It is more intended to be carried in a car. I think if you were attacked it would just piss the attacker off. It has a TERRIBLE pattern.

Nick, your not forced to use the .410 shell. You can use 45 long colt for ccw.

I suppose if you had a baddie in the hall way and not exactly shure where exactly he is then you could just bang away with the .410 shot sheels



LOL I R not serious

i honestly do not understand why so many find that thing appealing...

its not good at anything other than maybe fun on the range...

concealed carry?? come on..better off using it as a club IMO...patterns cannot be impressive past a few feet...

and i cant see 45LCs being accurate as they got the long cylinder to bounce around through then get slammed into the rifling...

shot and buckshot cant pattern great due to the rifling...

the size and bulk even on the smallest versions is bigger than your typical 38 or 357 suitable for concealed carry....

i just dont get it...but tons of guys are interested in them...and some even actually like them!?!?!

to each their own i guess...i just have no use for that thing...other than maybe a paper weight...

I agree that it is a GREAT idea. I just wish another manufacturer would run with it (S&W). I have had two bad experiances with Taurus revolvers, or I would have one myself.

People who have had problems with Taurus complain loudly on the internet. People who have good experiences tend to just stay out of the fight.

When someone has a problem with a Smith or Ruger and complains on the internet, everyone bashes them. Huh.

I own two Taurus revolveds, a Model 85 38spl and a Model 627 41mag Tracker Titanium. Both guns are tight, accurate, and reliable. The only work I needed to do with a Wolf spring kit on the 85.

My brother-in-law bought an 85 at the same time and it had a bur he had to have filed off to time properly. Of course I have a Smith that had a flaw in the hand creating the same problem.

Do not let Taurus put you off, I would not buy their semis but their revolvers have done well by me. Test it before you buy as you should any gun.

Regarding the Judge, I have no doubt it is fun and a buddy just got one last week so I'll soon find out. However for self-defense you want stopping power and nothing coming out of a 410 shotshell has it. If you want to shoot 45LC there are better guns to do that in. If you want it for the fun factor go for it. If you are specifically looking for a carry gun there are better options.
