S&W should get Schwarzenegger or Ventura to pimp it...

Soooooooooooo S&W cloned the Brazilians ????????

Looks like its only 2 3/4 chamber. I had one of the original Judges in that chamber and can say that I really like my 3" Judge chamber much better.


Maybe I missed the price tag on the S&W but I wonder if it will be comparable with the Judge.

Karma or irony? I'm having a hard time picking between the two on this one.

S&W caught the stupid apparently....

They want to sell more guns and guess what........the Judge sells like wildfire. Like it or not.....most places cant keep them on the shelves. S&W wants in on some of that action I suppose.....since until now they have had the market cornered.

This comment pretty much sums up the review:
"A pistol with the weight of a steel 1911, the firepower of a Model 686, the range of a can of pepper spray, and the size of a small briefcase?...pass"

Smith and Wesson will probably sell a Million of these but it still sucks that its the best new product they could come up with to introduce this year. FAIL. Very reminiscent of the Old Smith and Wesson.

I thought that Taras had the "polymer" JUdge on the line up for 2011 ??????? the new super sleek bucket of awesomeness and fire power,

Maybe Glock will finally come out with that carbine many speculated on years ago-
thus giving Smith the opportunity to copy it!

Lulz. I quoted some of your comments on another board.
