I still have that little theory in my head that the demon can control Sam to a certain extent in his actions, like, you know, a tiny devil-voice in the back of your head you argue with? I dunno, I'll have to watch the eps again to confirm it, but some of Sam's actions sure seem a little OOC for him. But maybe that's just bad writing *laughs*
Still, speaking from that theory angle, I'd say the demon would step in every time Sam even considers killing himself, whispering to him that he can't. Just assuming the demon needs Sam for something alive. :)
On the other hand, your explanation is probably the more realistic one, though I dunno if it is actually what the writers were thinking about when they wrote this episode :D It's at least a lot more logical than anything else I've heard as an explanation to why Sam doesn't simply shoot himself.
