Double action

• Double-action only 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 : A variant of traditional double-action used on certain SIG Sauer semi-automatic pistols. DAK triggers have a long stroke with pull. However, if a user shooting under stress short-strokes the trigger by only releasing it halfway, the trigger will reset, but with a pull. This temporary increased trigger pull is intended to prevent negligent discharges.
• Double-action – firearms trigger: Pressing the trigger 1) cocks, and 2) drops the hammer. The hammer can also be cocked to fire in single-action mode.
• * With a DA revolver, the hammer can be cocked first, or the trigger can be pulled and it will cock and release the hammer. Once the gun has fired, the hammer stays in the decocked position until the hammer is re-cocked, or the trigger is pulled again.
• * With a DA semi-automatic pistol, the initial trigger pull will cock and release the hammer. The blowback from 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. A decocker, if present on the pistol, can be used to return the hammer to its decocked position to prevent negligent discharges.
