Forgive my ignorance on the subject but could someone educate me on double action semi-auto pistols?
I just got into guns last year so I admit I have a lot to learn. One thing I do know is that my wife HATES any handgun that she has to rackout. Hence, we have been only considering getting her a revolver for self defense.
But just today I read that there are some double action semi-autos as well - does this mean that the first DA pull loads a round and fires it then SA after that? I've always been under the impression that semi-auto pistols had to be racked out at least the first time.
Thanks.
