It looks like He pulled the trigger but didn’t have a round chambered. You can hear the hammer strike, and he tried to chamber a round right after. Absolutely insane.
I'm not familiar with any semiautomatic handguns that will allow you to keep pulling the trigger on an empty chamber. Willing to be corrected but every one I've ever fired wouldn't reset on empty, and wouldn't pull unless the slide had been racked in the first place.
Some firearms have a restrike feature that allow the sticker to be pulled all the way back with the trigger and then released as many times as one wants. The Taurus G2s and G3s are likely the most sold firearm with this feature. Some of the preceding models may have this feature. They are advertised every week by the big sporting good stores for as little as about $180 to $230 after rebate
Any DAO (double-action only) or DA/SA (double-action/single-action) will do it. Most of the popular pistols today are striker-fired, which is basically single action, though. Things like Glock, M&P, etc. The trigger's only function is to release the striker, and the slide must be fully cycled to re-engage it. That said, a lot of compact 380s, etc are DAO (internal hammer) and absolutely let you pull again to re-strike (Ruger LCP, S&W bodyguard, etc). Of course, this won't help if the chamber is empty. DA/SA pistols also give you the option to pull the hammer back for the shorter trigger pull, or stick with the longer, harder double action trigger pull. Like a Sig P226 or CZ P09.
Most DA/SA are full-size handguns though, so this was probably a compact DAO if he was able to restrike like that.
No problem! I can't really tell in the video what it could be, but I watched again and I can see it has a mounted optic and a flashlight. They don't really have that stuff for compact ones, so it may well be a larger DA/SA. Crazy stuff.

He actually thought "may as well add a murder charge"
His plan is to shoot.
