the first click is a type of safety, the second is ready to fire. carry your gun on the first click when waking, so if you accidentally hit the hammer, it would jar the cap enough to make the pistol shoot, then fully c@ck the pistol when you are ready to pull the trigger and fire the weapon.

The first click is for when you are loading it you will be able to prime it without worrying about the hammer falling and the gun going off in your face. After the gun is loaded and primed pull the hammer back to the second click and it will be ready to shoot.

First click is called Half Cock and is used as a safety, the weapon should not fire at this stage.
Two clicks is called Full Cock and the weapon will fire at this setting.
You do not wont the hammer resting on the percussion cap when loaded, nor do you wont to walk around with a fully ****** weapon that is why you have the first setting Safety.
****= c@ck who ever sensors this post must thank we all stand around playing with our appendage all day.

The first click is the safety so that the hammer doesn't rest on the cap. Make sure you use pistol lube so it doesn't crossfire and cause the other chambers to ignite as well.
