I have, and have used on Hogs/deer with success the S&W 25-5, S&W M.G., the FA m97 and a Ruger Bisley (cut to 5.5").
My favorite of the lot are the Mountain Guns due to their double action capability and weight. I have had two occasions where double action was a definite advantage while hog hunting.
My experience for game to 50 yds, a Keith type, 250 gr SWC or a WFNGC at 1,000+- FPS performs about like a .308 on large hogs- given proper shot placement.
Here's link to article on .45 Colt. He was an early advocate of the cartridge, as well as one Hell of a revolver 'smith.

A true "Gun Guy" (or gal) should have familiarity and a modicum of proficiency with most all firearms platforms.
