Taurus?
Thinking about buying a Taurus Judge in 410/45 colt w/3" barrel. I have read several reviews and not sure why I want one other then I don't have one. Wife wanted to know if I wanted every gun and I explained I want one of most everything and more then one of the real good stuff. Any thoughts or experience with this gun? Thanks in advance.

No experience with the Judge but I wouldn't mind having one.Make a nice camp or night stand gun I'm sure.I have 2 newer generation Taurus revolvers and the quality & reliability is excellent.Remember that lifetime warranty to.

I've read a couple of reports on them, and they were quite favorable. I'm not a big Taurus fan myself, but I would like to get one of those one of these days.

Taurus revolvers are very much like S&W revolvers... just not quite as well built, in my opinion. They look a hell of a lot like S&W's. I had a Taurus .44mag that I just nearly shot to pieces, and I don't suspect I'll own another Taurus that I would ever regularly shoot.
The Judge does look tempting, doesn't it ? There's just something cool about a .410 revolver. I thought about getting one, but that's waaaay down the list. I would be awfully tempted to get a holster for it, and carry it on the tractor to shoot rats and snakes with.

My taurus is 12 years old and must have had a zillion rounds through it. It still fires like new. I like taurus. Never had a prob with a taurus at all. That judge does look good doesn't it.

Never really cared for Taurus pistols, but I have had my eye on the Judge, its on my list to get hopefully within the next year, If I can work it into the budget....

I'd like to give the Judge a try. Like Moon said, there's just something cool about a .410 revolver.
'Course, I want a .460 XVR and a .500S&W, too.

There is a 3" Ultra-Lite model. That sounds interesting enough.

I think I would stick with the standard model, the extra weight would help with the recoil from the .410 |
