Actually, the strict use of the term double action is only correct when used with some semi-auto pistols, because there were models that functioned in double action only. Almost all S&Ws functioned in both double and single action revolvers in both top-break and hand ejector guns. Except of course for those revolvers in both top-break and hand ejectors that came only in single action.

As for the theory that no one knows what a hand ejector revolver is, I send you to every gun catalog, colector guide, or to the Neal & Jinks bible that names almost every solid frame revolver as a 22, 32, 38, 44, 45, or 455 Hand Ejector.
