DA guns are handy for loading and unloading but

99.99% of the time I cock the hammer SA before shooting. I guess I could make a snap shot DA in a pinch but I do not recall ever doing so. The only exception was as a youth shooting snakes on the move with a High Standard "Longhorn" 9-shot I used. The DA trigger pull almost required two fingers! Something with that HS design.

I use some S&W guns along with a Super Redhawk in .429 GNR and a 10mm GP-100 custom. But as I said I enjoy carrying ammo in HKS speed-loaders (use the .45 Colt for the .454 cased .429 GNR) or on full moon 6-shot clips for the 10mm GP. Always cock the hammer SA. I do like the short hammer fall on most DA.

That said, most of my self defense "carry" guns are DA trigger pull, or Glocks. I like the Kahr line which are simply flat DA guns in my view. I also use the Walther P99-AS and Beretta 92A1 (prefer the SA mode on both). I do practice at 30 yds. with the Kahr and I'm pleased with it, a long very smooth DA pull. It does not stack and feels unique.
