The CCI Big 4 Shotshell 9mm Luger delivers effective close-range stopping power through specialized #4 shot payload design. This specialized ammunition transforms standard 9mm pistols into versatile pest control and close-quarters defense tools. Each 45-grain cartridge contains multiple #4 shot pellets that spread upon firing, creating a wider impact pattern than traditional ball ammunition.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 9mm ball ammunition, the Big 4 shotshell uses a plastic capsule containing #4 shot pellets instead of a single projectile. This design creates multiple wound channels and increased stopping power at close distances, typically within 10-15 feet. The shot pattern expands to approximately 3-4 inches at 7 yards, making precise aim less critical in high-stress situations while reducing over-penetration risks in confined spaces.Key Features
