I thought I was a good shot until I started using that snubbie.

And you'll drive yourself crazy trying to be a good shot with a snub nose. They are not and cannot be accurate with a barrel length of 3" or less. Belly (arm's length) shots only. You could have a measure of repeatability if you load your own down to the grain, but unless you're a maniac you probably have better things to do.

I've gotten pretty good out to 15 feet. The trick is not to zero in on the bull's eye, just squeeze the trigger when it's in the sight. It's a hoot to fire. People who have never shot a snub nose are deceived by its small size and are always shocked the first time they fire it, "I had no idea it was that powerful!"

You are giving the keyboard komandos a bad rep with stupid, uninformed comments such as this.
