[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1018737, member: 5412"] I have the stainless 3"X 3". I wanted it because in my mind the 3" rounds would have more shot than the 2 1/2" models. I shot 000 buck 3" ammo from 3 different manufacturers, and was sadly disapointed. The soft lead balls, flatten before ever leaving the shell, and fly all over the place. Very little penetration. The shotshell rounds in #4 and #6 were all over the place too, with little penetration. Reason is, the shells are designed to be shot in a full length shotgun. They don't get the pressure to build up speed, and the wad is designed to disengage from the shot immediatly. With the rifling in the end of the barrel to make it legal, it was pretty innefective past 5 yards. Now winchester, federal and Remington are making shells specifically designed to be shot in the Taurus judge. Currently they are only offered in the 2 1/2" length. If they will bring out a 3" version, nobody is talking right now. With a new quick burn powder, they are advertising 1200fps(I'll have to look at the box when I get home to confirm this.) in both the #4 shotshell, and the 000 buck. the 000 buck is now a copper coated hard lead, and at 10 yds they hold in a 2" group. I saw a demo on the net where they got almost 10" of penetration in ballistic gellatin. Now we are talking a SD round making 4 wound channels. The #4 shotshell round I have not tested yet, as I just got a box of it yesterday, and have not shot it. I will, very soon, and report back on it. so to answer your question, the 3" model does not really have an advantage over the 2 1/2 model at this time, as far as firepower, and won't unless the ammo folks come out with the 3" round designed for handguns. I did get two boxes of .45 Colt Leverevolution yesterday as well. I have lots of shooting to do on my days off.:D [/QUOTE]
