Been dealing with an itch for a while now. About a year or so ago, a good friend of mine snagged one of these up: .45Colt/.410 shot shell. Nice shooting (for a hand cannon).

Santa was nice to me this year, and Tuesday netted me a trip to Cabelas. And, one followed me home. Mine is also the Snake Slayer, in .45Colt/.410 shot shell (chambered in 3").

The fit/finish is very nice... and, made in the Great State of Texas to boot !! With a photo copy of my receipt, and a e-form filled out, I can get a spare barrel for 50% off! All of their barrels/calibers interchange onto both sized frames, and the two sizes of grips will fit on either sized frame too. I'm thinking a .357/.38 barrel as my second one. the .22lr and .22mag do not qualify for the 50% off special.

That's really neat RD, so's exactly how do you intend to carry that cannon?

They make an OWB cross-draw style holster I rather like. I'm contemplating whether I'm going to buy one, or make one. They also make a shoulder rig for them. Barrel on this one is 3.5" long, so, the whole rig isn't that big. A jacket pocket isn't too shabby either.

Ya shoot that little bugger dont cha know. I shoot my sidewinder couple times a month. Just for kicks i handed it to a range buddie other day. He's bout 77 yo with one bad eye. Took a few shots but he was hitting sticks in the dirt berm on the 25yd range. He impressed himself with that lil gun.

Have had one for a couple of years. Really like it. Last time I took it to a range the range master made a bee line over to ooh and aah over it. Keep it by the bed side in our 5th wheel loaded with 3" PDX-1 shells. In tight quarters like that doubt I could miss unless I pointed it at the floor or ceiling.

The extended grip makes it fit my hand really well.

I'm surmising there's a lot of nastiness behind those PDX1 shells... one of the reasons I opted for them in mine.

I think one of the main things folks need to "make friends with"... is that a gun that's comfy to shoot, isn't always comfy to carry. A gun that's comfy to carry, isn't always comfy to shoot. (Civilian/CCW, that is).

Agreed. Mines a night stand gun so don't want to be fumbling with, if I'm woken up. But it does fit in a coat pocket quite well.
