From this post over at The Batman Universe.
But how many of us know that the original Batman of the comic books started out using guns? As written by Bob Kane, Batman would occasionally make use of a gun to level the playing field against the criminals he faced. It wasn’t until later that the mythos of Batman was revised and he renounced the weapon that was responsible for the deaths of his mother and father.
NOTE: Image not from the Bob Kane era.

Supposedly (this is just the story I heard) Bob Kane originally intended that Batman never use guns. But when other people were working on the strip it occasionally got "off the track" and he showed up with a .45.
And apparently, based on the pic you posted, he didn't know you need to thumb the hammer back.
