You should be Ok unless someone has just removed the parts, but I doubt that.
First
(un-loaded of course). When you let the hammer down (slowly) from full cock and let your finger off the trigger, the firing pin should not protrude thought the frame. This is the way you de-cock your pistol.
Then look with a flashlight inside past the hammer when in full cock and doing this same process. With your finger off the trigger after initial release you should actually see the hammer block move into position.
Then actually let the hammer go down with your finger staying on the trigger. First the firing pin will protrude, but when you let off the trigger it should return (rebound) into the housing.
You can also remove the side plate and see the block. Not a hard job, but I guess if you don't feel comfortable then have a gun smith check.
Just my personal procedure. You can also find descriptions on the net on how to do the same checks.
