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. Or... if your scared of getting charged just don't go.

I carry a Ruger GP 100. Not for defense, just for finishing off anything when necessary. And cuz its just fun to have a big pistol on my side!

I am partial to the 357 myself.

Ruger Vaquero in .45lc with stout 250gr rounds. Or my Springfield XDm in .45acp with 230gr rounds. I never carried them specifically for self defense from a hog, but rather in the hopes that I might sneak up within pistol range while rifle hunting.
I did manage to take one with the Vaquero. Talk about bang! flop!

I don't carry a defense pistol when hog hunting. same here.. if a rifle doesnt kill it, a pistol is just going to tick it off.

I use my Smith and Wesson 10mm. That thing is a HOSS! A nicely placed shot with hollow point ammo and that piggy ain't getting back up. A rifle would be a good (somewhat better) choice, but I can get to a pistol much more quickly than I could a rifle. Oh... Wait. We ARE talking about worst case scenario... right? Otherwise this is a stupid question. Kind of like... "What kind of gun do I need for the Zombie Apocalypse?"
