Taurus Judge in 45lc/410. There are some inexpensive and cheap derringers with the same combo. The TC Contender (single shot switch barrel) was available in 45lc/410. You could buy/make an AOW or SBS, if legal where you are and if you want to jump thru NFA hoops. You can also get shotshells in a variety of pistol calibers from 22 (great fun for bumble bees around the azaleas) all the way up thru the popular defensive calibers - 357/38, 40, 10mm, 45acp, 44 special, 44 magnum. These are all small shot (#9 thru #12) in small quantities, so before you depend on 'em for nasty snake defense try a few at some beer cans and large pieces of cardboard before you really trust 'em.
