How they use shotguns in movies

old cop / detective shows feature the good guy, when he's closing in on the bad guy, cocking his revolver into single action mode at least 2 to 4 times per encounter.
The gun manufacturers must've had really low quality standards, with all those S&W and Colt revolvers from the 1970s having the hammer droop back into the forward resting position just several seconds after having been manually brought to full cock.

Must have been a defective batch of leaky gas seals on the hammer retraction struts of the era. ;)
