Its light recoiling, flat shooting, and fun to shoot. Very fun to shoot, just like 4.6. Depending on ammo, performance ranges from reasonably good to piss-poor. The best ammo in a 16” might not be the best ammo in a 4”-5”, and vice-versa. Follow up shots are ready as fast as you can discriminate the target and work your finger, from any size weapon.
Given that you listed feral hogs as a threat, I’d choose pretty much any pistol caliber with a hardcast or copper solid instead. I don’t know what piggies look like in your AO, but they’re damn near megafauna around here, and from pistol barrels mass matters.
If you’re looking for something speedy without the recoil of proper 10mm, I’d suggest .357 Sig or 9x25 Dillon instead with maybe some Lehigh solids. Or hardcast in the .357 Sig. Speaking of cartridge length, 5.7 is rather long, and grip feelz reflect that.
From a rifle, most anything is better in any barrel length for external ballistics and terminal performance. The others will be louder, particularly without a silencer.
