There are some interesting videos for folks who are looking to use single actions for self defense. The current line of thinking is to reload as you go. Fire two, flip the gate open, eject and reload, close the gate, fire one, flip the gate open, etc., etc. Unless you are Jerry Miculek, they seem to take about the same amount of time, and using that method with the single action allows continuous firing. Kinda slick, really.

I prefer my single actions in bigger bores, but the same thing applies.
