You should have 3 clicks. Safety, half cock and full cock.
Hope This Helps

The hammer locks in two positions, but you'll hear three "clicks" as the hammer is moved from the "fired" position, to the ready to fire or full cock position. The first (half cock) positon allows the bolt to drop out of the cylinder notch. Pulling the hammer back more will cause another "click" as the bolt springs back against the cylinder to enter the next notch as the hand rotates the cylinder. At this point the hammer can be lowered back into the "half cock" position. Pulling the hammer all the way back will cause another click as the trigger sear enters the final full cock notch in the hammer. Two hammer positions, three clicks.
