A double set trigger has its own little flying hammer.
A single trigger acts directly on the hammer of a hammer gun or the cocking piece of a bolt action in that the weight of the firing mechanism is upon the the sears.
A double set you are setting a smaller lighter mechanism that when tripped releases a lighter part to act on the heavier firing mechanism, its momentum doing the work.
Ive never liked them, often the trigger finger has to reach to far forward.
Some designs like BSA were better in that you pushed the front blade forward and the normal position rear became the lighter set trigger.
All a waste of time because a decent single stage or two stage trigger can be as good.
