Bought it off gunbroker and it hasn't arrived yet, but I used to carry a contender on a single point sling set-up that was quite handy. It was rock solid using a shooting stick and pressing out on the sling. 200yds on a coyote would be a chip shot.

How about a 10.5" barreled AR handgun with a brace?

An AR should fit the bill. A Remington Model 7 or an older Model 600 would too!

If you decide to go with a rifle, a cut down Howa mini in .223 or 6.5 grendel is pretty handy, especially if you replace the cheezy plastic bottom unit. This one is well under 7lbs and the youth stock with the 16 1/4" barrel is easy to tote / transport: Now we’re talkin’. My first choice, actually, but I figger everyone is tired of me pushing them. 20” is more to my taste, though.
What fresh Hell is this?

I've got a OG Model Seven in 17 Remington, perfect walking 'yote medicine.

Took a couple of weeks (the seller said it would) but my CVA Scout V2 6.5 Grendel arrived. I'm impressed. This is a hefty pistol (5lbs 6oz) and the lock-up feels solid. Trigger is very nice right out of the box. I removed the base, de-greased the screws and reinstalled with loctite then mounted a Vortex Venom I had on hand. I'll eventually install a traditional pistol scope, but I want to sight it in and hunt with it this weekend. Honestly I think these pistols are a steal.

A TC encore with a barrel under 20 inches would be super short. That, or something like an OG Remington Model 7 with an 18 inch barrel. Maybe a cz 527? Contender carbine in .223 with an 18-20" barrel. Much lighter than an Encore. +1, that's a very light rig with a synthetic stock and a compact scope.

Short enough I could whip it out any of the windows to pop any coyote that followed my plow looking for mice and baby rabbits the plow had disturbed. Light as a feather to carry, and super accurate to boot. Several of my nephews shot their first deer with it too.
