No matter how much skill, failures to stop are pretty common with any caliber, much less 38sp snub loads. So sure, it may be just fine, until its not. There are far too many instances of attackers taking multiple good hits & staying in the fight.
If its an unarmed mugger, you are probably fine. If your attacker has a gun or a knife knife in close, yeah not worth me rolling those tiny dice. I shoot my snubs just fine, better than most will shoot their compact 9, but 5rds goes really fast in a fight & no reload will save you.
