Bill,
Do they still make single action. I thought the invention of the double
action saw the end of the single action.

Yes. They're still very popular, mostly with people who are involved with
cowboy shooting tournaments. Hunters, too. Ruger has models that are
(mechanically) capable of handling ammo that's enormously powerful compared
to what you'd normally use for defense.

Here's an example:

The .45 caliber Ruger Old Army in SS is still my favorite handgun to
shoot.
