The trigger was modified by Bill Springfield?
The trigger was modified by Bill Springfield for a 4lb pull. When doing as you instructed it will hold on the disconnector then transfer to being held back by the trigger.

The contact I referred to is between the disconnector shelf on the hammer and the disconnector hook and it occurs when I cock the hammer and after the hammer catches the trigger I keep pressing down on the hammer.

Take a look at this video. I cock the hammer and then try to show you the clicking that occurs (or overlap as bill calls it) then do the function check.
