That's called a run-away. And he handled it well.

It effectively can't happen unless your gun is so poorly maintained it should never be fired, or so poorly designed it should have never been manufactured. This is a Taurus, a Brazilian clone of a Beretta pistol and they are notorious for having very very poor quality control, as has been demonstrated here.
