From the stand-point of weight to utility ratio, an extra box of slugs, well-hidden, would be a must. I, for one, would hate to go out with only small-shot on me (just packed my bag for going trap shooting: added six slugs and a dozen #3 buck just in case). I hate "purely sporting" firearms.
A handgun makes much sense if caught away from your shoulder arm: a J-frame or a compact 9 with a reload isn't too much of a burden, eh?
