From a gun buff, and concealed permit holder...
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.
