Absolutely true. In fact, I believe that in the past Clint Smith has put on some classes on the defensive use of the single action revolver.

Also true. In fact Jeff Cooper often mentioned that he liked a short barrel SxS shotgun with exposed hammers for home defense, because it can be kept with shells in the chambers and hammers down indefinitely without putting any tension on any springs.
It's not about what the gun is. It's about good training and skill using it.
