You've got it right. But remember single/double action refers to the action of the weapon, not you. Double action means the trigger cocks and releases the hammer, single action means it only releases it. Thus a single action weapon requires you to first pull the hammer back, then to squeeze the trigger to release it (two actions on your part).
