Callahan checks to make sure his Smith & Wesson Model 29 was indeed empty by pulling the trigger. This isn't a recommended method though, since if it isn't empty, a nasty surprise awaits. Another note is that, in a continuity error reminiscent of the original film, Callahan pulls the trigger in double-action, despite the gun previously being cocked to single-action state by Rook.
