Gotta ask please what is a pumpkin gun I have no clue???
I suppose it's a gun for shooting at pumpkins? A 580 is kind of small to make a gun to fire pumpkins. Usually those are about 50 feet long with a 12 or so inch bore. Pumpkins are pretty big so I don't think it would have to be extremely accurate. Should be doable.
Even though hard on powder it would still be a lot of fun. The concealable version could shoot hedge apples.
Some people live and learn but I mostly just live
you've got a "pumpkin" on top of your neck.
quiet rifles shooting heavy bullets at moderate velocities, sub-sonic, are designed for cracking pumpkins. this gun uses a long throated chamber and a 9 largo magazine for heavier bullets. 16" barrel 9X19 sub-sonic is quiet without a can, and will do 3-4" groups at 100 meters.

I just use my CAC9 on my short barreled Marlin Camp 9, but for pumpkins preferred my loud 1919/A4 in 8mm Mauser at pumpkin shoots!
