If I close the hammer the thumb safety cannot be put back on.
Aren't all 1911s like that?

It WOULD fire in that situation without the shooter pulling the trigger.
The series 80 hammer has no intercept notch like the older design, but it does have a "bump" on the hammer that catches on the sear and it slows the hammer enough to prevent full firing pin energy hitting the primer.
