Canik:
You didn't specify revolver or pistol. On a pistol double action lets you get the first shot off faster in most cases. After the first shot, in most cases, an auto loader is shot single action.
A double action revolver, on the other hand, can be either single or double action on the first and subsequent shots. On single action revolvers the hammer must be cocked for each shot.
On single action only auto loaders the hammer can't be pulled with the thumb and the trigger must activate the hammer for each shot.
