The main spring (hammer spring) pushes on the hammer at all times, trying to force the hammer to the at-rest position.
It is the sear which catches on the single action notch (to allow single action firing) and the half cock notch in the event of an inadvertent hammer fall.
The sear release lever (if properly fitted) pushes the sear clear of the both the single action notch
and the half cock notch on the hammer to facilitate de-cocking.
