That feller was wearing a slicker over his rig and when he pulled off the slicker it caught the hammer and pulled it back just enough to make it go bang when it released it.
I would bet that he did not have the hammer set to the first click. And the slicker only pulled the hammer enough not to go to the first click. I may be wrong but I believe once a FA has been set to the first click that the only way to remove the hammer block is to depress the trigger. If that is not the case it should be and I would say the model 83 is a poor design since the hammer block serves no function. If I was shopping for a larger than 45 colt revolver I would steer clear of a FA. Give me a custom Ruger or a BFR.
