[QUOTE="LBnM, post: 691958, member: 817"] I grew up near, and still frequent, the woods of SE Oklahoma. There we have [B]lots[/B] of Cottonmouth and Copperheads and quite a few Rattlesnakes. At certain times of the year Cottonmouth can be very aggressive and Copperheads are frequently downright nasty in coming after you. Not always, but I have had many experiences of this. In the yard I always just used a hoe or shovel. However, I spend a lot of time in the woods so always have a firearm of some sort with me, but rarely a hoe. I have used whatever I happened to be carrying at the time. One of my favorites for a long time was a S&W629 with CCI shotshells. That was until it took all 6 rounds to stop a particularly nasty Copperhead. There wasn't much left of him but he was still coming after me. I picked up a 3"bbl 2.5" chambered Judge not too long ago and have already used it twice this year on close proximity poisonous snakes in the deep woods. I think even if I were not thinking of snakes I would have one of these because they are just so much fun to shoot. Large shot leaves a lot of holes in a fairly close pattern but birdshot or skeet loads work great. I was also pleasantly surprised how accurate the .45 Colt's were fired from this gun. I bought a decent holster and don't even know it's there. The stainless ones seemed a little heavy but I got the lightweight model and it's great. [/QUOTE]
