I am looking for something in snake control. I live in an area with many venomous snakes and need something to carry in the woods to handle them. Probably within ten yards would be my maximum shooting distance.
I read reviews about snake shot and the more I looked into it I am leaning towards the 410 shot shell. I don't know if I am writing of the snake shot to quickly, if you have had any experience with it please let me know
I went on to look at the Bond Arms models, Taurus Judge and the Smith and Wesson Governor, from what I read about the Bond Arms is that the trigger pull is extremely heavy, also only having two shots is a down side. As far as the Judge I heard that the rifling throws the shot into too big of a spread and was wondering if the smith is the same way? I want something small and light, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. (Please be detailed)

Thank you all for you help. Now I am thinking about using a .38 with CCI shotshell. I already have a snub nose and am wondering if that barrel would be long enough to build up enough energy or should I look into getting a 4 inch or greater length barrel? Also this may be a dumb question but would the BBs from the shotshell mess with my rifling in ANY way?
