I agree with James B, the snubby is not inaccurate, it is just tougher to shoot accurately due to human factors. What ammunition are you shooting thru it? Find the right load, and it will likely shoot better than you can.
The best load that I use in the Taurus .38sp is Federal Hydrashok 129gr. It is the recommended load for small .38's and works the best from a snubnose. But, the $*#&!@ indoor range that I go to has a stupid policy where you can't bring in YOUR ammo. You have to shoot theirs. So, I have to deal with semi-wadcutters, or CCI Blazer .38sp LRN garbage.
I went to another buddy's farm and tested the Taurus with the Federal Hydrashok and a couple of coke cans. I could punch the "o" in Coke at 5 yards away and then blow the coke can to pieces with a few more rounds. Good stuff....
