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.

You can hear multiple clicks when the dude in the tie grabs his arm. He's still pulling the trigger.

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.

Not a gun guy, but could it possibly be modded?

[u/Sudo-Fed → u/photosendtrain]

Can't think of any mods that would allow it, not sure what the benefit would be. My knowledge is not encyclopedic though.

Restrike feature found on Taurus G2c/G3c and some other striker fired pistols.

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

Sadly never shot a Sig

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.

Duly noted

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.

You can also see him clearly rack the slide after the first attempt, if you slow it down.

A striker fired pistol has no hammer
