The Judge is junk. Poor workmanship and quality. The only handgun, that in my 60 years, where the barrel FELL OFF on the third shot. If you want a hand gun for play, the Judge is OK if you don't mind the price. If your life depends on what you carry, the Judge would be my last choice. As of May 15th of this year, we have had 21 Taurus returns to the factory. Not all were this model, but the quality is just not there.
