Does anyone have any alternatives for the above linked pest rounds/shotshell for handguns? I had some of these sittin around and decided to test them in my gun cause i've never needed to use them before.. so i loaded up 10 shells and went outside. each shell caused a malfunction. most common was failure to chamber. they angled downward and got jammed while chambering. other times when the rounds DID chamber properly I got the stove pipe... eventually I ended up racking one, removing the mag, shooting. replace mag rack the slide remove mag shoot. that was the only way to effectively keep them from jamming after every round. I imagine due to the odd shape of the rounds its causing them to jam. or there isn't enough powder in them to make the slide go back all the way causing a half assed chambering which causes the jam and the stove pipe.. but yeah anyone know of any alternatives? I live out in the country and always carry when im outside and if i run across a copperhead or rattler these would be more ideal than carrying a 12 gauge around.
