A revolver with a really nice trigger, good sights, and a long sight radius is easy to shoot and the adjustment would be NBD.

A short-barreled revolver with tiny sights and a stiff trigger is very challenging to shoot well.

I've owned quite a few snubbies. Hammerless is clearly superior for CC, imho. The best I've owned and shot is the Ruger LCR.

For the range or plinking or hunting or whatever, something with a 6" or longer barrel and the aforementioned good sights and trigger is what you want. The Ruger Blackhawks are my favorites; I like single-action revolvers. I have some very nice S&W DA revolvers as well. IMHO, the particular revolver itself, and the smoothness or non smoothness of its trigger is more important than what particular model you get.
