Has anyone pickled a fryer?

I always have the same problem with my pimentos. I lose tons of them to insect damage before they even turn red. This season, I've already tossed at least 25 Sheepnose peppers. I grow these mostly for pickling. My Melrose peppers, which are a frying variety, don't have this damage. I guess the bugs don't like them as much. But I was thinking, if people pickle banana peppers, why not frying peppers? They're both pretty thin walled, just different shades of green. Both red when fully ripe. Has anyone tried this? If so, what were your results? Thanks!
