Perfect hog pistol.....

I always carry a pistol when hunting. Either a single action 22mag, or single action 45LC. If I am expecting to shoot bayed hogs I take the 22 mag loaded with solids. Very accurate and very effective for head shots. If I am hunting by myself and the gun is for protecting myself and my dogs I carry the 45LC loaded with 225 gr FTX lever evolution rounds.

I have shot quite a few big boars that were breaking a bay and running at me in a tight spot with the 45LC and I will never hesitate to shoot a boar to protect my dogs. Dog safety comes first for me.

I like the single action. It is dependable and the slower rate of fire cuts down on the possibility of spraying bullets at a hog and hitting a dog by accident.
