CCI 3790 Pest Control Shotshell 9mm Luger 53gr #12 Shot 10rd

The CCI 3790 Pest Control Shotshell delivers effective small pest elimination in a standard 9mm Luger cartridge format. This specialized ammunition transforms any 9mm handgun into a close-range pest control tool without requiring additional equipment or modifications.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 9mm ball ammunition, this shotshell contains multiple #12 shot pellets that spread upon firing, creating a wider impact pattern ideal for small targets. The 53-grain payload provides sufficient energy for pest elimination while reducing over-penetration risks in residential settings. Standard 9mm ammunition often passes through small targets, while this shotshell design ensures energy transfer where needed.

Key Features

• Multiple #12 shot pellets create effective spread pattern for small pest control
• 53-grain total payload weight optimized for 9mm Luger chamber pressure
• Standard 9mm Luger dimensions fit all 9mm handguns and carbines
• Reduced penetration compared to solid projectiles minimizes property damage
• CCI brass cases provide reliable extraction and feeding
• Non-corrosive primers ensure consistent ignition in various conditions
• Boxed in convenient 10-round quantities for practical use

This ammunition excels in barn, garage, and property pest control situations where standard ammunition would be impractical. The shot pattern typically spreads to 6-8 inches at 10 feet, making target acquisition less critical than with single projectiles. Reliability remains consistent across semi-automatic and revolver platforms, though semi-automatics may require manual cycling depending on the firearm's action strength.
