I can attest to the accuracy and reliability of the Smith model 60. I shoot steel plates at 25 yards (75ft) with one. It's not the lightest snubbie on the market.
I also have a Taurus M85 ultralight snubbie. Weight and reliability wise, no problems. For normal self defense ranges, accuracy is no problems. It points better than the Smith for quick shots, but it's not as accurate (or maybe I'm not as accurate with it) as the Smith at 25 yards.
