9mm Flobert Garden Guns

I could see a 9mm garden gun being very useful in a rural pest control situation.
I would also lay in a supply of ammunition. Not something you can buy at a local hardware store.

Come to think of it, a 9mm cane gun would be ideal for a country gentleman...
 
Totally get the interest, I caved and bought an older Anschutz 1365 this year. Cool/unique, but from a sport-shooting perspective...pretty much everything else is more fun than a 9mm Flobert. lol Still, I'll reserve judgement after I've lined-up a barn pigeon with #8 and dropped the hammer. Kind of cool either way, but I don't see the caliber or the ammo making a big comeback. Surprised/pleased Chiappa is.

The ball ammo is kind of intriguing, expands/jams so bad in the chamber of the 1365 that you need a tool to dislodge the empties (enough force that the case slightly deforms) but they almost blow through both sides of an empty, blue, propane cyclinder. #8 shot @ the same distance only puts holes in the label/knocks the can over.
 
With the price and availability of ammunition, I don't see these as recreational shooters, but rather pest control tools.
 
Maybe the Turk's will figure this out and bring in cal's in 6mm, 45acp and others keeping it simple in product materials and mimic H&R's single shot Firearms.
 
North Sylva has two Chiappa Little Badgers and single-projectile ammunition.

I'm unaware of where one could get shotshells (currently).
