we have hogs that like to root around in mud. it can build up and make an effective armor coating against pistol rounds. we shot a downed hog 3 or 4 times through the shoulder with a .45 and it did almost nothing. my buddy pulled his .357 and one shot in the same place, the hog squealed and bucked like it got hit with defibrillator paddles, and died. anecdotal, sure, but I carry a .357 revolver in the woods...
never push a wrench...

Sows with piglets are reported to be highly aggressive and the others not so much if not wounded or cornered by dogs. If a rifle or shotgun with slugs didn't work, I'm not sure how much help that a back up pistol would be. Nothing wrong with having one, though.

9mm will work with good shot placement most of the time. Not the first choice, a dedicated 10mm or 357 would be a lot better. Pig hunting with handguns is extremely fun
