DoubleTap Snake Shot .45 ACP shotshell ammunition (part no. 45ASS20) turns a big-bore carry pistol into a close-range pest and snake gun without changing firearms. DoubleTap Ammunition loads this shell with fine shot instead of a single bullet, giving campers, farmers, and hikers who carry .45 ACP an effective option against snakes and small pests. For a .45 already riding on your hip, this handgun ammunition adds a purpose-built utility round.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .45 ACP, a widely carried big-bore semi-auto pistol cartridge.
• The load is a shotshell pattern rather than a single bullet, spreading fine shot for close-range pest and snake defense.
• The case is brass, giving reliable extraction and easy visual identification among standard rounds.
• Each box holds 20 rounds, enough to keep several loaded for the trail or the barn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is snake shot effective for personal defense against people? No, shotshell loads like this one are built for small pests and snakes at very close range and are not a substitute for a standard defensive bullet against a human threat.

Will this shotshell cycle reliably in a semi-auto .45 pistol? Shotshell loads can be less reliable in cycling semi-autos than a standard bullet; many shooters load one in the chamber of a carry pistol or use them primarily in revolvers.
