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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vX8sMQgVrdA 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. I understand you can reload a .410 for a pistol but this is nothing like what you get in a commercial load. I also know they sell special loads, just for these guns and they use a mix of buckshot and metal disks. I still think it is a novelty. If you want a 2 1/2 pound handgun that kicks like a mule and has a lot of stopping power, get a Charter .44 mag. It worked for David Berkowitz. No thanks on both handguns. When the 454 Casul came out, I was offered a chance to shoot it at a show in Norco, CA and after seeing the abuse the shooter received, passed. Figure same thing with a smaller 44 mag. |
