Speaking of suppressors, again...

A friend's 9mm just discharged accidentally: the half-cock notch on the hammer failed. No damage to anything from the bullet, but plenty to his ear from muzzle blast.

(When we talk about half-cocks I think 1911s...)

I thought the half-cock position was supposed to have little enough energy that it wouldn't fire a round? Otherwise what is the difference between it and full cock other than not being able to pull the trigger? Is that it? Just a condition two with an easier pull to condition one (or zero, then one, actually)?

Or was it in condition one and both the sear and the half-cock failed?

Cheers,
Tom B

Half cock is just a safety margin. It does nothing but try to keep the face of the hammer from resting on the firing pin. (or, hopefully catching the hammer if it somehow slips off the primary sear interface)

IANAL but something worth noting on the upper left there is that friendly grey for Washington really is only for "Ownership". Actually -using- a suppressor in my state is a misdemeanor. For each shot fired.
