I would think it is the powder, or powder residue. Not so different than a bomb dog or a drug dog. They have an amazing ability to smell.
For sure. But for the sake of argument, if you had a pistol you had not fired (I know, pistols are fired before they leave the factory, but then they are cleaned very well) do you think a well trained dog would sniff out your concealed weapon? A bomb dog finding a single bullet is amazing!!
