Hogs aren't all that hard to kill except the really big boars. Still at the proper range the 44mag will work just fine.
Hog hunting is not usually dangerous as they usually run away as soon as they see you but their eyesight is fairly poor and when spooked they can freak out and "charge" you. They can hurt you! I wouldn't consider them dangerous game but when cornered they can be aggressive and have been known to maim both dogs and people.
Your 45 sidearm is a good idea IMO.
