45ACP for pig?

I've carried a Glock 21 in 45ACP as my back-up gun while pig hunting in South Texas, as we get some pretty mean SOBs. However, I've never actually shot a pig with it nor any other .45, as my 7.62x39 AR does the job rather nicely.

However, I'm looking at getting a .45ACP carbine as a play toy & pig gun possibly with a suppressor (legal to hunt pig with in TX), hehehe .

But as the .45 is a heavy but pretty slow moving round, I'm curious about how effective it is on piggies, compared to a .357 or .44 mag? Anyone have insight?
