No one would take on an armed opponent at 100 yards with a short barrel revolver IF he had a choice, and Slamfire is correct that the range is an artificial environment (but so is anything except actual combat, and no one want to practice under fire from live ammo).
But to quote an old Army saying, "you go with what you got" and if that revolver is all you got, that is what you use if the alternative is taking punishment without even trying to return fire. My point was that even at relatively long range, a short barrel revolver was better than "spitting". And if I were being fired on, I would probably not be standing up in some fancy stance; I would be diving for any cover I could find.
