Yes harder than a 38,but want to take its head off not get it mad.
Why do you need to take its head off? Isn't dead good enough? A .38 powered load of shot to the head is going to kill any snake dead, Dead, DEAD!
As for actual carrying no vehicle born carry,as not for 2 legged varmits as in actual concealed.And taurus does make a 3 in chamber version for about twice the money,however the 2 1/2 in with match ammo would be fairly docile i would think with the pistol weighing 36 oz
You're still talking about a gun that weighs over two pounds! That's a fairly hefty load of ordinance to carry around. And while it's heavy, consider the fact that a .410 shotgun weighs almost three times as much, so there's a lot more mass to absorb recoil. A Judge is going to give your hands and wrists a work-out, even if you can find match ammo that functions in the gun.
For those who wish to conceal one say under a robe they make a small frame version.
And a small frame version is just plain nuts.
And they are a five shot,not standard six shooter due to large caliber,rather odd looking long cyl as well.
And would hope tio never ever use it even on a cottonmouth,just have it handy if needed.
I look on a personal defense handgun as an insurance policy. I hope I never need to use it, but should the need arise, I want it there and handy.
All mute however at 500 bucks,just like the thought.
And that's why I brought up the .38 for $250. Not only is the handgun more manageable, but it's more affordable. Plus the ammo for a .38 is a LOT cheaper than .45 long colt.
If I obtain one will be big caiber 44,45,45lc as want a lot of bbs in it.I can handload to a level it works at ten ft and lil felt recoil due to heavy gun.
But that's just it, you don't need a big caliber. You need something that is controllable, affordable and carryable! Few .44, .45 or .45 long colt fit that bill.
Desert eagle would quailfy but they to are very expensive.
LOL, just a bit. If you can find one for under $800, you're doing well
I used to own a snakle charmer in 410,mossberg pistol grip was nice to shoot,didnt weigh much more.Canot however put that in a glove box either in the boat or seat of the truck.
Keeping one in the rod locker would just deteriate it.And most likly think im nuts trying to get a carry permit for a shotgun.
The Snake Charmer shotgun was a great little camp gun, but you're right, it wasn't practical other than a "behind the seat" gun…
I still think a .38 revolver would be the ticket. I do know of a semi-compact 9mm semi-auto that's for sale for $159.00 (brand new) and I think you can buy 9mm birdshot rounds.
