Double-action means that trigger movement cocks the action as the trigger is pulled during firing, but the gun can also be manually cocked like a single-action.
A gun which can be cocked only by trigger action (no manual cocking) is known by the term double-action-only.
A double-action handgun's trigger-cocking allows a faster shot, since no separate manual cocking is needed.
A double-action gun's longer, heavier trigger pull is also considered safer.
In fact, many double-action guns, especially revolvers, have no mechanical safety at all, since only a long, deliberate pull will fire the handgun.
