Just couldn't say no. It's a .410 Snake Charmer, stainless steel and new in the box for 88$.
I rationalized it by thinking I'd give it to the niece to carry when she comes up to visit the ranch, she has this thing about snakes. She'd never get within a mile of one, but it'd make her feel better.
But now that I've had a chance to play with it, aside from blasting close range slithery things, what good is it? I suppose I could use it as a very long single shot pistol, but it doesn't even have a bead sight. Granted, it's pretty handy and would fit under the truck seat with no problems. Ammo stores in the pistol grip/stock.
The ammo is another matter, 7$ a box for #4 shot. Assuming I can find some of the larger shot loads for it, what critters do you think this thing could be used on? Anyone else have one of these things?
