Hand cannon fun in the backyard

[Vaquero]

Yep, right here in the yard.
Got the Black Hawk in 41 and the 45 Vaquero that I put the bird's head grip on and am ringing the gongs.
Round about 25 yds just an estimate not exact.
Stepped back to the deck a min, going to repaint 'em.

On my way out to paint and of course take a pic
Stop off the litter patio with 41 so 40ish yds. shooting at the 8" one handed I hit it first shot
Miss, hit but I you'll see.

I feel sorry for the gongs.

While I was shooting I heard two others doing the same thing.

Actually drug out another single action and put a few mags through it.

Because with the hammer down,
you have to pull the hammer back just like a single action revolver before the pistol is ready.

I have a little striker pistol (Browning 1910) that has to be pulled back/cocked to fire is that consider a single action?

No hammer. Can't un-cock it so maybe no?

Never thought of it that way in the context of a semiauto.

Yes, even though it cocks it's self after the first shot yes.
Because of the hammer down situation, as the way it was explained to me many years ago.
I have Ruger P90 that is built on the 1911 design, but with the hammer down I can pull the trigger and it will cock and fire.
That first pull is similar to the long pull on a double action revolver, but
after that it's a much sweeter trigger.

But in a striker fired pistol there is no hammer so there isn't a "hammer down situation".

Yes ... Because of the hammer down situation, as the way it was explained to me many years ago.

Then I guess it would be considered a double action.
Don't get me to lieing, I'm more of a revolver guy.

Went researching... https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/strik ... ne-better/

Some striker fired guns are single action: the cycling of the slide fully cocks the striker and the trigger serves only to release it. Others are double action: the trigger pull fully cocks or finishes cocking the striker, then releases it.

Then I guess it would be considered a double action.
