I wonder if it will have the popularity as the Judge revolvers. I didn't know if I should post this in shotguns, rifles or revolvers.

Had a write up on it in the American Rifleman this month. Looks neat.
Watch where you place your hand and make sure your arm is far enough away from the cylinder gap.
If you look at the front of the cylinder there is a flash guard.
Good point, I missed that.
It has the shield on both sides.

Also... why do people keep adding "effective for self defense" to everything Judge related? I think the Judge may well kill people if you shot them, but I feel it's definitely not the savior it's marketed as.
I want a judge, but I'm waiting to find a used one for $300 or less, before I do. Not worth paying for one, for more, to me. Don't want it that bad I guess. I think it'd sure be fun though.
.410 buckshot though... I would not trust. If I want home defense, I'll use a handgun that can hold more rounds and do just as much, probably more, damage. Otherwise there's proper shotguns, if you don't want a handgun.
The Judge.. ok... but I'm just perplexed as to why they'd market the Circuit Judge of all things, as being for home defense... wtf. No. There's much better, for even cheaper, even, than that. Oh well, that's me being picky.
I will just wait 5 or 10 more years and see what the used market yields me after the first couple waves of Judge owners get tired of their gimmicks and want to sell them.
