Personally I prefer an 18" barrel as a minimum on a single shot, and 20" is more ideal for me, and still a very short gun. And, "most ideal" for me, is the 22" barrel on my Springfield carbine. I think "they" got it right when they decided on that length for the Trapdoor carbine. But, there is kind of a "cool factor" with that gun. "Cool and novel looking rifle".
Do you not reload? A 300 grain bullet not loaded as hot as one could get it, which seems to be the trend in .45-70 these days, would have little recoil, and still be very powerful.
