non-resident Texas hogs?

[Konocti's Wigwam]

10mm is the perfect cartridge for feral hogs. They're tough, thick bones and skull. An all-steel 10mm 1911 is not hard to control or shoot accurately.
During the day hogs lay up in cover, in mud if they can find it. In really thick cover I'll sling the rifle and just carry the 10mm, ready for a quick shot.

Well, it's certainly compact.

I look at sidearms as being more for self defense in case I was to be attacked. I have a few 1911s and have thought about converting one to 10mm as that is better suited for a bear. It is certainly enough for a pig, but if I had the Grendel also, I'd rather shoot 6.5 pills. Possibly get a shorter barrel if it is not needed, but I would use the 6.5 Grendel for pigs.
