So... Could Baldwins lawyers argue the gun was faulty?
- If they got three armourers/gunsmiths to check the condition of the pistol would they all agree on it's serviceability?

As they have the weapon he'd be hard pressed to if it operates as it should.... he also cocked the piece with his thumb after drawing it from a holster and pointed it at the victims. You only cock a SA Colt if you intend to fire it...it is never carried or re holstered in that manner, and, as you know there is no safety once cocked.
From what I gather here, and from the vids with an armorer speaking:
Baldwin did not receive the weapon from the armorer (sop) as is the safety/union rules,
The armorer was not directly present when an actor was handling a firearm as per SOP safety/union rules.
Baldwin was the producer/ man in charge of the set.
I cannot see a way that he just say's 'sorry, my bad'.... and walks away.
