"Addressing the problem of shootings by ban or confiscation of non-criminal's guns is like addressing the problem of rape by chopping off the Johnson of everyone who DIDN't rape anyone while not only leaving the rapists' equipment intact, but giving them free viagra to boot." --Me

i wouldn't worry about lead build up with as little as you are going to shoot it as it would have minimal outward pressure on the bbl. (heck, it could be steel shot for all I know)...and yes, the 45 is much better snake med over the 9.
I shoot low flying grackles at camp with mine.
If you are in deep woods and carry a 44mag, the 44spl ratshot is good too.

[QUOTE=Doc Glockster;1350008]I have used snake shot shells in various pistol calibers, but they seem woefully inadequate, hence the desire for a "hand cannon" with a little more punch in the shot shell department.
I have to disagree with pistol snake shot shell's being woefully inadequate for killing a snake a close range. I have seen a stray male cat that kept raping my 2 cats get dropped permanently by 1 shot of 44 mag shot shell from about 6 yards from my S&W 629. It kept coming back for 6 months and trying to scare it away didn't work; planned on scaring it away with the shot shell and was surprised by the result.
Regarding snakes; I only kill poisonous snakes (copperhead's and rattlers are the only 2 I have encountered) on my property as I have young children but shot shell makes QUICK work of a snake at close range. For snakes I have used 12 guage (buck shot and bird shot), 44 mag shot shell, .40 cal, 44 mag HP's and a BB gun. All were extremely effective except the BB gun (BB gun took about 15 shot's on a copper head )
There is no comparison between the .45ACP and 9MM shot. The .45 is way better, the 9MM it’s even close. I also killed a feral cat with the .45ACP, one shot at about 10 feet was all it took. As far as feeding, I had one 1911 that would feed it fine and another that would not.
