How accurate is a 2" barrel, compared to a 4" or 6" barrel of the same caliber? Say at 5-10 yards.
Just curious. Never shot a snubbie (that I can recall anyway).

At that range, the potential for accuracy is there but it's more difficult to achieve. The sight radius is longer with a longer barrel, so the chances you're lining up the sights correctly improve.
That's just my opinion; I'm a snubby fanatic but not necessarily a bullseye shooter every time.

The same.
The difference being the amount of practice needed to achieve identical results?
Definitely!
Yup.....dry firing a lot helps with trigger control too. I do it when I sit around watching TV. My wife doesn't even think it's weird any more. :-/
we ring 10 inch metal targets at 40-50 yards for practice. my brother has a little 32 S&W I-frame that is just as accurate as our long barreled guns. it's a blast to shoot that little thing at that distance.
The mechanical accuracy of the guns are indistinguishable, if that's what you're asking.
The inherent accuracy of a 2 inch barrel is basically the same as a 6 inch at the distance you're talking. Now, the usable accuracy is a different matter for most people.
Shorter sight radius, small to non existent sights, a small grip and in airweight form, pretty nasty recoil. All that makes it harder to shoot, but not less accurate.
