Did you do all this with the slide on? And if so, did the thumb safety fill the notch in the slide when in the "Safe" position? And was there any interference between the slide and safety when engaging the safety?
I am assuming that when you say "The hammer did not move when disengaging the safety" that you mean there was no uncommanded movement, but when you pulled the trigger, the hammer fell normally.

Sounds like you're ready for a range test now. Best advice is 2 rounds only testing to make sure all is correct. Then 5 rounds only, then full test. Let us know how it works.

gyp_c has a valid point. Anytime repairs or modifications are done to a semi-auto pistol, and it's time to test fire, never use a full mag. If it decides to go full auto, a full mag can be fatal for someone, including the shooter. If you decide to go single round for your first, and it works OK, it's still not proven safe for a full mag. A gradual progression to a full mag is the best, and safest way to go. Judging from 10mmman's posts, he understands the concerns thoroughly.
nuff said I guess.

PS: Never top load a chamber round. Very bad for the extractor.

Here Here Gyp_C. You're 100% right. No one ever erred when doing the safe thing.
