That's what I thought the only plausible explanation was a hangfire as the trigger can't be pulled when a cartridge is out of battery, the bulged case is proof that the cartridge was not completely in the chamber."
Yes, you're correct. The trigger on a Tokarev cannot release the hammer until the action is completely forward and the locking lugs engaged. If this occurred, the cartridge would be fully chambered.
So, you believe it was a hangfire, meaning something had to detonate the primer of the cartridge.
How do you suppose that happened?
