Paul, this is both a Single Action (thumb the hammer - fire) and Double Action (just pull the trigger). Double Action pulls are heavier and Single Action pulls are lighter. If this revolver was hammer less, it would be a double action only.

Single action triggers only perform one action, they drop the hammer. Double action triggers perform two actions, they pull the hammer back and drop the hammer. Single actions good for target practice cause the triggers nice and light, since it's only performing one action. Double action triggers are good for defense when you don't have time to manually pull the hammer back, but the downsides a long heavy trigger cause it has all the pressure trying to pull the hammer back. Hope this helps.

The double action pull on this revolver is longer and heavier (around 10 pounds) the single action pull is shorter and lighter (5 pounds) Double action is safer for on body carry because it requires more and heavier trigger travel, but single action is better for precision shots due to the shorter lighter pull. Double Action is double because it both clocks the hammer and releases it, single action trigger pull is from an already cocked position, so all it does is release the hammer.

I guess I'm not allowed to answer this question. Been trying for over an hour & my responses don't show up.
