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.

A friend has one, and I've fired it a few times. Shot both 45 Colt and
.410 shells with it. Lots of recoil, decent accuracy. It didn't
excite me enough to consider one.

My buddy's wife bought a S&W Governor for her first handgun. Like the
Judge, it shoots 45 cal and .410 shells. I tried it out at the range
shortly after she got it. Nice gun.

This guy does a review on the Judge vs the Governor. He obviously isn't
a big fan of the former.

Humm S&W is better than Taurus ... Shocking ;-)
I think the actual street price probably reflects that. He was talking
about $600 and change for the taurus and they are $300-400 depending
on where you buy one. Not sure about the S&W

Personally I would pay about $200-250 used if someone was slapping me
in the face with it but the more I have thought about it, I am not
sure why. It would really just be a novelty for shooting at clay birds
at the electricians shoot. I think I may take my frontier scout next
time I go and see in a .22 shot load will even break a bird.

Maybe at 10' the bird will break. Could reload the shot shell with pistol
powder.
