CCI's 9mm shotshells turn your handgun into a practical short-range scattergun with a load built specifically for pest management. Instead of a traditional bullet, you get 53 grains of #12 shot housed in a rigid plastic capsule that breaks apart as it travels down your barrel. This design creates a useful pattern at close distances without the over-penetration issues you'd get from standard ammunition.
The plastic shot capsule is the key to how this works. When fired, it breaks on the rifling and lets the pellets spread naturally. A flexible base wad works to prevent gas blow-by, keeping the load running smoothly and consistently. You're getting reliable CCI primers with every round, so you can count on consistent ignition from the first shot to the last.
These rounds come packed in reusable 10-round pocket packs, so they're easy to carry and store. The aluminum casing keeps things lightweight. Real-world use shows they work well on snakes, rodents, and other small critters in tight spaces where precision matters. People who work property lines, camp in snake country, or deal with pest issues at home find these fill a specific need that regular 9mm ammunition can't match.
You're looking at a short-range tool. Loaded to around 900 feet per second, these aren't designed for distance or power. Some semi-automatic handguns may need manual slide operation between shots since the load doesn't generate much recoil. They run fine in most 9mm platforms when loaded directly into the chamber, though the plastic capsule won't survive magazine feeding in many pistols. Keep them simple, keep them in close, and they'll do the job they were made for.
Yes, they'll cycle in most 9mm semi-auto handguns, but there are two important things to know. The plastic capsule won't survive magazine feeding, so you'll need to load directly into the chamber with a round already in the gun. Also, the light recoil may not cycle the slide on some semi-autos, so you might need to manually work the action between shots.
These are really a close-range option, typically effective inside 10-20 feet depending on your specific firearm and how the pattern spreads. They were designed for snakes and pests in tight spaces, not distance work. Beyond 20 feet, you lose the pattern density that makes them useful for small targets.
No, these cases are marked NR (Not Reloadable) for safety reasons. The aluminum construction and specific design of the capsule won't safely handle the reloading process. Attempting to reload them creates serious safety hazards.
The #12 shot creates a useful spread pattern at close range and delivers consistent results on snakes, rodents, and small varmints. Multiple reviews and field reports show they're effective for their intended purpose, especially when you're in situations where you need precision and want to minimize collateral damage to structures or surroundings.
