HST: No Bullet Cycled into Firing Chamber

From a Rocky Mountain News article (3/2/05):

A soft-sided gun case was found at Hunter Thompson's feet along with a spent shell casing and a semiautomatic Smith & Wesson model 645 handgun, Ryan's report said. The gun's magazine had six bullets left in the clip, but no bullet was found in the gun's firing chamber, Ryan said. "I think a bullet from the magazine should have cycled into the chamber, but if there's a malfunction, they may not," DiSalvo said. DiSalvo said he hadn't checked the gun, but the weapon could have been on a manual cycle that would have stopped the other bullets from going into the chamber. (LINK)

WhatReallyHappened.com comments on the above: For you "Miami Vice" fans, the model 645 is the gun Don Johnson used in the final season of the show. There is no "Manual cycle" to keep the autoloader from operating when the gun is fired. The only slide lock on the gun is used to lock the slide in the open (unfiring) position to facilitate inserting a new magazine.

But now, with Bush in office and a sex scandal breaking that threatens to “out” Bush, Rove, and others as gay, Drudge is curiously silent …
