Converting single action to double action?
This probably sounds like a real dumb question but I was just curious if it was possible. Can a single action revolver be converted to double action?

Re: Converting single action to double action?
Not so fast there, buckaroos. It's dependent on the firearm. If you are talking strictly about the plowshare gripped "cowboy" guns with a loading gate, the answer would be no.
However, waaaay back in the day, when bullseye competition was contested with wheelguns, S&W produced SAO versions of the model 14 (maybe of the 17 & 25 also, but that's speculation). Since it had a swing-out cylinder, and was originally designed as a DA revolver, conversion to DA or DAO was a matter of easily replacing/fitting some parts.
Probably not what you meant, but technically correct.
