Chui, Unfortunately there are many folks here on TFL who use probabilities and statistics to select a weapon or justify a weapon choice. We have seen this over and over. They will be out soon to scold you for comparing a gun game with real life. They push things like "the bad guy will run at the mere sight of a gun" and "after the first one or two are down and bleeding the rest will turn tail and run" to support opting for less capacity or even a smaller caliber.
The angle "the snub is less likely to get taken away" is new to me but equally wrong IME.
My answer is NO the snub is not the best choice. It will handle most situations well but it is not the best choice. An accurate, reliable, concealable weapon that holds 5 shots is not better than an accurate, reliable, concealable weapon that holds 15 shots.....provided the cartridges have similar effectiveness. Thats the bottom line.
