One more thing I am curious about, do these guns make the hammer on the seat or in a pulled backed/cocked position after every shot........you know, like a semi that you have that heavy first pull, then every successive pull is light?

If you shoot a revolver in "double action", the hammer starts seated down on the frame, and as you pull the trigger the hammer move all the way back, then suddenly drop and fire the gun. Repeat the trigger pull to do the same thing for the next round. The trigger pull will be longer and heaver than if shot in "singe action" (see below).
If you shoot a revolver in "single action", you will manually pull the trigger all the way back with your thumb until it is locked all the way back. The trigger pull from that starting point will be less distance and less pressure to make the hammer drop and fire the round.
You need to go to a gun store and look and handle a revolver or two and you will see how they work.

There is nothing on the typical revolver to recock the hammer like on a semi auto where a reciprocating slide or bolt will.
As the above poster said...go handle one, or at the very least go to youtube and watch some shooting videos to see how they work. I recommend Hickock45. He shoots several revolvers from Ruger, S&W, and Colt.
