Roundball is correct.
You can cock and "fire" the set trigger over and over as long as the hammer is down.
This makes practicing your trigger release a easy thing to do.
If the hammer is at "half cock" there is a very good chanch that the nose of the sear, or the half cock notch in the tumbler will be broken.

I wonder if dry firing, using only the set triggers would have any real affect?
If you are shooting a flint gun, make a wooden "Flint" to use during your dry fire practice.
If percussion, slide a short length of heavy wall rubber hose over the nipple. The hose should protured far enough from the nipple to prevent the hammer from contacting the nipple.
