It'll be my first revolver (something to have fun with and carry while hog hunting). Any idea how much accuracy you lose by going with the 3 in barrel? I wouldn't mind doing a little hunting with it. Thanks. I am getting one for Christmas. It’ll be my first revolver (something to have fun with and carry while hog hunting). Any idea how much accuracy you lose by going with the 3 in barrel?

Outstanding weapon, but not for the faint at heart. Recoil is managable, but two hands always. Depending on where you get your 454 bullets, the load can be painful to some. I bought what I thought was a average 30 count box that was loaded with over 400 grams og Gp At the range, you will get everyones attention. I suggest you consider the blue steel color. I bought the grey and it really gets dirty. Especially when using the 410 shot. The empty weight is just over 4 pounds. Not sure where the 3 pound comment came from. Accuracy is great as well, but again...how do you miss when using this cannon. Owned mine now for 3 months. Outstanding weapon, but not for the faint at heart.

A Judge ultra light weight public defender will put a blinding extremely painful load of bird shot in the attackers face with a follow up of four 000 buck or buck and ball. We are talking about personal self defense of 30 feet or less any farther than 30 feet would possible ruin your self defense plea. We after all do live in a heavily populated civilized society not on a battle field. To Spence the Elder, A .45 is seldom instantly lethal, can miss or over penetrate causing collateral damage.

Now, having said that, when Taurus comes out with the Supreme Court Judge, the often fantasized about carbine version, that's a different story and I want one! Considering how well the Circuit Judge is selling I'm sure that we will see a Magnum version in the next few years. Heads up to Taurus! When you do come out with the Magnum Carbine, do a better job on the stock than you did with the Circuit Judge. It would have been nice if I could use a speed loader with it.

I had bought mine new and only got a box of ammo through it when it stopped indexing. I was only able to manually index to the next round. The cylinder was moving forward and backward allowing too much play. This was pointed out to me by the gunsmith at the range that it posed a serious saftey threat they if the play allowed the chamber to misalign with the barrel when fired, it could blow up and cause serious injury. I didnt think something so thick could shatter but I have since met a local that is currently one testicle short because his judge (older model) blew up and sent a "oo" pellet into his groin. I can't elaborate on the specifics of the lawsuit involved and he may be more to blame than the gun as far as I know. That all being said, I sent mine back to Taurus and they paid for everything to fix it and return it. I am still skeptical about this as a primary weapon but it sure is fun to shoot and if zombies ever attack, this one will remove their head easily. The customer service at Taurus is great and being a new product right out of R&D, I kinda expected a few things to need tweeking. As for the claims people are making about accuracy, this gun in no way compares in accuracy to my Kymber or my S&W but for a 3" barrel, it does just fine. Even if I miss, the bang alone will knock an opponent down. Its fun if you can find one. I am using Hornady 454 rounds. They have big bang! And when I shoot it, no one has accuracy at the range unless you count letting a little pee out in their pants as accuracy. So, I didnt elaborate on why I made the comment about poor craftmanship.

And my own personal opinion during these unstable times a Taurus Judge is a very good survival weapon because of the varity of rounds that can be fired thru it , .410 #8 thru #6 for snakes , game birds at close range, #4 shot, buck shot for varmits or self-protection, .410 slug and .45 Colt hunting larger game deer, and self-protection from animals four legged and two legged !

I don't know. I like the idea of it because of the wide range of ammunition it accepts. I'm just wondering if it's safe to fire .460 S&W Magnum rounds with it too. Given how long the cylinder is, it seems that you should be able to load it with the .460 S&W. If you can safely load and fire that, then that adds to it's versatility. And hell, I don't care what anyone else thinks if I pull one out at a range. I just like the gun. It's one of the few revolvers I've seen that doesn't have an adjustable rear site, which I like. I can't stand seeing adjustable sites on a revolver. In my opinion, they ruin a revolver's aesthetics, and make aiming too technical. I like a simple, fixed site. The vented barrel and "HI-VIZ" front sight are also nice pluses, to me. This thing supposedly chambers 3″ shot shells, so I’m guessing the cylinder is about 3″ long? I don’t know.

The Taurus Raging Judge Magnum is now my favorite. First time shooting at 15 yards all 5's and head shots with the 45lc. Very controllable and fun to shoot. Still on of the loudest on the range. Then I switched to the 454 casull. Holly $#!#, by far the most powerful thing on the range there in a while. Some shooters stopped when the 45lc went off. Everyone including the people in the shop stopped when the 454 said boooooom. I had a smile on my face that lasted for hours. I'm 200lbs and found the recoil very pleasing, not everyone will. But I like power. To know that one shot when you need is it, no matter size or what there on when they break in, they are down and not getting up. A 9mm? I was once told from a friend of mine ex-!!!!!!! that with a 9 or the like, you keep firing and walking forward until you can touch them with the barrel. That's fine for pro's, not the everyday joe's. One shot, one kill with a 454 for self defense. Not a spray of bullets in a dark home when your scared as ship for the unpreparred.

I have fired many pistols before, but this one is by far now my favorite, it do go back for repairs as a typical taurus right off, but then again this is a new line, and I feel it is like buying a new model or line from an auto manufacturer I expected there to be some trivial problems, and would from any maker of anything on a new line. she was shaving a little lead on the 45, and 454, and binding a bit after 410. rounds. Every one I have talked to said it is just a slight timing issue simple fix but no one wants to touch a taurus so it went back for the repair. She does awesome regardless. I was even able to shoot the Golden bear 410. rounds with out an issue perfect no sticking or binding on those, and they left huge holes in the target thought it might be key holing but it was perfectly round once you got all the shreds back together rofl.

Had to do it. The 454 is way more impressive of a round than I ever thought it could be. The 3" shot is pretty fun too. The 45LCfeels pretty tame. I am not sure about this gun as a home defense weapon just because the 410 is more of a stun gun and the 454 is good only if your house attacks you. The 45 LC may be effective as a back up gun. This is purely a fun gun. One thing though is the craftmanship. If you are buying a Taurus, you will notice the difference in quality. Its not a well made gun and based upon that, I would never buy a gun from Taurus that my life may have to depend on. But fun for the range.

The 454 is way more impressive of a round than I ever thought it could be. The 3″ shot is pretty fun too. The 45LCfeels pretty tame. I am not sure about this gun as a home defense weapon just because the 410 is more of a stun gun and the 454 is good only if your house attacks you. The 45 LC may be effective as a back up gun. This is purely a fun gun. One thing though is the craftmanship. If you are buying a Taurus, you will notice the difference in quality. Its not a well made gun and based upon that, I would never buy a gun from Taurus that my life may have to depend on. But fun for the range. Lots of people wanted to see what the hell was making that loud boom when I fired the 454 rounds.
