You can always use a pump slug gun til you find a Side by Side that you really like.
I have used my drilling since the 60's up North for grouse since we can carry the rifle barrel there too.
Here in CT I found a couple of well made doubles that are also easy to carry and shoot.
I have used the V. Bernadelli Gamecock for many years. It's light at 5#13oz. with double triggers and a tang safety.
Now I also have a like new Ugartechea #221 with double triggers and the preferred tang safety with 24 1/2" barrels and double triggers at 5# 9oz.
Both are effective, handsome guns with the #221 to the right.
I found these doubles for good prices by looking around on line and in shops.
