Availability: In Stock
DoubleTap Ammunition Snake Shot .38 Special combines shot and solid in a single round designed for revolver shooters who need effective close-range defense against snakes and other threats. This 20-round box gives you a unique dual-purpose load: a payload of #9 birdshot paired with a 50-grain hardcast solid projectile. The shot pattern stays tight because the #9 pellets don't engage the revolver's rifling, eliminating centrifugal spread that typically opens patterns in rifled barrels. That compressed shot cluster, backed by the hardcast penetrator underneath, delivers genuine stopping power in the field while keeping recoil manageable enough for controlled follow-up shots.
Snake shot ammunition fills a real gap for hunters, property owners, and outdoor workers who carry a .38 revolver but don't want to trade accuracy and penetration for shot capability. The hardcast solid does the heavy lifting—cutting and penetrating on contact—while the birdshot adds a dynamic spread that increases your hit probability at typical defensive distances. Whether you're dealing with rattlesnakes around camp or in timber, or protecting livestock in remote areas, Snake Shot gives your .38 Special a fighting chance against threats that standard rounds weren't designed for.
Each round is loaded to gentle recoil levels, which matters when you're shooting from a stand or need steady aim under pressure. At 130 grains total payload, these loads are balanced for typical .38 Special revolvers without the heavy thump of full-power centerfire rounds. Load these into your cylinder alongside standard .38 ammo, or keep a cylinder dedicated to Snake Shot for situations where a shot round makes tactical sense.

Yes. Because the #9 shot doesn't engage the revolver's rifling, it won't experience centrifugal spread the way it would tumbling through a rifled bore. This produces a much tighter, more predictable pattern than traditional buckshot loads in handguns.
Snake Shot is built for close-range defense against snakes, pest control, and field work where a shotgun pattern combined with penetrating power gives you an edge. It's commonly carried by outdoors workers, hunters, and property owners in areas with venomous snakes.
Yes. These rounds are loaded to gentle recoil levels designed to keep muzzle rise low and allow fast, accurate follow-up shots if needed. The 130-grain total payload is moderate for .38 Special handguns.
Each box contains 20 rounds of .38 Special Snake Shot, loaded with #9 birdshot and a 50-grain hardcast solid.
