Default Re: Guns in Movies and TV shows

When the hammer is pull back and cocked, a relatively light touch on the trigger will fire the gun and is called a single action.

Normally when the hammer is not pulled back, you need to pull harder on the trigger to cock the hammer and fire the gun and is called a double action.
