Parker hammer guns don't have a 'half cock' position in the locks. The majority of hammer guns we see pictures of are guns with rebounding locks. This feature keeps the hammers off of the plungers, or firing pins - but the hammers can be pushed forward pretty easily, overcoming the rebound spring tension.

I meant as far as W.&C. Scotts goes , I have seen pictures where the hammers are resting on the plungers and you can really get a idea of just how tall those tall hammers are . Like that 10 ga Ospreyarms is selling the hammers are resting on the plungers .
