    I think you are probably a power user when it comes to ammo and drool worthy hardware. 45 subguns are tough to swallow on initial entry. Mine is also the only 45acp that I have, so I just don't keep a lot of the ammo around. Now once I get the suppressor out of NFA jail I may be adding some more lead lobbing 45's. The real question is what kind of range were you successful on hogs with your hk? I can hit steel at 200 with mine pretty easily. I could definitely land it on a hog sized silhouette, I wouldn't imagine the hog would still be there by the time the bullet landed and I don't think it would have much left in the energy department. The place I hog hunt in Oklahoma sets us up about 110 - 120 yards from the hogs, I never even considered the 45 for it. I would love to bag one with that pistol just because... I'm sure the guide would get a kick out of it too.
    I only took it out one evening, but didn't see anything before it got dark. This stand had a feeder that was about 50-60 yards. I don't think I'd want to shoot it much farther than that.

    When I was making the decision, my criteria was for a home defense gun. I was more concerned about the usability of a real stock than with taking it from state to state. If the world goes to hell, and I need it for a SHTF gun, I won't be worried about legalities.

    That said, since the world hasn't (though it sometimes seems so) quite gone to hell yet, there have been many times I wished I could have taken it with me on my travels. I'll probably be building a pistol lower one day before too long so I can have the best of both worlds... Although it will give me the ability to travel with it, once I get there, face it, it won't be as effective as with the real stock. No pistol brace can ever hope to be as effective as a real stock.
