I'm thinking about getting some shot shells for my M&P 9mm for critter control around the house. I've never used shotshells before and hoped you guys could answer some questions for me.
Are they bad for my gun?
Are they powerful enough to cycle the action on my M&P 9mm properly when shot?
Are there any certain types or brands of shotshell ammo that I should look for or stay away from?
What's the effective "danger zone" behind my target when shooting shotshells? Is it safe to shoot towards a highway that's 1000 feet or more behind my target with no backstop? Or course I'd never dream of doing this with real ammo, but I'm wondering if it's safe to assume the shotshells always stop before 1000 feet.
