Sorry, I don't believe the gun/key story. What's the chance of the gun switching the key to off in the first place, pretty small I would say. In all the 22 & 44's I've flown the switch takes a definite twist and just knocking the key is highly unlikely to move it 3 positions! And then to cap it all the switch also has to be faulty!
I don't buy it, has all the hallmarks of a tale cooked-up after the event to spare the blushes of the pilot.
Edit to say, and keep the insurance company happy.
