Opinions on .45 ACP Rat Shot?

Popped this bastad over the weekend using my dad's .22 with rat shot. Was just curious if anyone has any experience using rat shot from a semi auto .45

A dead snake is a good snake.
I would think that 45 rat shot probably won't have enough energy to cycle the slide. It's been a long time since I've shot rat shot from a handgun but most of the time it's pretty weak. I guess if you're willing to rack each round in individually it would probably be okay though.

I have an older S&W 5906 that I keep 9mm rat shot in at the camp and it cycles fine. It also had a spread of about 3' from 5' out so any poisonous devil that comes close will be hit 10 times out of 10.

The 9mm rat shot doesn't for sure. It will frick up a snake you just a to rack another in it
Nice kill

Did you measure how long that rattler was?

If you want it to cycle, you could always put a lighter recoil spring in it when using the rat shot. Just make sure not to shoot anything but light loads out of it with the lighter spring.

Sounds to me that you need a Judge

they make a .357 rat shot? I've seen .38 around. I've got a river .357 snubby that is a dust collector. Might have found a use for it finally.
