There is a comfort factor, a familiarity - I grew up shooting single actions. From the time I was about six. They are an extension of my hand. My dad and my uncles used to let us kids shoot them off the back porch of my uncle John's orchard until we got tired of doing it. So, is it totally out of the question today? Gunsite Academy instructor Il Ling New obviously doesn't think so:

Timely. I'll be practicing that with my new 686...when I get enough ammo.
Hey Jeff a question please. Right now I have mostly wad cutters to feed the 686. A few rounds of jacketed but not many.. With the cutters that's alot of raw lead going into a new barrel. Is it detrimental to a new barrel or should I wait until I can put more jacketed rounds through it first?
