This guide details the operation of a Ruger SP101 double-action/single-action revolver, as demonstrated by Gunghis. It covers safe cylinder opening, loading individual rounds, and the distinct firing mechanisms of double-action (longer, heavier trigger pull) and single-action (manual hammer cocking for a shorter, lighter pull). Proper muzzle discipline and safety checks are emphasized throughout.

This video provides a fundamental overview of how revolvers operate, aimed at new gun owners. Instructor Justin Opinion explains the basic parts of a revolver, demonstrates how to load and unload the cylinder, and differentiates between double-action and single-action firing modes. He emphasizes the importance of a smooth, full trigger pull and advises against habitually cocking the hammer on exposed-hammer revolvers due to the sensitive trigger pull in single-action mode.
