Re: Single Actions
OK, I'll bite...Umm, no.
If there was one that cocked the hammer by use of a lever, then I would have to say "yes".

Sure they are. They're "thumb lever" actuated repeating pistols. Not hard to see the parallel

Single Actions go together with Lever Actions like Bacon and eggs.

Re: Single Actions
Yes..... leverguns ARE single action firearms.
IIRC the hammer movements which occur when pulling the trigger define whether the action is single or double.
ie. Single action involves the falling movement only, double action involves two movements, cocking & falling.

Re: Single Actions
Yup, they go together like burgers & fries, beer & pretzels, buscuits & gravy, dogs & bones, cats & catnip, fish & water, and hunters & campfires.
