Taurus 44 Magnum Double-Action Revolvers

What is a Double-Action Revolver?

There are two main kinds of revolvers: single-action and double-action revolvers.

With a single-action revolver, pulling the trigger only advances the cylinder (ergo, "single" action). You have to pull the hammer back before every shot. While this makes for a more accurate gun, it doesn't shoot very fast.

With a double-action gun, pulling the trigger advances the cylinder and pulls the hammer back. All you need to do is pull the trigger until you run out of bullets. While this makes follow-up shots easy, the trigger pull weight is extremely heavy. The effort to shoot can be enough to destabilize your gun and make it less accurate. Double-action revolvers are better in close-quarters engagement, where speed is more important than accuracy.
