What is a double action revolver?
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.

What is single action and double action presses?
Single action (SA) A single-action trigger, sometimes single-action only, performs the single action of releasing the hammer or striker to discharge the firearm each time the trigger is pulled. Almost all rifles and shotguns use this type of trigger. Single-action semi-automatic pistols require that the hammer be cocked before the first round is fired. Once the first round is fired the automatic movement of the slide cocks the hammer for each subsequent shot. The pistol, once cocked, can be fired by pulling the trigger once for each shot until the magazine is empty. The M1911 is a single-action pistol that functions in this manner. Double action (DA) Invented by Robert Adams, a double-action trigger performs two functions when pulling the trigger, first cocking the hammer then releasing it to discharge the firearm. When this term is applied to revolvers, the trigger also rotates the cylinder. Though this is technically a third action, it is correct to refer to the mechanism as double-action. Most pistols and revolvers with a double-action trigger mechanism retain the single action functionality: See the Double action/Single action (DA/SA) description below.
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..

Does the Smith and Wesson auto function in double action only mode?
Specifically no. Most Smith & Wesson pistol models are both double and single action, meaning that they may be cocked for single action and also operated by trigger pull alone in double action. However some Smith & Wesson automatic pistols are double action only (DAO) and are designed for double action alone. These pistols may not be cocked and are operated by a long trigger pull.
