Yes Pistols of that time were one shot through one barrel. The only way to increase capacity was to add more barrels. Multi-barrel pistols did exist but they were clumsy, and before the Colt of 1835 there was a primitive kind of revolver known as a pepperbox. The Colt had a great advantage over most pistols in life-or-death circumstances, but a British officer in the Crimean War attributed his survival to his double-action Adams revolver. He was set upon by five enemies so quickly that he claimed he could not have cocked the single-action Colt in time to save himself.
