25. For that type of gun, yes it is.
Edited on Tue Aug-16-11 03:18 PM by We_Have_A_Problem
The gun is (or is patterned after - I cannot tell specifically from the photo) a Colt Single Action Army, AKA "The Peacemaker", "The Gun That Won The West" or if you prefer, a "Cowboy Six-shooter".

This type of revolver is single action, meaning the trigger does only one thing - drop the hammer. Consequently, it is necessary to cock the hammer then pull the trigger.

Yes - really - that's how they are designed.
