"Shoot it a lot" is the mantra for anything you carry.
Its not that the snubbies are inaccurate, they really arent, if you're up to shooting them. They can be a challenge to shoot, especially if you're unfamiliar with them.
The "Airweights" especially are not all that pleasant to shoot and require a bit more from you, and tend to discourage the regular practice you need to be good with them. They certainly are not beginner guns.
Low capacity is just what it is. What else are they? You basically have 5-6 rounds, maybe a few more, depending on the gun, but the higher the capacity, the larger the guns tend to be too.
I have 5 round J frame Airweights up to 7 shot L frame snubbies. The Airweights are brutal if you're putting in the time with full power ammo. The larger, heavier guns are actually very pleasant, and good shooters too.
But at that point, I really don't see the point, as I can carry things that are similar in size, that carry a good bit more ammo, that are usually easier and quicker to get into action from how Im carrying them, and are easier to shoot as well.
It all comes down to being realistic in your choices, based on some kind of more realistic experience with them, putting the time in getting and staying good with them, and then, "Shoot it a lot", and repeat.
