As a nightstand gun I see zero advantage of a Judge over my .44 Special 3" Taurus. The MAXIMUM range that it would see inside our home is about twenty feet or so. Magnum performance would not be required for any use in this application. Good .44 Special ammo like the Silvertips are entirely adequate. In this application the "shotgun effect" is meaningless. I make these Judgements (sorry) based on fifty years of shooting all types of guns and observing the repeated bushwah presented in the slick gun magazines.
As I said, I see zero advantage to the Judge/Governor in this particular application, and in fact fear that many would be conned into believing they have some sort of ninja death ray if they buy one. They may in fact be adequate, but they offer no specific advantage over a more conventional gun.
Again, JMHO and no relation to any piece intended for defense against bears or other applications.
