Yep, can do some amazing shooting with a J frame snubby. Helps to have either a really smooth DA or the ability to COCK the thing for a good SA shot, something tough for a 640 to accomplish. I prefer a hammer on my snubby, even pocket carried. I ain't gonna shoot in a pocket, too close to my family's jewels down there, and I put my thumb over the hammer on the draw instinctively which eliminates snags. I probably get that habit from all my years with a single action revolver.

I wouldn't argue with you, but the fact is that there are a fair number of folks that can keep their shots in the K-zone of a B-27 silhouette target at 100 yards using a snubby. And they can do it consistently. In my younger days I was one of them, and I'd often demonstrate just to put the myth to rest that a snubby wasn't anything but a belly gun.
