Of the 6 or 7 Taurus Judges I've handled and shot, I place then about an 8th inch above the .25 caliber semi automatic pistol. Sure, you can say you have a pistol but is it effective for stopping a full sized man target, much less a large animal of some kind? Over my LEO career I've saw men on the drug PCP that broke their arms, legs, and shoulders themselves from fighting while they were hand cuffed and strapped down to a gurney or hospital bed. They didn't even feel the pain they had caused themselves. That being said, I seriously doubt that any one of them would feel the buck shot from a 410 revolver, unless the barrel was pressed point blank against their head. I personally wouldn't own one. I can't think of any use for it other than to say I have one, if I owned one. I don't knock other folks for having them. To each his own. They just aren't for me.
