I don't carry a defense pistol when hog hunting. I carry a 9mm for finishing off a wounded hog because the 9mm ammo is cheaper and easier than blasting a hog at a range of 20 inches with another rifle bullet. My experience has been that when the shooting starts, the hogs take off for the nearest cover like a bunch of greased pinballs on fire!
I have two unwritten rules: 1. 2.

Sometimes I hunt hogs with the S&W 629. Other times I might strap on a Tarus judge, 357 or 9mm for the heck of it or even a 22.
Have fun sometimes riding the pastures on one place with the spotlight chasing down hogs and shooting them with the Judge loaded with buckshot out the window of the truck.

sometimes I bring my contender with a .44 mag barrel and scope but mostly for a shooting angle I cant reach with a rifle, like 6 o'clock right under my stand. If I am going on a recovery mission I prefer it in the thick stuff.

I was under the impression that it is illegal to hunt with a pistol, but rather that it should only be used defensively, and at that, may only be carried by those with CCP's or such.

East hunts hogs with spears so I think you are cool with pistols.

Sig .40 or 9mm. FMJ all the way! No HP, as they are intended to decrease over penetration on two legged targets and not a charging 200lb boar with armor plating.

Sensei Petiki taught me several things and anointed me grand master of 21 ft. and gave me permission to take on students in the art of the blade. I will show you my moves

Until you have starred down a 350 lb russian boar in the morning fog dualing a 4" blade from 21 ft, you really havent lived

It is un-sporting to use the 21ft rule on a pig. Screaming...always screaming

21 feet goes fast on a pig, they ALWAYS charge as soon as they see a human. All you have to do is hold the spear in front of you, and the pig skewers them selves. Boom bacon wrapped pork kabob ready for the grill.

Yes but why have a sensible discussion about a non-sense question? If you are that scared take a shotgun. You'll have a better chance of hitting and knocking it down. Most folks can't hit a running pig coming at them while they are running away and/or crapping their drawers.
