Subjectively the correct answer.
I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
My .44 and .45 Colt MGs shoot 1 1/4” at 25 yds benched after sorting out and with my handloads using proper cast bullets.
While not earth shattering accuracy, for a thumper hunting load, with irons and 4” skinny barrel- I have no excuse for misses at realistic “hunting ranges” (50 yds+-).
A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
