Do I have this right:

Hammer at half cock - if you try to force the hammer down by pressing on it, it will not move

Hammer at full cock - if you try to force the hammer down by pressing on it, it falls all the way down

Are you pulling the trigger?

The hammer should not fall when it's at half cock whether you press on the hammer or pull the trigger.

At full cock the hammer should only fall if the trigger is pulled. If hand pressure applied to the hammer in full cock results in the hammer falling it is likely because the sear is not fully engaged in the notch.

There is (or should be) a small screw just above the notch. This screw controls the depth of engagement of the sear. Turning the screw clockwise increases the depth of engagement of the sear. That should solve your problem.
