I've killed several rattlers with Speer .38 shot loads from my 2 1/2 on Mod 19 S&W ,and with a Mod 37 airweight.
The short barrel guns are better for this as they seem to impart less spin to the shot and give better patterns without the donut hole.
However it normally requires two shots with this load and closer to the varmint than I really like to be.
I always kind of liked the idea of the little "snake charmer" .410 single barrel,but never got around to getting one.

snake gun.....
Lead shot should not engage the rifling like a lead bullet.

What about a .22lr pistol like a Walther P22?
I'm slightly surprised by the performance of the cartridge, but I'm very surprised that you were able to get within 10 feet of a feral cat.Quote:

Many folks think that these revolvers have the almost the same power as a shotgun and convincing them otherwise is impossible. Notice that the major holster makers now offer variants for the judge tpye--so it must be a hot seller.
About shooting snakes, the competent handgunner should have no trouble hitting a snake. All aren't on the ground. Some are in bushes at waist level and in trees, and those in willow trees will often drop in a boat as it passes under. Most of these are the very mean Natrix genus members which are not poisonous but do hurt like hell when they bite.
i had to take care of a small snake infestation at the lake house this past weekend. i never had to deal with snakes before and wasn't quite sure how to handle it. i used what i had.....12 ga. w/ bird shot. my vote is a 12ga. platform of your choice. weather its a sbs, full size double barrel, or what ever,.... you cant beat the versatility of the ammunition. you get one weapon suitable for anything you could come across in the woods. provided you pack the right kind of ammunition . snakes end up like this....... you usually don't find all of the snake by the time its over.Quote:

The cat got into the basement of a friends house. He tried for about an hour to get out and then called me.Quote:

Right after they came out I worked a table at a beer/cigar show for a dealer friend of my buddy. (Showing not selling:eek:, trying to drum up interest in the shop)
We had the Judge along with a Barrett M82A1 and a LWRC REPR among other things very nice guns. Somewhere around $15,000 worth of NICE hardware.
Most popular:
1. Judge (by at least a 2-1 margin)
2. Sig with a goofy rainbow oil pattern (I don't remember the model)
3. Barrett
Only one person asked about the REPR, and maybe two about the HK MK 23.
People were trying to buy the Judge from us. :no:
Interesting, many of the women seemed more interested in the Barrett. Including one of the beer "Fraulien" models.:D
