Those are pretty cool. But I still prefer a good sixgun and iron sights to add a little extra challenge to it.

That was a good look wasn't it!
Here's on source for an extended barrel. I presume the longer barrel is to squeeze a little more velocity and energy out of the round.
Lone Wolf Distributors - Product Detail - LWD Barrel M/21L 45 ACP 6" Length - $124.95
Of course, nobody has one in stock - as so typical these days
There's a huge difference in trying to tote around a shotgun and a handgun. The G21 is pretty soft shooting for a .45 ACP; it shouldn't be, but it is.
9mm through 150 pound hog. Shot through the right shoulder (on purpose to test the ammo) and stopped in the left shoulder.
I have some Barnes TSX Balck Tip on the way for my 9" 300 Blackout. My preferred hog rifle is my 14.5" 5.56 with a bonded soft point or TSX, but to get a bit more energy and a heavier bullet from a barrel almost 6" shorter for use from the truck, I'm all for it.

The reason so many people lose hogs is they don't understand the anatomy. Cntray to popular belief, they don't have an armor plate otherwise we'd be cutting them out and wearing them in our plate carrier! The problem is when we take the same shot we would on deer, we miss the majority of the vitals.
Below the shoulder by the elbow is a v shape area with access to the body. This is the ideal shot from a very alight rearward angle (hog facing ever so slightly away). This will get through the lungs and drop them pretty quick. Miss the vitals and they run off. The problem is they're bristly dark hair is usually caked with dirt so we don't see this area very well.
I prefer to put a bullet behind the ear, but from a moving truck on running hogs, it's not always that easy. A good shoulder shot can take them down but hogs can push through what a lot of other animals couldn't.
We can use a 300 wsm, but a miss is a miss.
Head shot from about 20 yards with Black Hills 50gr TSX. This is the entry wound. The exit opened a flap of skull on the other side. For the record, this guy went down with a few of his friends. He was running at full speed and I took him on the first shot from a truck bouncing through a field at about 15 mph. Good stuff.
