The Box O' Truth #41 - The Taurus Judge Vs. The Box O' Truth - Page 1
Another review of the Judge. It might be interesting as a "fun" gun, but I would never want to stake my life on a .410 shell (especially out of a pistol length barrel) unless I had no other caliber options. You will probably get more penetration out of a .32acp or .380acp. It looks impressive when shooting a watermelon or jug of water, but.....
If I were to carry one for self defense I would load it up with .45 colt rounds. If I was going to do that, I might as well carry a gun more suited to the purpose.
That being said, if I had the money, I might still like to have one just for kicks.
Some guy on the internet shooting water juggs said it wasn't good enuff
really...now i gotta sell mine
Even loaded with birdshot the judge would tear someones face off.
it would still be a good "fun gun" to have.
Maybe if you stick it in their face when you pull the trigger...
Birdshot is for little birds. If I am going to shoot someone, I want it to penetrate their heart/lungs/spine whatever, not just inflict a nasty fleshwound. Some .410 birdshot isn't going to do that. It looks impressive when you shoot paper, fruit, or a water jug. But even 3 pieces of 00 buck out of a 4" barrel won't penetrate as deep as a heavier .380 acp. And even a .410 slug weighs about only 96 grains. Might as well keep that Judge loaded with .45 colt for self defense. Like I said, it would still be a good "fun gun" to have.
