it’s just not enough to kill a pig on the run or at any distance more than 5-10 feet.
Isn't that exactly what a "walk around the woods sidearm" is for? If you're wanting to do more maybe a TC Contender in 35 Remington?
Edit: Screw the 35 Rem... based on his comments the OP needs a Contender in .45-70 or .444 Marlin.

Sidearm.

The TC Contender is a sidearm... barely; hand cannon might be a better description! I shot one in .35 Remington and it was not pleasant. They also come in .444 Marlin and 45-70 but I'm not pulling the trigger on one of them.

And trying to come up with a good explanation for the wife? Been there, done that... and it never worked for me. Just buy what you want and brace yourself for the consequences!

lol. That’s why I like building ARs. Sneaky $1200 bucks over months

I’d be willing to part ways with my S&W M&P 40 Performance CORE if anyone is interested.

I carry a snub nose, hammerless, 5 shot Taurus in .38 and load with rat shot and solids. Walking around I don’t need more than that. More for copperheads than anything else.
If tracking a deer after dark, might grab a shotgun or AR to sling over my shoulder. No hogs here, so I would be shooting coons or coyotes.
If you want something for what you describe, get the full sized Glock 10mm. If you want to kill hogs on a dead run maybe a T/C in .243?
It’s still a pistol!

What about a mossberg shockwave in 20 gauge? I have never had any personal experience with them and know it’s not a sidearm, but it seems like you’d have plenty of wallop with 3” shells plus manageable recoil in a small package.

Taurus Judge. Either using a .45 or a .410 (birdshot or buckshot), it's a fun little toy to keep on your hip, especially if you are not a fan of snakes.

bought a Taurus 38 sp revolver in 1983, still my farm side arm, half hollow point and half snake shot

Are there any rounds I can shoot out of the gp100 357 that are best suited for snakes
Don’t say 357

Thanks. Looks like they run about $15 / box of ten.
