I think before I mentioned an encounter with a snake on my way to the post 
office.   Problem with pistols, and fear when about to be attacked, is 
accuracy.   If snakes are your problem, I recommend rounds that are filled 
with fine shot, such as bird shot.   Problem with these in a semi-auto, such 
as most 9mm pistols, is that there is not enough blowback to cycle the next 
round, which leaves you with, essentially, a single shot pistol.   Far better 
a revolver, loaded with 5 alternating rounds of shot and slug, with the 
hammer on an empty chamber.   Shot first, for little varmints, and then slug 
second, if you miss, or for varmints of the larger, or two legged, variety.   
You also then have follow-up shots, if necessary.

I dunno, that's just not Bev.   I more envision two holsters with hog leg 
revolvers, .44 magnum single action.  Then she can draw them both at the same 
time on the snake and growl, "Back off, varmint!"  or "Say your prayers, you 
pointy fanged galoot!"  A sort of Yosemite Bev.
