Feral Hogs

[fish_in_a_lund]

What's the smallest caliber handgun you'd use on feral hogs? Would my 45ACP do?

.45? Doubt it unless you get a well placed shot. You would be better off with a .357 +P+! .45 doesn't have enough penetration or umph. The .357 has the speed and impact. Best pistol would be something like a .44 mag or one of the new exotic high power caliber pistols.

Most of the wild hogs that I have seen weighed under the 200 pound mark. Your 45 would do the job but I would use it only in a backup purpose. If you want to hunt them with a pistol go with the 44 mag with aleast a six inch barrel. The 357 mag will also put down a hog but I would go with the 44mag.
