That's what Ambrose said but if there is different or better information on the incident that would be interesting to know.
Wikipedia sez it was an FN 1900. But they also say the FN has no safety. And it does.



Even those who were there were not not very sure, their testimony vary.

The only sure thing is that he unfortunately managed to shot himself dead.
