A single-action (SA) trigger is the earliest and mechanically simplest of trigger types. It is called "single-action" because it performs the single function of releasing the hammer/striker (and nothing else), while the hammer/striker must be cocked by separate means. [1]
The Kel-Tec PMR-30 is a full-size semi-automatic pistol manufactured by Kel-Tec of the United States. [1] It was made available in 2011. [5] It has a single action trigger pull of 3.5 to 5 lb f (16 to 22 N) and a manual safety device. [1]
The design utilizes a double-action/single action trigger mechanism, meaning that the first shot is fired with long double-action pull, with following shots fired in single-action. [3] The 457's external hammer omits a thumb spur, thereby reducing the risk of being caught on clothing during unholstering. [3]
Many original single-action revolvers have a half-cock "safety" notch on the hammer, but these are not drop-proof. [22] Modern single-action revolvers, those made after the early 1970s, almost always have an internal safety, such as a hammer block or transfer bar. It is safe to carry such firearms with a loaded chamber under the hammer.

The Beretta 21A Bobcat is available chambered for either .22 LR or .25 ACP (6.35 mm) ammunition. It has a simple blowback operation, with a single- and double-action trigger mechanism, and exposed hammer. It has a magazine release button in the left side grip, located between the grip retaining screws.
The MR 73 has an adjustable trigger weight in both double-action and single-action modes, a feature found in other high-end revolvers such as those built by Korth and Janz. These adjustments do not alter the strength of the main spring, ensuring reliable primer ignition. This is achieved by use of a separate flat spring controlling the trigger.
The most common type of flare gun is a Very (sometimes spelled Verey), [1] which was named after Edward Wilson Very (1847–1910), an American naval officer who developed and popularized a single-shot breech-loading snub-nosed pistol that fired flares (Very lights). [2] They have a single action trigger mechanism, hammer action, and a center ...
