There are a lot of single shot, folding, break-action wilderness shotguns on the market. They appeal to people because they they typically sell for less than $200.
These guns are a terrible idea. They instill a false sense of security which in turn encourages people to take more risk in the wilderness.
When a person is under stress their heart rate goes up. Their vision becomes narrow and they lose fine motor control. To simulate how well you would actually shoot in a life or death situation, sprint as hard as you can for 50 meters to get your heart rate up and then shoot. You'll feel like a Star Wars Imperial Storm Trooper with shots going all over the place.
It is arrogant to assume that when you are under stress being charged by a dangerous animal that you will hit on the first (and only shot). And if you do hit, you are making the gross assumption that it will stop it; it may not.
The only intelligent thing to do is twofold:
1) Train. You NEVER rise to your expectations. You only fall to your level of training.
2) Get the right tools. Here is my suggestions:

AS44/41
