[RidgeRunner]

I should have never read this thread. I haven't seen a snake all year, and I live next to a swamp area of Beulah. I bet I see 6 next week. lol

No body's said it yet so I'll throw my snake slayer in the ring. Best snake gun is the one in your pocket when you see it. This little guy lives on my tractor or lawn mower or pocket when I'm walking the property. 2 CCI shot shells and 3 regular CCIs loaded and desantis holster holds 8 more. I keep 3 more shot and 5 regular in it. Maybe I'm just a lucky shot but I've hit more then a dozen snakes with this

Back in 2002 I killed a water moccasin in the yard of City Hall with a machete in broad daylight at rush hour. Nobody said a word to me. Welcome to the South. People understand around here. There ain't much here thats more hated than poisonous snakes and they are everywhere, not just in the woods.

I'm very fond of my 642A fox with rabies had taken over the dog out

There was a fox with rabies that took over the high school baseball dugout, sheriff came and saw situation and asked us parents who has a gun lol. Told us it would be easier for us to deal with it and he'll take the shots fired call because if he shoots there's all kinds of paper work............. I love FL lol

I’ve got an NAA Pug 22 mag but never tried it on a snake, I kind of prefer something that will scatter the shot.

As opposed to NY state, where most of my family lives. Back in the 90's there was a rabid bobcat that got into an elementary school somehow. Apparently, even law enforcement agencies are restricted from bringing firearms into schools. The local Chief LEO decided it wasn't enough of a threat to shoot it. So, they had to corral it into a cage wearing K9 training gear (Or so I was told.). The kids were locked down in their classrooms for the day. The official story was not only bullet ricochet, but contaminated bodily fluids were deciding factors in not allowing it to be shot. Again, that's the story I was told.

A regular occurrence in my neighborhood. My Taurus 85 with CCI shotshells is always with me. That ladder was only there for a day and a half before I was done with it, and it found a copperhead.

For everyday carry around the farm this is my go to gun, Gentlemen if you ever get the opportunity pick one of these up they are easy to carry and very accurate. I have been carrying this one in my Pocket on practically a daily basis for the last 8 to 10 years. It requires very little maintenance and the finish is holding up well.

Ouch. Lucky. **** Pro tip, the notches in the cylinder are hammer rests to prevent that. ALWAYS REST THE HAMMER IN THE NOTCH!

I meant the snake’s skin pattern. Good looking color.

 

[Rebel_Rider1969]

Did some testing today using my daily dagger and a 14lb spring. Ejected but Would not pick up the next round. Good pattern though, also knocked holes where the wad flew out. Need a lighter spring. Staggered 115gr and cci shot (9mm). Maybe a 13lb spring? Shot at +4 feet.

Hi nice pistol
Why did you shoot an oak snake he will eat his weight in vermin a week! And they are harmless to humans far more scared of you than you are of him.
