Default 24-3 3"

Can anyone comment on the accuracy of the 24-3 with a 3" barrel?

Thanks!

The one I had shot fine, as long as I controlled the trigger properly. Short barrels are inherently (mechanically) just as accurate as longer barrels. They have a shorter sight radius, which sometimes makes them seem less accurate because any variance in sight alignment shows up faster down at the target.

I always wish they had come out with a 3.5" M24. A 44 Special that looked in profile like the short barreled M27 would have been an even bigger hit...at least to me. I'd have kept one of those.
