Self Defense Shotguns

How much buckshot could be put in a .410 plus yes, a .45 LC would take down a cougar but as I just said, I can't conceal it.

"I'd take a .45 LC if I could find one I could conceal."

Is the Judge to big to conceal easily? It fires 45 colt.

Just wondering if the Judge would be a good "all around" pistol. 410 for snakes, carjackers, etc. while 45 Colt for larger animals. Maybe too big to just put in your pocket?
