Is that a Sig-Saur or a BHP?

And where he covers the principal and gives one aimed shot from a solid 2 handed stance...then stands upright and shoots from the hip while covering the principal and walking backwards.....what was that? He holds the pistol with the right hand but uses the left to pull the trigger in an almost bump-fire type of technique.

Is he standing up to try to cover as much of his principal as possible while retreating, or what?

I have seen shooting from the hip done that way to prevent disarms in CQB but using the opposite hand for the trigger seams weird here.

They are doing it for a reason. Any body know what that reason is?

Looks like a Sig (or else a knockoff), and yes, the last part is to provide
'cover fire' while retreating......
 
Zastava CZ-99. Dangertree, a dealer here, sells them.

PS
I didn't understand the audio portion, but I believe the deal with working the pistol with the opposite trigger finger was to avoid shooting oneself because the pistol is so far back and it would be hard not to 'sweep' the non-dominant
upper limb while doing the 'backward quickstep'!
 
neat it has a slide lock lever on the right hand side it looks like?
as for using that finger it basically allows for you to bump fire it, the recoil of the pistol throws it back and forth against your finger creating machine pistol of sorts. Silly tactic if you ask me.
 
Silly tactic maybe (when it comes to accuracy) but it'll more than likely get some heads down and allow a few seconds to evac.

Personally it's not my style, but I can see how one MIGHT find it useful under extreme CQB circumstances.

....Considering a pistols limited magazine capacity, just shooting, more or less, indiscriminately, seems a waste of ammunition that maybe be needed as aimed fire, when a vehicle or safety is reached. Time and concentration is lost in the reload process, as is target acquisition. Aimed fire, and scanning for threats would seem to be the more prudent tactic. .... David K.

hmm I think I confused the slide lock lever with the decocker? if so where is the slide lock lever?
I would think that firing from retention with one hand, while using the other hand to do other stuff would be more practical than bump firing a pistol to keep someones head down. If they are doing VIP protection give them a subgun for the fast stuff. just seems like one of those tactics someone has invented to give themselves a job teaching it. Kind of like the guy who taught the IDF undercover operators to carry an unloaded gun and rack it when bringing it into play.
