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.
