It seems to me that a woods gun with a light SA pull wouldn't be a problem. If you're hunting it makes for a more accurate shot, if you're defending yourself you would normally use DA anyway. I've got an old S&W 1955 Target (Pre-model 25) with a similar trigger and it's one of my favorites.

The only concern would be "Push Off". With the hammer cocked, apply quite a bit of pressure to the hammer with your thumb. If the hammer drops, it's likely to have been stoned to the wrong angle by someone and needs to be repaired.
