The Bulldog
Early revolvers were single action- you had to cock the hammer manually, then pull the trigger. An example would be the Colt Peacemaker. A double action revolver (such as a S&W 357 magnum- Mdl 66) can be fired by pulling the trigger. Trigger pull, by itself, will cause the hammer to rise and fall. OR- the hammer may be cocked, and then the trigger pulled. A "DAO" or double action only, the hammer cannot be cocked, and the gun must be fired by pulling the trigger.

Barrel, Trigger, Trigger guard, hammer/striker, front sight, rear sight, chamber/cylinder, frame, grip.
DAO = Double Action Only. Pulling the trigger cocks the hammer (striker) until the trigger breaks and the hammer (or striker) hits the firing pin. A striker is like an internal hammer.
