From a training standpoint if you use the gun for defensive purposes you are most likely to whatever you train to do the most. If that means shoot SA then you will be cocking the hammer back under high stress. This may or may not be what you want to do.
If you don't cock the hammer back under stress the greater accuracy you enjoy from the SA operation will disappear and your shooting will actually be a bit worse then if you had simply trained in DA.
When I carried a revolver for SD (and it's been a good long while) when training I would shoot the first round SA and the rest DA. Never had to use it for SD luckily.
