It should do, the transfer bar is simply a piece of metal that is linked directly to the trigger. When you pull the trigger the transfer bar slide upwards behind the firing pin (if it wasn't there the hammer wouldn't reach the firing pin hence wouldn't fire), assuming you continue to hold the trigger all the way back the transfer bar would stay in the firing position. There is no disconnect or anything like that that means it goes back to the safe position after firing and the trigger needs to be reset to get it back to the firing position.
