Double action is something like pushing a Grand Piano uphill on a gravel road!
But they can be tought to shoot wery well.

Here's some reading:

Forgot!
The early ones from Belgium and some from Tula arsenal are indeed very well made, but as first half of the great war began (1914) quality slipped in favor of quantity.
