As for the firearm in question, I suppose it has appeal to someone who
collect ugly, oddball guns.

Talking about ugly oddball guns I had a fleeting notion of buying a
Judge but it passed when I read some of the reviews.
Other than novelty skeet shooting, I am not sure what I would do with
it.
As a self defense gun, it was roundly discounted. The .410 is inferior
to just about anything 9mm or above.


If I were going to carry again, I'd be interested in a Ruger LCR
revolver in .357 MAG with a five round cylinder.


.357 is a very capable self defense piece if you can hit anything with
it. (stressed, bad light etc)


Was at the range yesterday shooting the new S&W AR. Also took out the 1911
45. New AR great shooter. Almost dead on out of the box. Forgot how
abusive to the hand the 45 can be. One pinched finger and nicked thumb.
But was fun.



Which M&P did you get? I have no idea of what is "allowed" in California
these days in "black rifles." I like just about everything about my M&P
15-22 *except* the four-sided rail system...not that comfortable to hold
in the beer mug grip. I haven't done anything serious to customize my
"real" Colt AR-15. I have an optic for it but I still am enjoying
shooting out to 100 yards with the stock sights.
