my 357 mag 4" ported barrel works good with 158gr high power loads.
Any pistol you can accurately put rounds on target with. If you are without a primary weapon, or your pistol IS your primary weapon, you must put rounds on target. Caliber, operation, manufacture, or tactical-ness doesnt matter if you arent hitting flesh.

I always carry my Smith and Wesson M&P40 into the woods. It's been my favorite side arm for years.
My first thought is:
Why bring a pistol to a rifle fight? A rifle is capable of much more accurate fire in the woods. This is coming from the guy who loves revolvers.
My next thought was that pigs aren't particularly hard to kill. We used to kill them with a 37# recurve bow, with fiberglass field tip arrows. We didn't have any broad points.
Building on that thought, . . . I think I'd take my Blackhawk in .30 carbine, were I to go looking for a hog, along with my beater Universal .30 carbine. That Universal is light, accurate, and dependable, but the stock has been glued back together, and it's in poor condition, cosmetically. Dragging it though the woods could only add character to that rifle.
The point is moot. My right foot is damaged goods. I took a fall. I won't be packing any game out the woods anymore.
