Redesigned Taurus Judge

[peachhead]

I think I was kind of interested when they first came out then I had the opportunity to actually see one in person and it is one more big chunky revolver... not to my taste....

Yes they are.

22LR shotshell on Copperhead out of a S&W kit gun. It never moved after the shot.

Also didn't blow away part of the house.

Couple of years ago I shot a copper head with some 38 snake shot but I did not feel comfortable with the out come and so I followed it up with a 357 magnum round... might have been a bit over kill but it did do the job.

The judge is big and heavy but can work as a farm/truck/car/house gun. The federal 4-pellet 000 buckshot load is 4 multiple hits and has decent penetration. And worst case it’s a 5-shot .45 LC revolver.

But other than a home/vehicle gun for me it’s way too big. They make a public defender version which is about the same size as a sp-101 and shoots the same loadings which I think better for carry. They also make a polymer version of it.

Not true the public defender just has a short barrel but it's huge compared to an sp-101.

Just a random thought. I wonder if you could turkey hunt with the long-barrel version using .410 TSS loads?

It achieves the top three objectives for the new design:
1. Build it cheaper;
2. Produce it for less money;
3. Reduce the per-unit cost.

Home run, Taurus...
