I had a Rossi Ranch Hand in .45Colt,it was minute of pie plate accurate,lol
The short sight radius and I’m gonna guess 10MOA(?) bead on the front post I know completely covers a wolf’s head at 80 yards....his head was all I could see and missed him clean,seconds earlier I hit another one running @20y in thick brush which I never did recover.(gutshot I think?)
Target shooting it was a reasonable 3-4” group @50y....good enough for my purposes,mainly bear defence while bowhunting in griz country.
I packed it for a few years bowhunting and fishing but sold it last year....in the meantime,I picked up a 14” barrel and birds head grip for my 870,no regrets... I have more faith in 12ga slugs then I do a pistol cartridge vs a grizzly that might like my moose calling,lol
