Single Action

What is Single Action?

1.

"Single action" means that the act of pulling the trigger only performs one function: releasing the hammer or striker, which strikes the firing pin or lever against the shell casing.

You'd have to cock the hammer of a revolver, or pull and cock the slide of a semiauto pistol for the trigger to function as single action.

Guns which cock and fire with one pull of the trigger are called double action.

"Who keep the fully-auto verses single action ideal?

Yeah, Hiero - oh they straight, culture merchants we kill"

- Opio, Heiroglyphics, "Mind, Body and Soul"

See action, double action, rifle, pistol
