Not at all! He knew it was wrong when he was doing it but he wasn't really comfortable with the weapon he was issued in terms of it's well known lack of stopping power. I mean, literally it was about the same or worse than the .38's that failed in the Phillipines that lead to the adoption of the 1911. Those 130 grain FMJ's are a piss poor load and anyone that knows anything about firearms/ballistics won't really argue the point.
