Hammer down on a chambered round safety off in a basic 1911 could fire if dropped on the hammer.
Nope. The firing pin isn't long enough to rest on the primer in a 1911. If the hammer is down on a chambered round (not a wise idea anyway), no amount of wailing on that hammer is going to get the firing pin to ignite the primer.
