Aside from the purists who always shoot double action, is there anything wrong with using a double as a single? Like parts wear or just the degradation of my moral fiber?

The only real downsides I'm aware of are:
1. A hammer strike from a DA pull is slightly less energetic than the hammer strike from an SA pull. That creates the potential that a self-defense revolver that is only (or nearly exclusively) shot SA in practice might have light strikes in DA that the user might never be aware of until he/she has to fire DA in self-defense.
2. Under stress/pressure, a defender may want the additional speed provided by DA operation but without practice may find that they aren't proficient enough to score good hits.
