the thing is when i test the hammer assy without the grip safety, everything seems normal. BUT when i attach the grip safety and slide lock. the hammer stops at half decock everytime i pull the trigger.
i never experience this kind of problem before, can anybody tell my what is causing this?

Remove the half-cock pin, and all your problems will go away. The 1911's pin is in a different location than the Hi-Capa, causing the hammer to only drop half way if you install the pin.
Unfortunately, it's cheaper to just manufacture one style of hammer en masse, and Hi-Capa does make up the majority, so the hammer was engineered with the Hi-Capa crowd in mind. On the upside, the pin in the ProG4 / ILLusion Kinetics / Airsoft Surgeon hammers is removable to deactivate the half cock feature. Remove it.
