Went to a gun shop with a buddy today and he picked up a new Taurus Judge with a 3" barrel. We then went shooting with a mix of 45LC, 410 birdshot and 410 buckshot. We started off with the birdshot and then moved to 45LC. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. We were shooting soda cans at about 10-15 yards and I found it easy to hit our target with both kinds of ammo. The 410 was a bit stout but not uncontrollable with either one or two handed hold. The 45LC were very soft shooting and accurate at the distances we were shooting. The buckshot was surprising, at about 10 yards the pellets pretty much stayed together. The one thing about this pistol, it is loud especially with the 410 but it is expected with a 3 inch barrel. The revolver had zero issues and all spent cases ejected flawlessly. I can definitely see this pistol being a very good night stand/vehicle gun.
