"Double action" guns are much more common than single action - most semi-auto pistols are double-action, at least for the first shot. That means that pulling back the slide on your semiauto pistol only chambers the round - it doesn't "cock back" the striker pin. Only when [the trigger] is pulled beyond "first stage" (halfway back) does [the hammer]/striker become cocked. After that first shot, all other shots from the gun (until it is decocked, safety is [activated], or you cycle through the rest of your ammo) are "single action," since the blowback from the previous shot provides the force to re-cock the weapon.
