Handgun Shot Shells
Our new house sits on a lot a little over a half acre (~24,000 ft2) and is mostly covered with local vegetation that could be shelter to rats or snakes or whatever vermin that lives there. I haven’t seen any vermin on our visits to the new place, just some cottontails, quail and other small fuzzy things. In case there are any snakes and such, I figure that a magazine with some of these would be the preferred load around the house.
I see these in both .45 and 9mm on the internet. Here’s the specs:
.45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol), CCI Shotshell, 117 Grains of #9 shot.
9mm Luger (9×19mm), CCI Shotshell, 64 Grains of #12 shot.
- Rigid plastic shot capsules that breaks on the rifling.
- Flexible base wad prevents gas blow-by.
- Reliable CCI primers.
- Residue removes with normal cleaning methods.
I’m pretty sure that this ammo would be illegal in Antigunifornia. I deduce this because of their absurd attitude that the Taurus Judge, which can shoot 410 gauge shotgun shells, is considered a “short barreled shotgun.” This ammo would convert your .45 or 9mm pistol to a “short barreled shotgun.” Ridiculous.

That looks like a fun excuse to open-carry, or just carry.
