its usually a hammer action
Actually, it means a couple of different things. The term action can refer to the internal parts that make the gun cycle, feed, and fire, or it can refer to how the handgun works.
A double action gun is a gun that has two trigger modes. The trigger is long and heavy, then the gun stays cocked and the subsequent trigger pulls are short and light.
A double action only gun is a gun that has a long heavy trigger every time.
A single action gun is a gun that must be hammer cocked before it can fire.
Whether it has a hammer or not is not directly related to what type of action it has.
