Here Come Da Judge
« on: December 18, 2008, 12:17:37 AM »
I got the new American Rifleman yesterday and they had the Taurus Judge I've been waiting to see with 3" chambers. "Judge Magnum". I need to get one and some 5 ball 000 Buck. They're making a lightweight alloy Judge too. "Judge Light." http://www.taurususa.com/products/product-details.cfm?id=638&category=Revolver

I'd love one, but reality is I'm going to have to wait and hope Boho is more pragmatic than his red meat website.  My closest Republican rep, Dent, basically said the loons are in full wing.  Doesn't mean they'll win, but they are emboldened.  i don't think they 'get it' that Obama was a misdirected, misinformed or protest vote for all but the frothing faithful.

I'm not normally a wheel gun fan, but my uncle had a set of shot pistols that were just fun to shoot (not revovler), and the Judge looks to be a neat package.

My bro-in-law got a Judge for Christmas last year.
Nice gun...feels good and balances well in the hand (IMO). I'd like one myself but want other ones more.
Oh well......

The Judge is a short barreled shotgun in California, so I'll have to move to another state if I ever decide to get one.

New from B-HO! Laws similar to this coming to a state near you!

I have 2 Contender barrels that can be sold in 49 states but not on the Left(ist) Coast. A 3" barrel and 5 shots would be more fun than one shot in a 10" or 14" barrel. Unlike some of my guns that are mostly playthings, I could actually carry the Judge concealed. I always liked the idea of the 5-shot .44 Special belly guns and wondered why not make one a .45 Colt? .45/410 is even better. The rifling should give shot loads a good spread. I forgot to mention there are CT lasergrips available for it too.  8)

It really seems like a great gun.  I read somewhere in a review that the rifling was actually detrimental to the shot pattern and not quite enough to stabilize the bullets well. A compromise to both, as the rifling was necessary to make the gun legal.

That confused me, because like I said my uncle had a brace of shot pistols w/o rifling.

Shot pistols were legal prior to the NFA in 1934. Ithaca made the 12 and 20 ga. double barrel AutoBurglar. A great anti-carjacking pistol back then.  8)  Marbles made the over under Game-Getter for hunters. There were others too.

I take it back. I figured I'd check on something - uncle's pistols look amazingly like Thomson 45LC/.410 - I remembered them looking kinda like 'pirate pistols' -  it was over 25 years ago, lol. Those have shallow rifling also.

I wish I could post pics of my TC Contender. I have a custom 9" barrel with two lugs to screw the long fore-end onto. The barrel extends a fraction of an inch past the fore-end. It looks a lot like a stainless steel Mannlicher rifle, except it's a pistol.
