A lot of those Stevens/Savage shotguns used a "Rebounding Hammer". The hammer smacks the firing pin with centrifugal force and then springs back away from the firing pin at rest. It happens so fast you can not see it.
Try this:
With the hammer down, pull the trigger to the rear and hold it and see if you can push the hammer forward against the pin. If you can it is working normally.
You will not be able to push if forward without pulling the trigger to the rear.
If it is a break open design you can also cock the hammer with the gun open and put your finger over the chamber side of the firing pin hole and when you pull the trigger you should feel the firing pin poke against your finger.
