"Weight: 73 oz" .... a 4.5 lb handgun. OMG is about right!

This is a direct quote from the first line in the description:

"If you thought the Taurus Judge line couldn’t get any better, you have to see this."

That line takes the cake...

MOshooter65202 · September 20, 2012, 08:59 PM

I would wonder about its accuracy? With such a long cylinder to accommodate the 410 shotshell,how is accuracy with the 45 long colt and 454 casull?

Onward Allusion · September 20, 2012, 09:00 PM

Um, nope.

Winchester_73 · September 20, 2012, 09:05 PM

Its way too cool for me to own

K_Mac · September 20, 2012, 09:14 PM

NO. A 454 Casull Ruger Super Redhawk weighs 20 oz less, has an inch longer barrel (7.5") and is .6" shorter overall. The suggested retail is virtually the same. I would love to have a hand cannon for hunting mastodon and such.

My choice would be the Ruger.

twhidd · September 20, 2012, 09:50 PM

Of course not. It's a Taurus.

I am a Ruger junkie. They are by far and away my favorite gunmaker. However if I was going to get a 454 (an I plan on soon) I am looking at a 6.5 Magnum Research BFR. 59 oz. Only 5 shots but the best looking 454 outside of Freedom Arms)

Where's the rest of the stock?

Edward429451 · September 21, 2012, 08:45 AM

Come on now, is that not a gun designed strictly for Bubba?! LOL

feets · September 21, 2012, 08:53 AM

I'm one of the guys who doesn't take the shotgun revolvers seriously. Stuffing a Casull in one does not make it better.

Jayhawkhuntclub · September 21, 2012, 09:56 AM

That's the kind of gun you want your buddy to buy so you can shoot it a couple of times. But no I wouldn't buy one.

CajunBass · September 21, 2012, 10:03 AM

Naw. I don't want a .410 shotgun, much less a .410 handgun.

**Mike Irwin** · September 21, 2012, 10:08 AM

I'll take 10.

jglsprings · September 21, 2012, 10:23 AM

You know, I see these around in gun stores (not this particular model) and the S&W Governors, et all... And I just don't understand why no company (other than Charter) will build a nice small frame 44 special again.

The Judges are so specialized, niche driven, blah, blah blah. I don't understand how these are so desirable from a sales standpoint and the gun I want isn't?? LOL!

Samuel2011 · September 21, 2012, 02:29 PM

I'm with jglsprings. Where are the small frame (smaller than N-frame) .44 Specials?
I'll take a 3" 696-like, with fixed sights thank you very much.

RedBowTies88 · September 21, 2012, 02:32 PM

Hell yes I would buy that!

I need to compensate for the tiny penis somehow......

Remington74 · September 21, 2012, 03:07 PM

Can you get an IWB holster for that thing?

Skans · September 21, 2012, 03:18 PM

No. After owning a Desert Eagle 44 magnum that I rarely use anymore, I just don't have any taste for these super-sized over-sized hand cannons. It would be fun to fire a few rounds, but once I've done that............then what?

I like the blued, 3-inch barrel version of the Raging Judge the best. They actually have it at my LGS.

They should trick it out like the "Tactical Operator" version, too.

We'll probably see it in the next Jason Statham movie shooting explosive rounds or something.
