I did, however, buy another barrel in .45 Colt, one that does NOT take .410 shells. With the barrels I have, accuracy of the .45 Colt is superior in the .45 Colt only barrel. Just out of curiosity, I checked some specs and found that the "Enforcer" .30 carbine pistol is about a pound heavier than the Taurus Home Defender, but 2 inches shorter in overall length. So, a bit heavier and a bit shorter, but 15 shot (or 30?) .30 carbine vs 5 shot .45 Colt / .410 for home defense? I think I would opt for the higher capacity gun, if I had to choose between just those two... Taurus Judge with a 6" or shorter barrel? Not my preferred item, but it does make some sense. Same gun with a 13" barrel, (and a rail?) NO. Just no. Not for me, thanks.
