Does anybody have the new taurus home defense pistol? They have two different ones. One is designed to shoot .410 000 buck shot. They other is a .45 . Looks like a really cool little weapon especially the pistol that chambers the buckshot. __________________ No matter what happens, whether you succeed or not, if you stand up and do it right and pay attention, hunting will always give you what you need.

they have been out for a while now. They are REALLY cool guns
You can chamber a .410 shot gun round or a .45 long colt pistol cartridge. this baby packs a punch __________________ |

Sure looks like a hell of devastating short distance revolver. __________________ No matter what happens, whether you succeed or not, if you stand up and do it right and pay attention, hunting will always give you what you need.

A large bulky (and ugly too) revolver that doesn't seem to shoot either round particularly well. And if you want to shoot .45LC, then get a good S&W M25 in that caliber. If you reload you can make shotloads for the .45LC and use them in your M25. The M25 is a bit handier and a much better made revolver. Check the banters on the 1911 Forum about the Judge. Might be okay for "under seven yards" but it strikes me as more of a novelty weapon than anything else. Just my opinion.

unless your are using 45 lc for defense in that thing you are a moron. a .410 slug isnt even as powerful as most handgun rounds and people are gonna shoot 3 pellets of buckshot out of it? You can have it ill take 16 rounds of 9mm or 8 rounds of 45 any day. __________________ shooting ducks and killin bucks

| One of the ammo makers just came out with a special defense load for it. Its really making an impact in the industry. This year they came out with a long arm version that looks real nice. | ||

Shot one. Cool gun but it's a novelity item, something to get when you got everything else pratical and just want a cool toy.
JMO...Best home defense waepon for anyone, novice or expert is a pistol grip, short as legally possible barreled 20 gauge. |

the judge is a great gun to keep by your side to answer your door with late at night. close quarters shot with in 6-8 feet that gun will do some damage __________________ |

Judge is a great gun to keep in your truck or for shooting snakes.

it seems it would be most effective with alternating loads of .410 buckshot and .45 colt. 45 colt is a big bullet. i think it would knock anybody to the ground in a hurry. while i agree it is a novelty weapon so to speak it seems that it could be very effective for home defense. __________________ No matter what happens, whether you succeed or not, if you stand up and do it right and pay attention, hunting will always give you what you need.

Wow... what a GREAT concept... I need one. Anybody who says either of these rounds at the range this gun is designed for wouldn't knock you down is fooling themselves.
Plus many of us have reloading stations for 410 so you could even make some nasty custom rounds. Quote:
great for someone the does not shoot all the time and can at least get one or two pellets in someone. I extra agree with this - but remember, when you go into fight or flight, unless you are trained in tactical combat (and even then) you're going to lose accuracy when you panic (which you WILL - adrenaline doesn't care how cool you think you will be when the time comes). Scatter guns are great - and they don't go far so the neighbor / person in the next room is less likely to get hit by "overspray" / passthru. __________________ Tight Lines, Wet Nets, Filled Tags and Full Bags

it is more manuverable than a 20GA with buck shot but i would rather the intimidation of the shotgun plus a better round with the 20. __________________ "I hunt, therfore I am..."

i have to agree with buckcrazy. you can kill someone with a 22 if you hit the right spot i promise that a close range blast with a 410 will get the job done. and even if you dont kill the guy he sure as hell isnt going to want to stick around for any more __________________ "I hunt, therfore I am..."
