single action
A trigger is a mechanism that actuates the function of a ranged weapon such as a firearm, airgun, crossbow, or speargun. The word may also be used to describe a switch that initiates the operation of other non-shooting devices such as a trap, a power tool or a quick release. A small amount of energy applied to the trigger leads to the release of much more energy.
Most triggers use a small flattened lever (called the trigger blade) depressed by the index finger, but some weapons such as the M2 Browning machine gun or the Iron Horse TOR ("thumb-operated receiver") use a push-button-like thumb-actuated trigger design, and others like the Springfield Armory M6 Scout use a squeeze-bar trigger similar to the "ticklers" on medieval European crossbows. Although the word "trigger" technically implies the entire mechanism (known as the trigger group), colloquially it is usually used to refer specifically to the trigger blade.
Most firearm triggers are "single-action", meaning that the trigger is designed only for the single function of disengaging the sear, which allows for a spring-tensioned hammer/striker to be released. In "double-action" firearm designs, the trigger also perform the additional function of cocking the hammer – and there are many designs where the trigger is used for a range of other functions.

A "new model" Ruger Vaquero .357mag/38sp revolver. It is a single action only. Blued with a 5.5" barrel. Less than 300 rounds through it. It is in excellent condition. I thought I might get into cowboy action shooting, but it doesn't look like I will for some time. It's a...

Spotted this at Pinto's- a Hawes Firearms Co. Western Marshal in .45 Colt with a .45 ACP cylinder, made by J.P.Sauer and Sohn in 'Western Germany.' Good condition, sweet action, excellent trigger. Price? $225. Shut up and Take My Money!
These guns were made in the 1950s through the 1970s and...
This West German gun shoots well regardless its weathered appearance. These were inexpensive when new and the main reason for that is the frame is made of a zinc alloy. That's not corrosion under the finish, just a rough casting. The barrel, cylinder, hammer and internals are all steel...
Hey all, I am looking for a cheap plinker to play around with. I have had my eyes on the Heritage Rough Rider .22 in the 4.25in barrel but no one is getting the short configuration in any more it seems. I am looking for one or a similar single action revolver in a similar price range. Thanks for...

ARMSLIST - For Sale: ASM Italy, SAA 44-40 and 44 special/ New Dakota Model
Shot about 40 rounds through my .45 Colt this weekend, shooting lead semi wad cutters. Took it apart to clean it tonight and noticed what looks like a streak of lead but in an unusual spot. It is around the hole for the pin and only on the right side. How is this possible?
