New Taurus Judge Home Defender - WTF??? 🤔

[Alexx1401]

Is this like a cheap version of a Thompson contender?

Its a wheel gun, just like the original. Just a much longer tube on it and certainly not something you can swap barrels on for different calibers like the TC.

Rattle snake killer is all that thing is.....

For the cost of it someone could get a nice 44. Using those shot loads in a .44 it would kill hell out of snakes and would still work with normal ammo. Not to mention that thing would be a LOT to pack around with you just for snakes. Damn thing is huge.

True… to be fair I just glanced at it lol

Watch, the Internet will undoubtedly show us someone putting a red dot and VFG on it.

It looks like one of those guns you see when watching cops. Dude gets caught driving around in a stolen car and some ugly bubblegum weird shaped gun is in his back seat under his dirty laundry and he's like "aww heyll nah Dat ain't mines!"

The Taurus Judge, in all its forms, looks like the set-up to a really bad joke where the punchline is in a dead language that no living being can translate.

It just doesn't make sense.

Some do.. for a close quarter pistol. IE., Belly carry while driving... anti car jacking device that is likely not to penetrate other close quarter vehicles. Snake country, etc.

Still though... I prefer a bond arms over a judge for that.

This monstrosity though is just ridiculous and can't imagine what niche it would excel in. I have no doubt though some folks will be buying them just for the novelty factor. "Gotta own em all" folk(?)

I have a 3in judge and I wouldn't want to be in front of it, I would trust
it with double ought buck..

 

[Nick Burkhardt]

I would like to see how accurate it is firing in double action. If it for people who cannot rack a pump, then the reviewer should demo its double action fire rate and accuracy.

In the only DGU with a Taurus Judge that I know of, the Homeowner missed completely with his first shot when he pulled the barrel of target.

I have a 2mm pinfire "pistol" that I wouldn't want to be in front of.

Judge... Governor... KSG-12... Hi-Point...

Apparently, even firearms can have an extra 21st chromosome.

Taurus did a very commendable job of marketing to get the thing going. The idea had been around a LONG time and never took off because it, well sucked. With slick marketing they got a LOT of people to start buying these things. Most who own one are never in their life going to need to use it on someone trying to kill them so the choice will not leave them wishing they had not bought it.
