Come On 1FASTC4, andNavyLT.....Give it a rest.
The Taurus Judge has been and is marketed as an anti car jacking and close in personal defense weapon.
Lets see; 1FASTC4says"The .410 buck has poor penetration and is not a good self defense round."
In the box O truth test O_P could not find .410 00 Buck in anything but a 4 inch shell so he made his own by cutting down the 4 inch shell. So you are basing your conclusion not on a factory round, but one "re-manufactured by O_P.
When Taurus advertised the gun they recommend #4 BB rounds....again as an anti carjack round that will be used at 6 feet of less.
Now NavyLTyou say you own one, "But I wouldn't count on itfor self defense, too inacurate for me both with .410 and .45 LC."
You are wanting accuracy at 6 feet?
I don't know about you but at 6 feet I can probably hit a bad guy with my eyes closed.
The other guys on this thread, like this gun and want one, why are you raining on their parade?
There are a lot of guns that I see no need for and don't want one of, some I have shot and many that I have not, BUT it is just not cool to go aroundbad mouthing stuff.
The Judge is a niche gun, It has a use and for that use it is well suited.
I don't own one or want one, but it is not my place to rain all over those who do.
By the way it is way fun to shoot clays with a handgun......Just ask O_P
