Shot shells in Lugers? - Page 2

I have killed some diamondback rattle snakes with them in a Luger, wont cycle the action so dont miss. The 45 acp version will cycle and load the next one as I remember. Also have used 44s in a Charter Arm Bull dog, they work on snakes too.

I try to leave the desert rattlesnakes alone if they will do the same for me. Once they get into my walled off back yard, then that is a different situation. Most are not aggressive like the water moccasins were in Alabama.

I can honestly say that I have never attempted to pet a rattlesnake, I guess the urge just never struck!!

Now that you mention it.....it does say a lot!!! I was prepared to jump out if the plane quit flying, but I sure as Hell wasn't going to jump unless it did.
