CCI’s Shotshell 44 Special Ammo delivers 140 grains of #9 lead shot in a specialized capsule for close-range pest control. This is a practical choice for property owners, gardeners, or anyone needing to dispatch small varmints without over-penetration or excessive noise. We added this to our catalog in January 2026 based on consistent customer requests, and it’s proven reliable. Our staff notes: “This is the model we personally use in our shop demo Glock. Says enough.”
Stand-Out Features
- Controlled Pattern: The plastic capsule contains the shot, ensuring a consistent pattern for effective close-range use.
- Reduced Ricochet Risk: Lead shot disperses energy quickly, making it safer for use in barns or outbuildings compared to a solid projectile.
- Low Report: The 44 Special cartridge generates less noise than a full-power 44 Magnum, suitable for suburban or farm settings.
- CCI Reliability: Clean-burning primers and consistent powder charges from a major manufacturer you can trust.
- Practical Packaging: 200-round case provides a solid supply for seasonal pest control needs.

Your Questions Answered
What is the effective range of this shotshell ammo?
This CCI Shotshell is designed for very close-range work, typically 10-15 feet maximum. Beyond that, the pattern spreads too thin for reliable pest control. It’s intended for snakes, rats, or similar pests inside structures or at point-blank range.
Will this ammunition cycle in my semi-automatic pistol?
No. Shotshell ammunition is generally not recommended for semi-automatic firearms due to potential feeding and cycling issues. It is designed for use in revolvers chambered in .44 Special. Always consult your firearm’s manual first.
Is this suitable for self-defense?
No. This is pest control ammunition. The shot payload lacks the penetration required for defensive use against human threats. It is specifically designed for dispatching small animals at close range.
