I have the public defender model I picked up cheap at a pawn shop. Shoots the Winchester 2 1/2" home defense rounds well to about 10 yards. I have some hand loads for the 45lc. I can keep them on target to 20 yrds no problem. I usually just have mine in the truck. Good gun for close range.

Why is it made is simple. It's exactly what NoMercy said it is. A nightstand gun. It is a great sidearm for its intended purpose. Self defense at home or in camp or on woodland hikes. Also useful for a person that doesn't handle handguns well. Because at 10' or 12' across a room loaded with Federal buck/bird shot you don't have to be very accurate to deliver a lethal dose of lead.
I believe "this" to be true - for most people anyway !

I have two Judges, one for home defense and the other as a snake gun during bow season. I load #4 shot 410's and two .45d colt rounds. I put them in a shoulder mounted rig.

Very light and comfortable. The recoil isn't that bad with the light weight model.
