigger 3 times, first two nothing, 3rd goes bang single handed without racking the slide? (sorry, my gun lingo is probably incorrect for you purests...)
To continue, if you haven't read it, the gun goes off, shoots thru the door, shatters the window that's rolled down in the door, scares them both. After a brief hesitation and step back Brown apparantly reconfronts Wilson again coming back for more. Wilson raises the gun, click, nothing... This time though, the struggle has his hands free, he racks it, and pulls the trigger again in the general direction and bang, goes off. Then the situation moves to outside of the vehicle.
So... Is that possible? Click, click, bang! without reracking the slide?
