What is the Difference between a Double Action and a Single Action Pistol?
A typical single action pistol or revolver requires that the hammer be manually cocked. In the case of an autoloading pistol, such as the 1911AI .45, the hammer must be cocked before firing the first shot. With a single action revolver, such as the Colt Peacemaker, the hammer must be cocked before each shot. A double action handgun does not require manual cocking of the hammer- you pull the trigger, and the hammer rises and falls. An example would be the Smith & Wesson Model 10 .38 Special. The hammer may ALSO be cocked manually before a shot. Some handguns are DAO- double Action Only- the hammer may not be cocked manually- they are fired by pulling the trigger, which will cause the hammer to rise and fall.

What is the difference between the 3576w airsoft pistol in single action and double action or is it a setting on the gun?
If you are asking about the Crosman 3756. Single action is, you pull the trigger and Hammer pulls back and fires. All in one action. OR in double action you pull the hammer back and then pull the trigger to fire the gun. The gun can be fired either way single or double. Target shooters like to use the gun in double action, this removes some of the pressure on the trigger by pulling the hammer back manually, its easier to release the hammer with the trigger already cocked. You can get a better aim in this way. Pulling the trigger in single action causes you pull down with the gun and off your target..
What is the difference between single and double action automatic pistol?
For the first shot, a single action auto, like the 1911A1 .45 auto, must have the hammer cocked manually. A double action auto, like the P38 can be fired by pulling the trigger without cocking the hammer. Trigger pull alone causes hammer to rise and fall.
