So if I understand correctly, as long as the hammer is in the rebounded position, any accidental impact on the hammer won't result in an accidental discharge...that's quite a clever design.

If while in the middle of cocking one of the hammers, it should accidentally slip, is it still blocked from striking the firing pin or plunger? I assume so as long as the trigger is not depressed?
