Howdy, Everybody;
One of my co-workers recently bought a Taurus "The Judge". This is a pretty nifty revolver, that shoots .45 Colt ammo. It has the (mostly) unique capability of also accepting .410 shotgun shells. Capacity is five rounds. It fits the hand well. The front sight is a fixed red fiber optic site, very easy to get lined up with. The cylinder is really long, to handle the shotgun shells.
Now this should make a very effective self defense weapon. In demonstration videos I've seen, shooting what looks like a 12" square target, the shotgun shell makes a hole in the middle about 2" across, and scatters across the target to the edge of the target, from a range of about 10 feet. This makes an effective weapon without having to be dead-on in your aim. A great time-saver in a defensive situation. This would be an ideal weapon shooting down a hallway in a home invasion scenario. Or for defense against animal attack.
The owner was using it to shoot skeet last weekend. What a trip!
Fun!

I just heard about "The Judge" this weekend when two (military guy) friends were advising me that I needed a gun for self-defense. I immediately wondered if you'd heard about it, and sure enough, here you are posting about it.
