Baldwin has stuck with that story. This in spite of the fact that the FBI forensics lab determined that that revolver could not have fired unless the trigger was pulled. An independent forensics lab came to the same conclusion after the FBI reached theirs. They had to actually break off either the full cock notch on the hammer, or the end of the trigger, to make it fire without pulling the trigger. The gun both received was undamaged, they broke it in testing and rebuilt it.
