RE: Beretta/92/96/99 styled pistols
If its snakes you're after, do what I did. I live in rattlesnake/copperhead country and bought the double-barrel 410ga pistol made by Cobray. I'm not taking anything away from the Beretta or the Taurus, both are fine pistols. But $125 versus $400-500 will be easier on mom's wallet. Just my .02.
