Trigger- When the trigger is pulled, it activates the hammer, which in turn causes the firing pin to strike and fire the cartridge. ii. Cylinder- Holds cartridges in individual chambers arranged in a circular pattern. Each time the hammer moves to the rear, the cylinder turns and brings a new chamber in line with the barrel and the firing pin. iii. Cylinder Release latch - Releases the cylinder and allows it to swing out so that cartridges can be loaded and unloaded. iv. Two types of revolver actions 1. Single Action- Trigger performs only one action, releases the hammer, firing the pistol. 2. Double Action- Trigger performs two tasks. Cocks and releases the hammer, firing the pistol.
