Mr Bond, I have not yet fired my Snake Slayer IV. Maybe life will permit this soon. I did show it to my son, a 24+ yr special forces veteran on his way back on deployment and he loved it! I can’t wait to try it. The Craftsmanship is awesome. I have a carry permit but do not plan on carrying it very much. I bought it for snakes, it seems like it will be perfect. I’m not sure which is the right .410 shell to buy. I cannot find the CCI ammo here in Savannah. - Alan Y
