When was it?
Who made it and in what calibers?
What other manufacturers joined in and quickly made the first few models of Double Action?
How big a "sensation" was it?
Did the reviewers and buying public love it, or hate it at first and prefer their trusty old single actions?
Were single actions always called single actions or did they start using the terms "single action" and "double action" just to tell them apart?
This is for research for a story set around the turn of the century where a detective buys a "new fangled double action revolver" which really surprises the bad guys at first.
