There is a reason nobody chambers modern pistols in it. If you think the Judge thing is for you that's your choice but you shouldn't ignore the science and quantifiables.
So your about 29 of 60 post in your thread come on Step It Up you can get to 50% I believe in you!
Wow????? I don't know what to say to this statement! I guess the Smith & Wesson Governor nor the Taurus Judge are modern made pistols? I guess Smith and Taurus don't have a clue about science of ammo or weapons either huh???

Almost all gun manufactures have a line marketed towards idiots. See the mossberg chainsaw as another example.
Also, anything with "Zombie" on it would be another example.

No not really. They manufacture and market firearms, mostly to a functionally ignorant market.
You guys missed me huh? Just waiting for me to post again!
Stupid marketing doesn't make a weapon or ammo any inefficient? Secondly, you all bought handguns from these same companies! Now they sell to the public unaware or ignorant. Hmmmmmmm!!! Making sense now! I think I found them.

I'll chime in here: I've got a taurus judge. It's never been fired because i thought it was simply a "neat gun". I've also got a Rossi Ranch hand in .45lc. same story, "neat gun". On my nightstand is a Glock 9mm. My edc? walther P99.
guns are made for varying reasons. The judge is a "conversation gun" in my opinion. You further castrated an already poorly designed SD gun by removing its sights. Again, it's your gun. I personally think a gigantic $20.00 laser sight on a judge is a great toy in the gun safe for sake of conversation. **** it's like having an Uzi. I wouldn't use it, its just fun to have. Sometimes thats half our hobby.
to elaborate-
If I heard a bump in the night, I'd personally rather find my glock blindfolded, disassemble and clean it, then reload it before I'd snatch that ready-to-go judge off a shelf.
If I had a few buddies over making the "pistol vs shotgun" debate, id whip out the judge in a heartbeat for lols and fondling.
to each their own. please don't trust you or your family's security to that firearm. You've already listed that you own a dozen more-capable for the job.
FIFY..............
my hang ups are
isnt the judge made for something along the lines of varmits, such as snakes and that jazz? From my understanding, that is where it excels and thats not a whole lot.
The S&W version at least take .45acp on moon clips, but theres countless .45acp's that hold way more rounds.
These guns strike me as real niche and something they make because they can sell them.
I've seen taurus's crap out way too fast be sent back and the replacement gun itself crap out on the first range trip.
Its going to take a bit of convincing to tell me that taurus isnt that bad. Rugers don't do that to that extent.
replacing the sights with what sounds like a laser made for airsoft? have you tested it? How long will that hold up to recoil?
I guess that's why that's your self defense gun and only yours.
My choice right now isn't ideal, i have a colt GCNM on stand by, its all i have self defense loads for for some reason.....since i got it as a range toy......
Havnt gotten around to getting ammo for my 9mm handguns that would allow more adequate defense. Real lazy on my part.

my question would be wall penetration...with a 3 yr old and an 8 month old sleeping across my house...9mm etc could risk the intruders life along with my children...so what say the experts?? sorry if off topic but it relates to the proposed inadequate penetration of the judge type weapon...
You are correct, from the most part the Judge was made first and it was made for home defense and car jacking defense weapon, then Smith followed suit and made theirs. You can find haters of the Judge and lovers of the Judge from the gun experts both online and gun magazines, so who do you believe? Well, I bought my own and tried it and it works exactly what the experts say that love it. So, I am going with their opinion.
I own 3 Taurus's and have not had one issue or malfunction with any of them from the auto's to revolvers.
Thanks for your opinion sir!
