I shoot my snubnoses at 50 yards occasionally.
Most will group on a silhouette target at that range using a neck hold. Sometimes the group is five inches, sometimes 10.

My son managed to hit a bullseye target at 100 yards with my snub M15 last time we were at the range. He's a Bullseye match shooter with good trigger control and reflexes. The M15 has better sights, more weight, and a better feel in the hand than many snubs too.

I've noticed that, when I'm doing right by it, my 649-2 will put two and three shots out of five touching at 50 feet. This is shot from standing using a two hand hold. It will sometimes do nearly as well at 25 yards. I once shot a better five-shot group double action at 50 yards than I did single action at the same distance. Reloads with 158 grain SWCs and Unique powder used in all instances.

A good snubby can be very accurate.
