Single Action requires the hammer to be cocked before pressing the trigger to fire the weapon. Double Action only requires you to press the trigger through its range of motion.

What is a main difference between a single action revolver and a double action revolver?

The main difference between a single action revolver and a double action revolver lies in the mechanism of firing. In a single action revolver, the shooter must manually cock the hammer before each shot, which also rotates the cylinder to align the next round. In contrast, a double action revolver allows the shooter to either pull the trigger to both cock the hammer and release it, or manually cock the hammer for a lighter trigger pull. This makes double action revolvers generally faster to fire in succession.
