double action
Double action (or double-action) refers to one of two systems in firearms where the trigger both cocks and releases the hammer.
Double-action only (DAO) firearms trigger: The trigger both cocks and releases the hammer. There is no single-action function and the hammer will return to its decocked position after each shot.
Double Action Kellerman (DAK): A varant of traditional double-action used on certain SIG Sauer semi-automatic pistols. DAK triggers have a long stroke with 29 N (6.5 lbf) pull. However, if a user shooting under stress short-strokes the trigger by only releasing it halfway, the trigger will reset, but with a 38 N (8.5 lbf) pull. This temporary increased trigger pull is intended to prevent negligent discharges.
Traditional double-action – or double-action/single-action (DA/SA) – firearms trigger: The trigger combines the features of both a double-action only and a single-action only trigger.
With a revolver using this action, the hammer can be cocked first (single action), or the trigger can be pulled and it will cock and release the hammer (double action). Once the gun has fired, the hammer stays in the decocked position until the hammer is re-cocked (single action), or the trigger is pulled again (double action).
With a semi-automatic pistol using this action, the initial trigger pull will cock and release the hammer (double action). The firing mechanism automatically re-cocks the hammer after the gun is fired, such that each subsequent shot only requires the hammer to be released (single action). A decocker, if present on the pistol, can be used to return the hammer to its decocked position to prevent negligent discharges.
I’ve owned this gun for several years and it’s time to let someone else enjoy it. It is, as the title says, a S&W .38 Double Action 3rd Model. The serial number range of this model is all before 1895, making it an antique.
The revolver is nickel plated and has a good bit of wear (as expected...
I want to get a Beretta. deciding between the US-made commercial M9, or a 92FS made in Italy.
It was almost an easy win for the 92fs, since I have been told the build quality is a lot better especially the italian made ones.
however what about the sights? The 92fs has the typical 3-dot, while...
Model 60 Smith. Threaded knurl extractor pin impossible to reasonably loosen. Soaked with appropriate oil-solvents. Don't want to bend or break or damaged exposed end. Extractor doesn't slide smoothly. Open to suggestions.
I got very interested in automatic knives and bought 2 recently. As fun as they are, they seem novelty to me and I’ve lost interest in them. This knife is the large FS-X Cobratec in black. It has basically sat on my night stand since I bought it. Comes with carrying pouch, case, disassembly...

Regretfully selling this one. Bought this sweet P220 to replace my P320 45 and it turns out that after shooting both I just like my P320 more, even though this one is a lot cooler ;). It is Sig's "Carry" size, which doesn't seem to be too common in the 220s. 3.9" barrel, DA/SA, night sights...
Boy am I just a bad shot with one.
I own a few, and I for the life of me can’t shoot them worth a damn in double action.
I usually bring my Ruger SP101 with me on trips (vacation and or camping), it’s stainless, doesn‘t require magazines, and can be loaded with stout 357 loads. So I figured...
