Single Action , like a Colt 1911 or Browning Highpower would have the hammer already back and cocked with the safety engaged to block the trigger. Flick off the safety, pull the trigger. There are also SA revolvers like Colt Single Action Army's and Ruger Blackhawks. You cock the hammer, the cylinder rotates, bringing up a new round, you pull the trigger and it fires. This must be done each time with a SA revolver.
Hope that explains it.
