What is the difference between a single action pistol and a double action?

A single action pisstol, such as the Colt 1911, requires that the hammer be manually cocked before firing the first shot. Double action pistols, such as the P38, do not- pulling the trigger will cause the hammer to rise and fall, without being manually cocked. This also applies to single action revolvers, such as the Colt Peacemaker, and the double action S&W Model 66 Combat Masterpiece.

Did colt have a 3220 knee action police double action revover?

Colt did not produce a model specifically designated as the "3220 knee action police double action revolver." However, Colt is well-known for its double-action revolvers, including the Colt Detective Special and the Colt Python. If you're referring to a specific model or feature, it might be a misinterpretation of another Colt revolver or an entirely different manufacturer.


What is a single-action pistol?

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.
