Poor muzzle control No,its not pointed at her head, but its not downrange, either.
Also, that's not the best place to clear a jam or reload. He should have the pistol in retention (pulled in tight to the body) to perform an FTF drill or reload. Having your hands that far out puts you in position to have the pistol wrested from your control, and you can't use it effectively as a weapon that far from your body.
