Tarus Judge uses for hunting....

[92bluexj]

I was wondering if any of you guys/gals have had experiance with the Tarus Judge during hunting? I have a shotgun but when i am on a deer run/drive or being locked out at the barways like it is this year i can't take a rifle AND a shotgun. I was wondering if people have used it to kill quail, grouse, squirrels, rabbits etc. Like just having it on your hip and if you have used it to kill small game. Now im not saying i'd replace it with my shotgun, but when i can't take my shotgun due to weight limits and mileage is the Tarus Judge worth it for hunting? ( i already have self defense guns, but it could help as well i've seen) Thanks!

I have heard you can do quail but you have to be real close and real lucky

This is why Oregon needs to change the rules.

I wouldn't rely on it for anything over about 10 feet,unless you have paterned it out farther.
Some of these shotgun/handguns disperse the shot pretty fast,and a 410 ain't got a lot of pellets anyway.

Never understood the draw of the Judge . Shooting shot thru a rifled barrel and making the 45c bullet jump quite a bit to the rifling.
But that's just me
