Who makes Snake shot?

Question

I have seen in stores shotshell for hand guns aka snake shot. Who makes it?

Answer 1

CCI makes pistol snake shot, as does glaser and magsafe.

Answer 2

CCI makes handgun shot-shells (AKA "snakeshot")
in most popular hand gun calibers: .22LR, .38 S&W Special, 9mm, .44, .45 etc.

Be aware they are only effective at very short range, In my experience 10-15 feet. And they do not provide enough recoil impulse to cycle semi-auto handguns. You have to manually operate the slide between shots.

I think they are best suited to revolvers and single shots.

However I can't imagine they are any better at dealing with snakes than a well place bullet of the same caliber.

In my opinion the best defense against snakes are bite-proof leggings (Cabela's or western outfitters) and a .20ga shotgun with bird loads.

Answer 3

CCI makes them. Depending on the caliber, I've seen 357, 44mag and 22 caliber.

Personally I prefer my 20 guage with 9 shot.

Answer 4

CCI makes a lot in various calibers, winchester also has a shot loading in 22 lr.

Answer 5

I do. Speer shot capsules with #9 shot and Blue Dot powder for my Ruger in .45 Colt. Not a lot of range, but really kills rats within a few steps of you.

Answer 6

I have used CCI's brand of shot shell in my single shot. They are too long to feed correcrly in my 10/22.

Answer 7

I have seen it for various calibers including 410 made by CCI

Answer 8

I am sure there are any number of mfgs of same; I always use CCI as that is what the store stocks. It is reasonably priced and works just fine.

Answer 9

cci is a top quality maker of this kind of ammo

Answer 10

CCI makes it, but you can buy components to load it yourself, relatively cheap.
