[Hoosier8]

Don't know how practical this is.

Other than a "kinda cool" factor, I don't see a lot of use for it.

 

[THE BIG SITT]

Why isn't this a SBS?

 

[Rookie]

Because it doesn't have a stock.

I shot one of their double taps. Two shots and never again. Unpleasant doesn't adequately describe the feeling. Painful is closer.

 

[w_ADAM_d88]

Because it's a pistol.

I have heard that the Taurus Judge is not considered a shotgun (even though it is chambered for .410) due to it have a rifled barrel. This clearly doesn't have a rifled barrel.

About as practical as any other single-shot, 2.5" chambered .410 firearm with a VERY short barrel. Not much, imho. Niche use.

 

[PGRChaplain]

$500.00 for that? I don't think so.............

about as practical as a Judge type revlover

This isn't what I thought "pocket shotgun" was going to be about....

The Judge has a .45 bore (.45 Colt). A .410 Gauge is a true .41 diameter, it's undersized. You can shoot a .410 through it but it's more suited for a 45 Colt.

You can see on the side it is also chambered in .45 colt.

MIL INC had the Thunder Five (way before the judge) and no issues, TC even had a Contender barrel chambered in .45 Colt but you could shoot .410 out of it

Bond Arms has made the Snake Charmer for a long time

Anyway, I'm pretty sure that's how they get around it. I'm not sure the NFA rules say if someone made a .41 mag pistol with a long cylinder or chamber that could accept a .410 though

I was looking for something in 12 gauge.

 

[Seancass]

Can we just stop calling .410 pistols a "shotgun"?

A pocket 12 gauge pistol? Awesome right?

 

[NightmareOne]

$500.00 for that? I don't think so.............

That's crazy! What is it with these little pocket pistols/derringer types? Why do the manufactures think they are worth so much? They don't really offer all that much... and when you get into that price range, you are much better off going with a little revolver/micro sized semi-auto. Just boggles my mind. Don't get me wrong here; I can see the benefit of a couple extra shots/a .410 at close range when things "just got real", but they want way too much for these things.

I don't know that I'd even want to shoot that. I guess it would depend on the grip. Probably once, just to do it... most likely not again.

There's a lot of machine work that goes into them, little parts, etc. Plus the company is decently new so their cost per item is up.

If you can start up your own company, with all the machine work and knowledge to produce a similar product for half the price, go for it


I've shot one of the single barrel Heizers before using Buffalo Bore 45 Colt, recoil was a push, not bad at all

 

[BehindBlueI's]

So sure of your accuracy you only need one shot but so unsure of your accuracy you want a short barrel shotgun's spread? Are your hands radically deformed so that holding a metal pancake is comfortable for you? Do you like to drastically overpay for gimmicky doo-dads? Then have I got a product for you....

 

[HoughMade]

Don't know how practical this is.

What could that possibly be practical for? There's not a more rational self-defense gun in a smaller size? Protection from kamikaze grouse?

It almost, almost​, makes the Judge look rational.........almost.

I was looking for something in 12 gauge.

So I guess they could legally manufacture one of these in 12Ga.?
