and yes, thats basically what i said.. if the single action fails to fire, you either have to cock the hammer or rack the slide.. you may not be able to do thisI figured out he was talking about a second pull for a bad primer and stated later that it probably would not work, anyway. Also something I don't worry about. I think his wording threw me.
if a double action fails to fire, you can pull the trigger again and hope the second or third strike sets it off... it may not, and you will need to rack the slide, if someones on top of you, this probably wont be possible
if you have a DA revolver and it fails to go bang, pulling the trigger gets you a fresh round, much more likely to go off if one doesnt, no need to rack a slide if it dont... all entirely one handed operation
