Single action means the trigger only performs a single action; it drops the hammer to fire the gun. The hammer on a single action gun must be cocked before the gun can be fired.

How much for a used 40 caliber beretta hand gun?

$300-$400 depending on condition and action-type. I bought a used Beretta for $350 that is Double Action Only. It is probably not as valuable as a full Double/Single model. I really enjoy my Beretta.

What type of rifle did the Hatfield McCoy feud use?

From my understanding, Winchester lever action rifles, muzzle loading shotguns and single action revolvers were very common. Actually, there was a recent episode of "Sons of Guns" that featured a Winchester rifle (what was thought to be) a "blood gun" from the feud. Not sure of the caliber of any of them.

What action on a gun is the most accurate?

Typically, the bolt action rifle is capable of the greatest accuracy, although there are single shot rifles capable of exceptional accuracy, as well as some very good auto loading rifles. The most accurate rifle will probably have a heavy free floated barrel with a special muzzle crown, a special chamber, and a VERY precise trigger.

What is a single action gun?

Generally speaking, a single action gun is a gun that has to be cocked before it can be fired. The term "single action" comes from the fact that the trigger only has a single function; it drops the hammer to fire the gun. A good example of a single action handgun is a 1911 style or a Browning Hi-Power. Also, the old style "cowboy" revolvers are single action.

What does double action mean on a co2 bb gun?

Double action in any gun means that when you pull the trigger it both cocks and releases the hammer and fires the gun all in one motion. Single action means you have to pull back the hammer and then release the trigger in 2 different single actions. So Double Action moved two actions in one motion and Single Action means you have to do two single actions to fire the gun each time in two separate motions. Now think of a 45 auto. When you get ready to fire a real 45 auto you have to pull back the slide on the first bullet to get the bullet loaded and ready to fire. Then when you pull the trigger you fire the gun. ( This makes the first shot a Single Action movement, Two seperat things had to happen ) but after the first shot is fired the gun auto loads and cocks the gun for all subsequent shots. This makes makes it a Double Action movement, it is know as SA/DA.


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..

This is a handgun, either revolver or automatic, which requires manual cocking of the hammer to fire the gun. Examples include the Colt Single Action Army (the classic cowboy gun) for revolvers and the Model 1911 for automatics. A double action pistol will cock the hammer and fire the gun simply by pulling the trigger.
