Home defense . . . I will assume "target practice" means training just in case the worst happens and having fun making small groups of holes in paper.
People disliked SA/DA pistols because they claimed they had trouble getting the first shot off accurately. I'll wager a major part of that was due to the fact that few actually practiced with the double action trigger. Load a magazine, rack, or drop, the slide and start shooting, the pistol shoots single action. Most folks that bothered to start in the standard carry configuration (holstered, hammer down, and safety off) still only shot one round out of fifteen in double action.
And, they blamed the pistol.
I like DA/SA pistols, but you have to practice with double action and the single action modes to be proficient.
