I tested some snake shot (CCI) in a 9mm Glock (G19) and in a .40 (G23). Surprisingly (to me) the ammo cycled pretty well.

The 9mm failed to insert a new cartridge about every 8-9 shots. The .40 never did malfunction.

I would definitely recommend testing snake shot ammo in your particular handgun. And I agree that revolvers should be more reliable for shooting this type of ammo.

The other benefit of using a .38/.357 revolver is that CCI snake shot loads in this caliber contain #9 shot. (The 9mm loads contain #12 shot.) Either should do fine on a snake, but I'd prefer the #9 shot.
