Single action, double action, double action only. There have been automatic revolvers (the Webley-Fosberry) There have been ball-and-cap revolvers, and even one flintlock revolver (did not work well) There have been tip up revolvers, top break revolvers, and swing-out cylinder revolvers. There was one revolver made to shoot triangular bullets, and some to shoot shotgun shells. There have been revolvers with 2, 3, or MANY barrels. There have been 4 shot, 5 shot, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12- or more- shot revolvers. There were revolvers that loaded from the front, the bottom, and the rear. All in all, there are probably several HUNDRED different types of revolvers.

How many types of hand guns are there?

Hundreds. They are generally separated into revolvers and pistols (anything not a revolver) But then it becomes complex. There are different types of revolvers, such as single action, double action, top break, tip up, swing out cylinder, etc. There are single shot pistols that are top break, and bolt action. There are double and single action pistols, and even fully automatic (machine pistols). There are shotgun pistols, small caliber pistols, ones that will fit in a vest pocket, and some that have scopes and a bipod. There are antique black powder pistols and revolvers, and pistols with frames made of plastic type polymers. The study of firearms is a VERY broad subject.

Also, larger machine shops also made the break open revolvers and put the name of the firearm dealer on the weapon......so, many different dealers sold their revolvers under their brand name even though the revolvers were made in mass by large machine shops............................
