45 ACP for Hogs?
I regularly take 'em down with my .380. Never at more than 25 yards and always just behind the ear or in the eye socket; though I was about 3/4 of an inch off once on a running hog.....the gun probably needed cleaning.

Never wounded one; never lost one, running in agony, to die of starvation after I'd missed that eye socket or ear and busted a jaw. It's fun and ethical. Great way to introduce kids and new hunters to the "way we do things", whether it be in the field or on the Internet.....though I suggest for the kids you start them off with a .25 auto....that's great for deer also.
