Videos tagged with Triple Action Revolver

This video ranks revolvers used during World War I, evaluating them based on action type, ergonomics, reliability, and cartridge effectiveness. It highlights the decline of single-action revolvers and the rise of more modern designs like the Colt and Smith & Wesson 1917 models, which utilized .45 ACP with moon clips for rapid reloading. The presenters, experienced firearms enthusiasts, provide detailed critiques of each model, from the poorly made Romanian 1915 to the highly regarded top-tier revolvers.

This video clarifies the historical evolution and modern understanding of 'single action,' 'double action,' and 'triple action' firearm terminology, primarily focusing on revolvers. It explains that single action means the trigger performs only one function (releasing the hammer), while double action means the trigger performs two functions (cocking and releasing the hammer). The concept of 'triple action' is discussed as the ability to perform both, though its usage has largely been superseded by the combined understanding of single and double action capabilities.
