Jeff2131, you are correct. I was writing in the context of the OP perhaps thinking the tiny dent meant the hammer fell on a dead primer, but I left out too much.

It's my understanding that the extended unlocked bolt and carrier are longer then the firing pin, so the firing pin cannot possibly contact the primer until it is collapsed and the bolt is locked.
