How so? Doesn’t appear the trigger was pulled. Slide was back at time of round going off. At least from what I can see in the video
Short answer from someone else who knows 1911/2011 pistols:
Round pointed up hits disconnector, grip safety depressed or pinned. Disconnector tripped sear causing pistol to fire.
Improperly fitted disconnector sticking into magwell and a 2# trigger.
I agree. Gun with a 2 pound trigger (it was probably even lighter than that) will speak up when bumped. The pistol is pointed upwards, gravity and inertia working together. Try setting a ready to shoot target rifle with a 2lb trigger butt down on the floor without touching off a round. Better keep your face clear and get out the putty to fill the hole in the ceiling.
As far as the loose bullet contacting gun parts inside the magwell on a closed slide... I think the gun stood a better chance of discharging from the errant bullet striking the primer of the round in the tube and causing the discharge...which didn’t happen either but could be easier to disprove upon inspecting the primer of the empty.
Also, race guns being what they are, that trigger and disconnect, riding on the very edge of the sear can be like a half tripped mousetrap. Step on the floor beside it and pow. It’s very possible that if you’d used a trigger pull gauge at that very moment on the guy’s gun that you’d have gotten a result less than intended for the gun.
Lastly, if by some extreme measure of chance the gun is set up to allow access to any of the fire control parts via the magwell the shooter needs to start over.
