Doubletap Ammunition 9Mmss20 Snake Shot 9Mm 20 Per Box/50 Case
Double Tap's 9mm snake shot ammunition combines defensive capability with close-range varmint control in a single round. This hybrid load pairs a 95-grain jacketed hollow point with #9 shot pellets, creating a specialized round that handles both two-legged threats and unwanted snakes or small game in tight quarters. The hollow point expands to approximately .53 inches and penetrates 10–12 inches in ballistic gelatin, making it suited for situations where overpenetration is a concern—like home defense in shared spaces or densely populated areas.
The snake shot component gives you a legitimate alternative to reaching for a firearm when faced with a serpent on the porch or in the shed. Unlike buckshot or standard defensive loads, this payload keeps energy focused at close range, reducing the risk of over-penetrating walls or striking unintended targets beyond your immediate threat. It's a practical choice for rural property owners, campers, or anyone whose defensive strategy needs to account for both human and animal threats without compromise.
Each box contains 20 rounds, sold in cases of 50 boxes. If you live or work in snake country and want a defensive load that doesn't force you to choose between personal protection and varmint control, this is worth a serious look.
