Clarification from WALTHER....

When you have your pistol loaded with 1 in the chamber and the gun is on SAFE (meaning there is a hammer block holding the hammer back a fraction of an inch) there can be a discharge when the hammer travels that fraction of an inch from the blocked position when you disengage the safety.

Sounds like the hammer block (safety) is more of a sear and instead of rolling the hammer down it drops it like a rock.
