CCI Shotshell 9mm #12 Shot 53gr Pest Control Ammo

Description

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.

What Makes This Shotshell Different

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.

Built for the Work Ahead

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.

What to Expect at the Range

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.
