What is a main difference between a single action revolver and a double action revolver?
The main difference between a single action revolver and a double action revolver lies in the mechanism of firing. In a single action revolver, the shooter must manually cock the hammer before each shot, which also rotates the cylinder to align the next round. In contrast, a double action revolver allows the shooter to either pull the trigger to both cock the hammer and release it, or manually cock the hammer for a lighter trigger pull. This makes double action revolvers generally faster to fire in succession.

What is the main difference between a single action revolver in a double action revolver?
The main difference between a single action (SA) and a double action (DA) revolver lies in how the trigger operates. In a single action revolver, the trigger only releases the hammer after it has been manually cocked, requiring two distinct actions to fire. In contrast, a double action revolver can both cock and release the hammer with a single pull of the trigger, allowing for quicker shooting without the need to manually cock the gun each time. This difference affects the speed and ease of firing in various situations.

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.
