I suggest a 357/38 spl. secondhand( ie a bit dented so who cares a few more!) Rossi "Puma" in 16"(short stock, saddle-ring) or a Winchester Trapper with a laminated stock, that is, if you have the cash justification.
This calibre can penetrate a cylinder block or vehicle interior/window is easy to shoot in confined positions and has 7 shots available.
As far a deterant value goes a 44 mag L/A or 20" P/A shottie has more sway...bigger hole you see !
Watch out for border crossings, you may forget it is there, but "they" won't believe you !
