So how exactly does a single action revolver fire? I know, apparently you don't.
_SOMETHING_ has to strike the primer.
They don't just go off at random.
Did he pull the hammer most of the way and let go? That would qualify as "not pulling the trigger".
Did he strike the hammer with his palm and push it into primer? Because while it's true guns could go off before the blocking mechanisms were added, this was due to something striking the hammer. I.E. the gun was dropped and the hammer hit the ground and pushed into the primer.
