Would it be a good gun for wild pigs here in Tennessee where the hunting will be in heavy brush and hills/mountains terrain?
Im pretty sure a 45 will kill a hog...ive dropped several with 22 mag and even LR
Really? I use an AR15 on Javelinas, and Either a AR or a WASR (AK) and a knife on feral hogs and boars...never use a pistol. I have even done knife only (with the help of dogs) hunts on them and have never been hurt (Except for falling ) and never felt undergunned. 75/77grn Blackhills have no issues cracking their brain bucket hear on, and I have had several kills within 50 yards head on and side chest shots.YMMV.Must be really tiny pigs if you think .45 ACP is the right caliber for them. The ones here charge you when shot, a .45 ACP doesn't even qualify as a backup gun. I don't hunt but my uncle hunts boar. I think he uses something like a 7.62x54 (don't recall, but some "full-size" rifle cartridge) and a .44 mag as a sidearm.
