A revolver that says "magnum". .357 minimum and with a heavy bullet hot load. Everyone has their faves. The only handguns I've taken hogs with are .357 magnum in a Ruger 6.5" Blackhawk (165 grain SWC and 180 XTP handloads), .357 in a Taurus 3" 66 (140 Speer JHP to the head, my carry that day, was just walking a trail), and .30-30 with 150 grain Nosler BT handload (Thompson Center contender 12" hunter barrel with 2x optic). Use of heavy bullets in the caliber helps with penetration on larger hogs through the shoulder.
