Here's an extra "s" in case someone might need it.

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)

I imagine it would be like lighting off a cherry bomb in your hand.

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.

Sort of a modern Lemat.

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.

I bought the railed model. It's going for nearly $1000 more already on
the secondary market. I didn't plan to shoot it and bought it for my
collection. My concern is that there is a warranty so maybe I should
put a few rounds through it to make sure all is well. On the other
hand, it would no longer be an unfired gun - outside of the factory. If
the prices don't move up significantly I will keep it forever so that's
less of an issue.

I guess I'll watch the prices during the warranty period and decide what
to do.

Harry would kill to be able to afford a gun like that.


I didn't pay MSRP - about $700 less. I knew I could get a bit more when
I bought it so I chalked it up as an investment. I had to justify it
some way...

Shove the barrel up your ass, and pull the trigger. NO ONE gives a ****.
