    I don't recall shooting any small rodents with shotshells but I've killed many dozens of Prairie Rattlers with shotshells in 22 LR, 22 Mag, 38 Special and 44 Special. I would say 6-8' is about it if...

    I carry a handgun most days (around the farm) and am always on the lookout for an "even better" packin' pistol.

    I first carried a flat-gate Ruger in 22LR.

    Speer makes 9MM shot cartridges and has for many years. They are filled with #12 shot and perform about like a 22 mag shot cartridge -- which is just fine at 6-7 feet on a Prairie Rattler.
