You don't understand and that's not how it works. It's the act of a hard impact that has enough inertia to cause the trigger bar to move....like you pulled the trigger (to put it simplistically). If the lower half of the trigger is not working correctly...that little tab you see behind the trigger will not be extended...if its not extended, it will not "catch" on the frame to stop the trigger bar movement when the weapon is dropped. Nothing has to touch the trigger. Understand now?
