I don't know what you mean by compact. Almost by definition, a powerful cartridge will need to have a strong frame, and that generally means big and heavy. The 475 Wildey, the 44mag Auto mag come to mind. I have a 30Carbine by AMT. Depends on what you mean by powerful eg. energy, momentum, flat shooting etc. Peter.

Peter, I had a chance to buy an AMT in .30 carbine years ago and passed on it. I've been kicking myself since. How do you like it? How does it shoot? Sorry to highjack this thread!

the 400 cor bon is a good choice...just put a new barrel in any 45 acp and you can get compact in that all day long but the 10 mm is more practical unless you have a 45acp collecting dust. just under the power of the 10mm
