Single action vs. double action differences

[Tactical72]

Where are you from? I think the best way to learn about the differences is a hands on approach. I'm sure there are a few members here who would be happy to get together and help you.

I'm going with this. SA and DA can come in all shapes and sizes, I wouldn't say there's a surefire way to identify them(safeties?! some have none). If introduced to a new firearm, the manual and people already familiar to firearm are the best ways to learn.
I have no idea what a plate on a revolver is, and the only safety for one I recall is half cocked, and a cross bolt blocking the hammer from hitting the firing pin(trigger still releases the hammer, but no boom). And then, some revolvers that can be fired DA, can usually be fired as a single action too.
