It seems that the main question is, since this thing is generally carried in the pocket with a round in the chamber and fully cocked, what, besides the hammer-sear engagement keeps it from possibly discharging and injuring someone nearby, or emasculating you, or blowing a hole in the femoral artery, in the event the hammer-sear engagement fails?
I repeat, why is there no firing pin block or hammer block? If the hammer falls from full cock, for any reason, metal fatigue, wear, shoddy assembly, out of tolerance parts … anything, things are going to go badly for somebody.
Nothing is foolproof but the odds favor the addition of something to stop a firing pin-primer contact unless the trigger is pulled.
