what you seem to have is "rebounding Hammers"
This invention prevents the hammer from sitting directly on the firing pin/striker which not only gives some additional safety but make the gun easier to open since there is no drag of the pin on the cartridge.

When cocked if the hammer dropes it will go bang. I think if hammer is down and you drop it on the hammer it won't fire not 100% sure on that statment. The SA Colt been told you carried it on a empty chamber in case you droped it on the hammer. Bean a gun guy 4 28 minutes so reader b ware. I would think your mighty 8 would have rebounding hammers????

i will check again on the 8 gauge to see if it does have the rebounding hammers...... for sure the 1875 lifter has them...the 1875 lifter is about as close to new in the hammer department as parker made it...the finish is good but not like new... i suppose if gun were to be dropped directly on the hammer on a hard service it might break the safety device...but if it was soft dirt or something similar i dont believe it would go off...seems to me parker also built these hammer guns with safety in mind... charlie
