I shot a Taurus Judge today with .410 shells. What a blast. Really fun to shoot.
My buddy has a polymer frame model with low round count as a night stand gun. No issues so far.
Has anyone seen any test results for the new .410 self defense ammo?
Personally I don't like the Judge because if I should have to shoot someone (God forbid), it is not my intent that they survive the experience. 410 wouldn't be in my top 10 choices of round, and .45 Colt is kind of pricy.
This gun reminds me of my last visit to the doctor. She said "you are overweight." I said "I want a second opinion." She said "Well, you're ugly too."
I see it as a "fad gun" and suggest, if one's intent for its use involves actual self defense, that a well established conventional weapon be your choice.
As to "point and shoot," better do some patterning at social distances. Shotguns have much tighter patterns than most folks realize.
Not trying to be the "Grinch" here. The Judge in its various (repugnant) forms is fun to shoot. It just isn't the best choice of self defense weapon.
