I had one with the long barrel. I wasn't real impressed with either the 410 or the 45 out of it. At 10 yards I shot at a quail with it and all it did was ruffle its feathers and it ran off. At 25 yards, the 45 LC was not very accurate. All in all, the gun ended up costing me about $100 since that is about what I lost on trading it back in on something else. A shotgun shoots shot better, and a rifle or pistol shoots bullets better. The Judge didn't do either very well imho. For a close up, getting car jacked type of situation, maybe its a good idea.
