I can't read Ti- Tick's mind , but likely he is pushing back against the myths that J Frames ( and small frame snubbies generally ) are * only * good for belly to belly , bad breath distances .
Yes , it is difficult to shoot them to their potential .
Yes , it is a big step forwards to have a baseline of DA trigger skills . Basic trigger skills learned on Medium frame DA Revolvers translate to a significant degree .
My rule of thumb , is J & similar be able to shoot as well , at aprox 2/3 the distance as a K & similar revolver . Kind of similar relationship as pocket size 9mm vs belt size 9mn .
Another tool in the toolbox.
