Anyone own one of these? I like the idea that the S&W will fire the .45 ACP. The Taurus, from what I
see, is limited to the .45 Colt, as far as .45 caliber goes.

Anyone? Who knows, maybe those damn pythons will work their way up here!
I have that Judge - the 2.5" model. It's a great little gun for home
protection or snakes, too! It will shoot the .45 Colt or the .410
shotgun shells. Go for it! They aren't that expensive.

I'm wondering if the .45ACP capability of the S&W is worth it. How hard is .45 Colt to come by. I
sure don't ever see it in my favorite, most beloved, WalMart store.
