Trigger reset test

Is this a valid test? I read someone's post suggesting that light strikes were due to inproper trigger control - doesn't seem likely if this is a valid test:

Unload the gun.
check to make sure
check again
rack the slide and release - it is now half-cocked
check the loaded chamber window- still empty ?
Pull the trigger - dry fire - and hold it back
Rack the slide and release
check the loaded chamber window - still empty?
S-l-o-w-l-y release the trigger; stop when you hear/feel the first click
Can you now pull the trigger and cause hammer mption? (not on my post recall 370-42xxx
probably not a good idea to pull very hard ... I feel a little give, but no hammer movement)
slowly release the trigger to the second click.
Now you can pull and the hammer will move, right?

Before recall work mine would lite strike on the first click of the trigger. Now it won't move

I guess y'all agree then - the action I described would not result in a light strike.

So what did/might cause the two light strikes I experienced on the first box of wolf ammo?

You probably didn't realize it at the time and only let up enough on the trigger after firing that it was only to the first click. As I said earlier that's the only time I experienced a light stike
