what is the difference between single and double action for this crosmen 3576 pistol?

With single action, you have to cock the hammer back every time, but with double action, you can fire it and the hammer cocks itself with every shot

Single action is when you cock the hammer, then pull the triger to fire the gun. Double action you just pull the triger to fire the gun. Single action gives you a lighter triger pull. Hope this help's to answer your question.

Double action refers to the revolvers ability to fire like an old single action revolver where the hammer MUST be cocked, or the revolver can be fired without the hammer cocked like a semi auto. The gun will fire as fast as you can pill the trigger, but not acurately. Firing in the single action (with the hammer cocked) is much more acurate because the gun has a hair trigger and you will be less likely to jerk your hand while firing. I hope that helps.

Double action: As you pull the trigger all the way back, the hammer also goes back. When you reach the end of the trigger travel, the hammer goes forward and the pistol fires the round. Single action: You use your thumb to pull the hammer all the way back until it locks in the rearward position. When you pull lightly on the trigger, the hammer goes forward and fires the round. It's easier to maintain a good aim when the hammer is already cocked all the way back because it only takes a light pressure on the trigger to fire the round. In double action you're pulling the trigger all the way back, against stiff resistance (as the hammer is cocked to the rear), making it harder to maintain your aim.

One is where you pull back the hammer yourself and it fires more quickly when you pull the trigger. The other is when you pull the trigger without pulling back the hammer so the hammer has to go back then forward when you pull the trigger

A double action trigger does two things (hence, double), it cocks the weapon and fires it. Examples would be, revolvers where one need only pull the trigger for the hammer to go fully to the rear and then be released.A single action trigger does only one thing (hence, single), it releases the hammer which fifes the weapon. The hammer must be cocked by some other method (by pulling it back with your thumb,

single have to pull hammer back and then push trigger each time you want the weapon to fire ,,,with double action you can just push the triger back each time,,,, and you can pull it just about as fast as you want on( most firearms) and the weapon will fire as fast as you push the trigger back

Simply put it can fire two ways. You can just squeeze the trigger to fire quickly or you can cock the gun with the hammer for a lighter trigger pull and ideally a more accurate shot.

I like using single action because less force is required to pull the trigger. The gun shoots the same either way.

Niether, it is spring action...like bolt action it needs to be cocked after every shot. It's really accurate and strong though.

To whom it may concern, the holster itself is made for a single action 357, my double action fits into the holster perfectly, and as far as the loops, 38, and 357 rounds if nicely into the loops, Hope it was helpful........

It is a single shot. I had a Crosman 357 and it broke in less then 30 days. The little key looking part that punctures the CO2 tube broke.The 2240 is much more powerful and more accurate. I average about 60 .22 shots per CO2 tube. It also shoots as high as 450 fps.I have a collection of high powered pellet guns and a Crony which measures pellet speeds. The 2240 is far superior. You can also buy a new set of handle grips that turn the 2240 into a rifle for about 20 bucks. In fact there are a number of custom parts available for the 2240.I also have 3 Hatsan rifles the 125 Mod TH, the AT44W-10, and the Galation. It is a single shot.

Double action. Has a 8 shot round mag that feeds the next .177 pellet when the trigger is pulled or the hammer cocked. It is not a blow back airgun. Love mine.

It works on a rotary magazine. It can be fire double action, or "cocked" for single action.

Tedo, You asked about the Magazine Catch and the Slide Stop Lever so, I look it up. According to my reference book, they are common (interchangeable) to all large frame pistols

It uses a single cr1/3n or you can use two 357 lithium watch batteries. I like this laser. The instant on touch sensor on the trigger guard is absolutely idiot proof. You will never have to think about or do anything to activate the laser. Just pick up the gun and it will be on. It's ideal for my wife too. She doesn't need anything to fumble with when she really needs that laser to work. I would definitely get this again.

Make sure you go into the select item option and pick the correct one for your pistol. The item description will help you out. Hope that helps. }:o)

It is a double action. The pistol has blowback capabilities which outomatically cocks the pistol for the next shot.

Yes, it had single fire and also full automatic function. And it is very easy to change between them.

I am so sorry, I have no idea. I would email Crossman. I bought my 357 the month before I purchased the clips.

Yes it has two buttons, one for a single shot and another for a double shot

NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY 'DOUBLE ACTION' I USUALLY PULL THE HAMMER BACK WHICH ADVANCES THE CLIP TO THE NEXT (BB OR PELLET) THEN AIM AND PULL THE TRIGGER. THIS HAS LESS HAND MOVEMENT AND MORE ACCURATE THEN PULLING THE TRIGGER TO ADVANCE THE CLIP AND AIM AND FIRE AT THE SAME TIME.I ALSO ADDED A "Compact Pistol Gun Picattiny Rail Red Laser Sight" by COI BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT FIRING LONG DISTANCES LIKE THE "M4-177" WHICH I USE A "Green dot laser sight hunting rifle gun scope 2 switch rail mounts" by HorizonHOPE THIS HELPSLKL

K frames were built early on for the 38 special and 22. L frames are more robust built to handle magnum rounds such the 357 mag. The 686 is an L. The Smith & Wesson site has lots of info.

I'm not sure. I have 2 snub-nose .38 revolvers but have not attempted to do so.

This is a bolt action pistol. Meaning to load and shoot assuming you have a CO2 cartridge in it. pull the bolt back, this cocks the "hammer" insert a single pellet into the chamber close the bolt and you are ready to shoot. There is no clip or magazine. Definitely a single shot unit.
