These were great guns, When Illinois let us conceal carry I actually considered a BDM because it is so slim until I found out you couldn't get mags. In the early 90s my buddy bought one new & I shot it a lot. I wouldn't have used it like this, but in revolver mode it works exactly like a double action revolver, pull the trigger you get a double action pull, you can thumb cock the hammer for a single action pull if you want. He blew up the barrel after a reloading mistake (Browning wouldn't touch it after they heard he was shooting reloads) & I got it apart & rebuilt it then I bought him a new one for a wedding present.
I own one of these. I enjoy the pistol. Thanks for the video and history
Keep up the good work👌

The reason the slide wouldn't lock back is because the slide lock is disabled when the thumb safety is on, just like the hammer
Exactly right.
