Not to be overly minute here,but in order to depress the trigger while holding the hammer you have to get a good grip on the pistol,then you want
the man to push a punch into the firing pin and test the action thereof.
Do yo do this yourself?
Field strip the pistol and visually inspect all the moving parts for damage here
is when the firing pin travel can be checked for proper function.
