It's called "Jackie Chan style" after he did it in the movie Rush Hour.

Terry Kath, guitarist for the band Chicago, accidentally shot himself in the head with a 9mm semi-automatic. He'd been joking around with people at a party, putting an unloaded revolver to his head and pulling the trigger. He then picked up the 9mm and removed the magazine, said, "Don't worry, it's not loaded," and put the gun to his head and pulled the trigger. Of course, there was a chambered round...
One of the funniest things I ever saw was on the Rifleman show. I was watching it a few weeks ago and Lucas McCain was pinned down behind a big rock with the bad guy above him up on a rocky bluff. The bad guy (If I recall was played by Vic Morrow) had stolen Lucas' rifle and all Lucas had was a handgun he had gotten off another bad guy with no reloads. The premise of the scene was the bad guy was out of range of the Peacemaker and as Lucas squeezed off one shot then another the bad guy kept mocking him and climbing higher and soon he would be high enough so the rock would no longer protect Lucas McCain.
As the bad guy climbed higher he got more out of range of the Peacemaker. Soon Lucas was down to his last shot with no more cartridges. He picks up an old board and wedges the grips of the handgun into the front of the board. He then pokes a twig into a knothole on the rear of the board. After sighting down the board once he breaks the twig in half and carefully sights down the board, using the twig as a rear sight and reaches forward and pulls the trigger. Of course he gut shoots the bad guy, winning the day. It seemed a little ridiculous to me but maybe someone here could explain to me how that would work.
It was then I noticed that his weak hand thumb was wrapped over the back of his strong hand.
