Product Overview

CCI Shotshell #9 Shot is a shot load for .45 Colt made for varmints. In place of a bullet it carries a plastic capsule of number 9 shot, and the 333 ft-lbs at the muzzle is the figure for the whole charge, not for one pellet. It leaves the barrel at 1,000 fps.

Shot begins to spread as soon as it leaves the muzzle, so this is a few-paces load for snakes and pests around a camp or a barn. In the same revolver it pushes back far less than a solid bullet load does, and it chambers in any .45 Colt.

If you're cross-shopping, Underwood 135-grain Extreme Defender is the other .45 Colt load built around speed instead of bullet weight, a fluted copper solid at 1,410 fps that Underwood sells for defense.

Strengths
  • The only .45 Colt load that throws shot instead of a bullet, for snakes and pests at a few paces
  • Very little recoil, so a light single-action revolver stays easy to hold on target
  • Chambers in any .45 Colt revolver, so a trail gun needs no second cartridge
Limitations
  • The pattern opens fast, which keeps the useful distance down to a few yards
  • An aluminum case, which cannot be reloaded
