I assume your single action is pre-war ? If so, then made about 1907. As to the caliber, check markings on barrel. that should give the caliber.......
Impossible to answer without more details. Is it a rifle, handgun or shotgun? What caliber/gauge? What type of action, bolt, semi-auto, single shot, side by side, over/under?

You have to state whether it is a handgun, rifle, or shotgun and then whether it is a bolt action, semi-automatic, single action, double action or pump action.
It depends on the caliber and your ability to shoot it.
Herter's was an importer, not a manufacturer. No published sn data on what they imported.
.40 S&W caliber, semi-auto.The number 4066 stands for caliber (40)40S&W,the third digit(6) stands for nonstandard barrel length,the fourth number(6) stands for stainless steel frame and slide.You may have a single action or double action only third generation S&W semi-auto handgun.
Bolt action, single shot or semi-auto?
There is no one single best caliber, but to get an answer, you need to be a little more specific. Rifle or handgun? Define long distance. 50 yards? 100 yards? 1000 yards?
Generally speaking, a single action gun is a gun that has to be cocked before it can be fired. The term "single action" comes from the fact that the trigger only has a single function; it drops the hammer to fire the gun. A good example of a single action handgun is a 1911 style or a Browning Hi-Power. Also, the old style "cowboy" revolvers are single action.
Never heard of it. Are you talking about a Single Action Army?
