Proficiency is everything. If you are more comfortable and proficient with a single action then it is a better choice than something else that 'may' be more socially acceptable to 'some' folks.
Never fan a single action revolver that is not built specifically for the purpose. It's a fast way to destroy an otherwise fine sixgun. Not a good idea in a defensive situation either.

That's an interesting yet unsupported theory.
In the real world, Thunder Ranch and Gunsite have defensive courses designed specifically around using single action revolvers.
