In double action in your scenario, if the trigger is pulled fully to the rear, it will complete it's course after bypassing sear in the the hammer. Consequently, this rearward movement of the trigger removes the rebound slide from under the hammer, just like it would if there was no malfunction. The gun should work normally if cocked single action. If the DA sear is out of service, as in this case, DA will not function correctly.

Ok I think I've got it now. Its almost positively the sear not resetting then correct? The sear is staying behind the tail on the trigger instead of slipping on to the top surface and when this happens its actually camming the hammer forwards instead of back.
