You CAN learn to shoot the snubbie "J" frame quite well. Amazingly well, in fact. After I stuck mine on the Ransom Rest, many years ago, I realized that "I" was the problem, not the gun.
Here's the task;
1 - Very light piece
2 - Very short sight radius
3 - Relatively heavy trigger pull vs weight
4 - However, lack of accuracy is NOT the problem.
They ARE more difficult to shoot but they are far from impossible.
Since I have ALWAYS cast my own bullets and reloaded, I have never been "starved" for ammunition. Try shooting twenty serious shots, three times a week. Start fairly close and as you improve keep moving the target out until you are at 25 yards.
You can learn to shoot a snubbie good enough for use as a trail gun when bird and rabbit hunting for those sitting rabbits. You WILL have a slightly lower percentage than a longer barreled revolver, but surprisingly close in percentage. If you get a couple of rabbits your chest will "puff up" and that's not a bad thing.
If you can do that from time to time, your confidence level will be raised a LOT.
Good luck in your travels to a successful result.
