The grip safety blocks rearward trigger travel regardless of hammer position,
the reason why the hammer won't fall in half cock when the grip safety is
depressed is because the sear is trapped in the hook and can not rotate when
force is applied by the trigger.The half cock hook is so designed to arrest and
hold the hammer in the event of an unintended release.
