Okay.
I get the general drift of the elementary understanding of this:
On a revo, if you pull the trigger and it cocks the hammer and fires, it's double action.
If you manually pull back the hammer and fire, it's single action.
There are some other things clouding the water with semi-auto's, though.
Lots of Cowboy action shooting, old-timey revolvers are S/A. No sweat.
A 'KP97DAO' is Double Action Only; I can get my arms around that one mentally.
--what the heck is a Decocker? (sounds like something I want to stay AWAY from, a la Lorena Bobbitt! )
--Some semiautos are D/A first shot, S/A thereafter...
This SOUNDS like a GOOD thing from a safety standpoint. Is this true? Desirable? What guns employ this system?
--Some semis are S/A, then D/A...I think... WHY would you want that?
--Besides the squeeze cockers, what ELSE is there?
Sorry to have to request the Remedial class.
