How accurate can you be with a .22 snub 34 or 63?

Picked this one up last November. Finally got to shoot it a couple weeks ago.
Double action was disappointing. Only fired every other shot. Somebody trimmed the main spring too much. Fixed now.
Single action was fine and shoots well within minute of dirt clod out to 30 yards. We have big dirt clods round here.

 
I had a 2 " Model 34. Good little gun and I could shoot it pretty well. However, I also own a 4" Model 34, a couple of 6" Model 17s and two Model 18s. Frankly, I always preferred shooting one of those and the 2" didn't get much use. Even when hiking or camping, it seemed that something else ended up hanging on by belt.
One day I was looking for something else in the safe and came across the 2" 34. I realized that it hadn't even been out of the safe for 8 maybe 10 years. So it went to the next gun show and got sold. :rolleyes:

My all time favorite .22 revolver is a Model 18. In fact, its my favorite S&W revolver period. I shoot these more than any other gun I own. I've said many times that my Model 18 gets full credit for teaching me to shoot a S&W revolver in DA. ;)
 
I don't think the question is whether they are adequately accurate, as they are, but whether with their short sight radius, and lack of heft, the average person can shoot them well at distance. I know the late Bob Munden sure could.
