What isThe difference between single and double action pistols?

Single action revolver requires that you cock the hammer with your thumb prior to pulling the trigger to fire (think any old western with John Wayne).

Double action revolver requires only that you pull the trigger - the long trigger pull cocks the hammer and drops it when the sear trips but reduces accuracy (think any Hawaii 5-O episode when McGarrett is firing his pistol).

There are single action auto loading pistols and double action only auto loading pistols AND double/ single action auto loading pistols too.

Three examples in respective order are: Colt model 1911 (just about any John Wayne WWII movie) Beretta Cougar DAO (sorry no movie) and Beretta 92 (Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon and our current standard US Military sidearm).
