Here is a picture of the hammer and firing pin on my Uberti. I don't know enough about SAA clones to tell what type it is just by looking at it. It does wiggle a little. But it does not push back at all no matter what position the hammer is in.
The concave point and a little wiggle is the “smokeless” firing pin. A rigid conical firing pin is the old “black powder “ pattern. Standard Arms uses that in their deluxe SA.

I own 3rd gen Colts and US made USFAs.
The USFAs are better guns but they’re 2.5oz heavier than a Colt and the cylinder and frame are just a little different and they don’t feel like a Colt.
Love ‘em both.
The USFA is a Uberti clone.
A Cimarron Model P is a Pietta and a closer clone to a Colt than a Uberti.
I had read/heard that there was a way to directly cause a drag line, and knew that it involved lowering the hammer directly from half cock, but had never read a step-by-step DIY “tutorial” on how to do it.
When advising on SAA-pattern revolver ownership/handling, or when asked why my cylinders have no drag lines, I have always simply said “NEVER lower the hammer from any position other than full cock,” or words to that effect.
