If you are asking about it's mechanical accuracy -- the accuracy that the revolver itself is capable of OUTSIDE of human hands and interaction... I'm sure it's absolutely fine.

All snubs are horribly difficult to shoot. It's not the barrel length so much -- it's the irrationally short sight radius. You simply have almost no idea just how far "off" you are from shot to shot. Add in the rudimentary sights on the LCR and it's a recipe for a serious blow to your confidence.

But there is nothing about the gun that makes it inaccurate, it's just horribly, horribly difficult to shoot well.
