You can purchase .45 Colt, .45Auto, .38SPL and a few other revolver cartridges loaded with a birdshot shell in place of the bullet.

Called “ratshot”. Appropriate in this case.

"Haven’t heard of .45 rounds filled with birdshot before..." Shotshells are made for a number of revolver chamberings including .45 Colt...
...From the article it sounds like he used a Taurus Judge, which is a revolver designed to fire both .45 Colt rounds and .410 shotgun shells...

Yes, they they have aluminum casings and blue covering over the shot-shell loads....Expensive little buggers for 6 or 8 of them in a special pack.....I forget the name, but they’d damn sure make your nuts kick up and yell, I betcha!

I think Remington had a product a while ago which was a .45 ACP with an elongated, crimped case that contained shot of various small diameters. They marketed it as “Snake Shot”.
I guess if you were hiking and wanted protection from snakes or the ability to defend yourself against other creatures, having the capability of loading shot or slugs into your .45 would be useful.

The revolver will also chamber .410 shotgun shells. That is probably what he used.

It was probably a Taurus “Judge”, shoots .45 LC (Long Colt) or .410 gauge shotshells.

My first pistol was a .22 that my father gave me. It stayed loaded with what I called rat shot for me to use in the barns and silos when I saw a rat. I could do my chores and carry it easily instead of carrying my 14guage around while I worked. I musta been 12 years old.......
