But yesterday the grounds squirrels were out and I was dreaming of some other option. Something short packable in a fender bag but with a little more velocity. Was considering a Thompson encore pistol but... Anyone carry the perfect shooting iron cartridge?

It stays strapped to the front rack. I then carry a Bond Arms Century 2000 in 45 colt/.410. I use Marlin 444 brass to reload my .410 rounds.
