What does pulling the hammer back on a hand gun (NOT a revolver) do?

When you pull the hammer back on any gun, you set the hammer to be fired. This action is basically the same in all guns, and for the same reason; You are setting the hammer to be fired and reducing the pressure needed to fire the gun in most cases. Just like in your revolver, this step is a basic function of the hammer spur relation.
