If you're carrying the gun in DA at half-cock, the hammer isn't under any mechanical tension. It also is frozen in place from being able to move forward, even if the trigger gets pulled. It has to travel backward before it can move forward again. The firing in is recessed pretty deeply in the slide, and there's no space at half-cock for a foreign object to reach it.
I think firing pin blocks are essential on striker fire guns. There's always a chance a piece of metal fails and the striker would release, since it rests under tension. Without any part under spring tension in a DA hammer fired pistol, it's almost impossible for something like that to happen, even if there was a defect in some part that failed.
Just my $.02 - but I definitely appreciate people who are at least concerned with the mechanics instead of just assuming every gun is safe.

I might need to do more research. I was so close to buying one a few months back.
Regardless, one of the sexiest pistols out there. Well done OP
