What’s a Triple-Action Revolver?
Have you ever seen the movie Four Brothers? In it, Mark Wahlberg describes the three-shot burst of a Beretta 93R as a triple action. Sure, Hollywood is wrong all the time, but I thought it was interesting. What is a triple-action? We know single and double action. What action...
