This is an old review but fascinating.

This review is right on. I bought this gun when we moved to our farm because we have so many copperheads and rattlesnakes here. It seemed to be the perfect answer until i shot with 410 ammo the first time. I almost took the gun back. Instead i bought a pack of the smallest paper plates and spent literally four days of shooting at the same plate before i figured out how to hit it and control the gun at the same time. Wasn't long before i got pretty good with it and comfortable enough to start reclaiming our land with my snake boots and snake chaps and governor strapped on. In year 1, i killed six rattlers and 36 copperheads. I missed a water mocassin but got him in year 2.

You cant miss the paper plate with either version of 45 loaded. Its a good gun to have and compact and light enough to work with on your hip or chest rig. It has become my favorite in many ways.
