Shooting The Judge Actual Footage

[67madmatt]

Just bought this gun in a Public Defender model with a 2 1/2 chamber - haven't shot it yet tho. After watching this distruction... I think I'm gonna give it a try right now! Thanks for the vid!

[pkalldayy]

dude that gun is amazing !!!! looks like freekin shot gun shell u put in there :O !!

[roadragecustoms]

@pkalldayy It is. It shoots both 45LC & 410 shotgun shells. It has a rifled barrel so it isn't classified as a short barrel shotgun.

[coperman60]

@roadragecustoms does the taurus judge with 410 shells kick harder than 45 rounds in it or are they similar.

[FUFFYthekiller]

nice gun sell it to me with like a hundred of those rounds reply please

[LEONARDOTEIXEIRA425]

[heybulldog13]

laugh if you will at this handy weapon, but, at 8 feet away in the living room @ 2am, .410 no6 shot..will strip the face of an intruder off his skull. when your in panic mode--you just need to point it in the general direction. this gun is perfect.

[heybulldog13]

its a defensive close range pistol. most altercations take place 1-5 feet away...no one needs a weapon that will shoot the wings off of a fly at 50 meters when it comes to personal defense in the home. this gun was never designed for high accuracy, it was designed to lay down a lot of lead at close range with minimal input, although at 20 meters, the 410 slug or the .45 long colt groups nicely for a 2.5 inch barrel.

[IcabodCrane]

@roadragecustoms I'm actually surprised at how well the bigger shot was grouping at the range you're firing. I'm not a fan of the judges at all due to having to be rifled in a pistol platform...and I would -never- sacrifice that much accuracy for something that shoots a measly two different rounds.

Needless to say though your grouping with what appeared to be 000 wasn't too bad. Wasn't anything near the kind of accuracy you'd get from a decent .410 shotgun, but it's surprising for the judge.

Congratulations on having such supportive women in your family! 

[bluelagoon10023]

that gun is gay

[soldierdog100]

@bluelagoon10023 whats gay about it?

[falcondriver100]

@bluelagoon10023 Then shove one up your gay ass & enjoy ye moron.

[samuelLjackson5]

fucking stupid ass video, get the fuck out faggot

[mickeysnakeboy1960]

BAD TO THE BONE...

[Gnostic279]

This may be a stupid question, but where do u get ur targets or what type are they? I see the holes turning green against a black surface. That's really nice for recognition.

[roadragecustoms]

@Gnostic279 Not a stupid question, but a common one. I was using Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C instant feedback self-adhesive targets. I bought them a Wal Mart.

[Gnostic279]

@roadragecustoms Nice, TY

[roadragecustoms]

@Gnostic279 I bought them at Wal Mart. I didn't buy them a Wal Mart.

[sirjames45]

@Gnostic279 If you were a higher level of gnostic, you would have known that..............

[Gnostic279]

@sirjames45 I want some of whatever your smoking.

[TaiMaiSht]

id hate to be hit with one of these. that would leave your face unrecognizeable

[Gnostic279]

@TaiMaiSht I've seen squirrels get hit with 410 shells and not get penetration.

[deltafour1212]

HOLY SHIT!

[MrRocketman19]

Still not ca. legal?

[roadragecustoms]

@MrRocketman19 I don't know much about California law, but I don't know why it would be illegal.

[sackcheck]

@roadragecustoms Its because communist State of California considers it a short barreled shot gun which is illegal, LEO's cant even get there hands on one.

[roadragecustoms]

@sackcheck One more reason I don't like California. Everywhere else considers it not a shot gun due to the rifled barrel. 

[juggalo309]

@sackcheck thats sucks you cant have those in CA. I live in IL and we dont have CCW here.

[StevenJZagaris]

@MrRocketman19 It is legal to possess yes. It is just illegal to sell this weapon in California even for a dealer. If you have a relative out of state who can buy one, their FFL dealer can transfer to yours and they give to you as a gift. I believe that is legal.

[SASQUATCH205]

I GOT SAME EXACT GUN LUUUV IT

[skyhop]

When I explain the judge to people I ask what they'd rather by hit by. A few .177 bb gun shots or a hollow point 45colt that expands to the size of a quarter and passes completely through you.

Then I ask them after that why they think the .410 is a defensive weapon. I've shot a judge, I love the gun and think it's an absolutely blast and very cool. I would never consider it for home defense though, just a trail gun when in snake country or something to take camping to have fun with.

[MOEFRACKEY69]

the public defender with .410, at 15 feet, aimed at the torso would hit: the guys foot, your wall, and your roof

[alllfro]

Where did you find the all black Judge because I've been wanting an all black one but every gun store I go to they only have the gray Judge

[roadragecustoms]

@alllfro I wanted stainless. I really wanted 3" chamber & 6" barrel. I settled for the black. I bought it from a local gun store called Big Woods Goods. Check out wvvw. bigwoodsgoods. com

[AdoreYouInAshXI]

@roadragecustoms that big woods goods site sucks, every gun on the site has to be emailed or called about before you can even get a price.

[roadragecustoms]

@AdoreYouInAshXI Sorry. They are a local gun shop for me. I just go there & buy it. I use the website very little.

[AdoreYouInAshXI]

@roadragecustoms Not your fault, thanks anyway for the link. I gotta get one of these... I just bought a springfield XDm so i can't get one right now... but the time is coming...

[smokeythebear13]

is it not a double-action?

[roadragecustoms]

@smokeythebear13 It's both.

[zigzigzig]

Excellent video.

[CmdrALF]

why not use .410 #4 ammo that is ideal for cqc and home defense instead of the #7 that the beginning of the video showed? at that distance, the #7 looked like it did shitty...

[playskooler]

@CmdrALF

Youve got to realize this gun is made for self defense. That means close quarters. So 10-15 feet is about all your getting when using shotgun shells. But inside that threat zone, kiss it goodbye

[alllfro]

Is this the Judge with the 3'' barrel?

[roadragecustoms]

@alllfro This one has the 3" barrel & the 3" chamber.

[TakeDetour]

Someone took one back complaining that it is underpowered with buckshot. I see that it is not. Damn!

[serrato2005]

Nice video

[shurnee]

What kind of spread did you get with buckshot at 7-10 yds?

[roadragecustoms]

@shurnee I just stumbled onto an old target that was labeled 7 yds buckshot Judge. It was spread about 6-8 inches.

[pyrodownhiller]

wow what target paper are u using ?

[roadragecustoms]

@pyrodownhiller I was using Birchwood Casey Shoot-N-C instant feedback self-adhesive targets.

[JessySmiles1]

@roadragecustoms hahaha thanks heapst :)

[JessySmiles1]

Hi, I was wondering if I may use the first ten-twenty seconds of this video for a school project? Thanks. Nice video :)

[roadragecustoms]

@JessySmiles1 Sure. Just don't get into trouble for breaking any zero tolerance gun policy.

[bobo441978]

I have the 21/2 inch public defender and at 15 yards with a 265 grain bonded core hp would rip a man in half, you would be dead before your body hit the ground.

[LorenWho]

the shot spreads very fast due to short, rifled barrel

[Gideonslc]

Intriguing... I've been considering such a purchase. Does it spit more, less, or about the same with the 410 as the jacketed 45 round?

[roadragecustoms]

@Gideonslc I never shot a 45 through it and I don't know what you mean by spit.

[jrfist]

@roadragecustoms I think he means the recoil. Looks like a fun gun. I got a double barrel 12 gauge coach gun with small barrels and its fun to shoot. I like the Raging Ultra Lite version with the 6" barrel.

[Gideonslc]

@roadragecustoms How much discharge of debris and flame is there in the small gap between the cylinder and the barrel? Common problem with revolvers- the less expensive (greater toleranced fit) the worse the problem.

[roadragecustoms]

@Gideonslc I never had a problem with that, but I wouldn't hold the front of the cylinder & fire it.  I never shot any 45 ammo through it before I sold it either.

[heybulldog13]

wow i carry a judge and my ol lady is named dena,,, hhhmmm

[oahurugger]

I just bought a judge magnum at a gun show today here in houston. Love it, especially since im getting old and I dont even need to aim it. I needed something to keep next to the bed so when I wake up groggy i just point and pull.

[Speedbeetle07]

I didn't know it was single action?

[roadragecustoms]

@Speedbeetle07 It's both single & dual action.

[vffjeff1983]

@Speedbeetle07 its not, he just chose to cock it every time. I had a judge, but traded it for a M&P 40. Great bedside gun, in car or snake gun. Dont shoot anything but federal buck though. Too much spread and no stopping power past 4 feet with bird shot.

[Speedbeetle07]

@vffjeff1983 really it's that weak with bird shot?

[roadragecustoms]

@Speedbeetle07 The shot spreads too fast because of the short barrel. I think 4 feet is a little close, but it definitely isn't a long range gun.

[vffjeff1983]

@roadragecustoms it spreads fast mainly because the barrel (while it is short) is rifled. Rifled barrels will cause the shot to kinda tornado out. If the barrel was smooth it would be better, but illegal.

[vffjeff1983]

@Speedbeetle07 Yes. The bird shot will only penetrate about an inch inside 4 feet away... Just enough to hurt someone, but not stop them from doing whatever it was that made you shoot them. The 410 slug is okay, but not really the purpose of this gun. either .45 long colt or fed 000 or 00 buck 410 to kill/stop. I have a video on my page of the bird shot vs water. Looks cool but at 25 ft I doubt it would even break skin.

[IstherelifeafterGW]

Any particular reason you loaded the weapon, then placed it on the crossword puzzle FACING THE CAMERA?? That was about a no-brainer.

[roadragecustoms]

@IstherelifeafterGW

Sorry. I liked that angle. No one was behind the camera. I wanted that side of the gun up so "The Judge" could be seen. I didn't mean to point it at you.

It wasn't just a crossword puzzle, the other side of the newspaper page was an article about firearms, carry permits, or something.

Thanks for watching & commenting. I hope you don't mind a little sarcasm.

[Xxoo0o0o0ooxX]

@IstherelifeafterGW HAHA!!!  "I didn't mean to point it at you" That was great :-)

[ptrollan]

I would not wanna be Judged !!!!!!!!! Ha ha ha ha

[315271]

it dont have that munch kick back i shoot this at my grandmas house and i am 14 yrs old and it is like a gloc kick back feel

[elvensbane]

i want one of these its like a sawed off shotgun but even kooler... id probably pwn my self though :\

[FundamentalistKiller]

Better vid than most here. Good target views. In the future, tell us what ammo, what range, and update us - as you change - when you change either one.

[roadragecustoms]

Last time I shot it, I tried to measure the distance as I was shooting. At 25 feet, I hit the target & the measuring tape on the ground. Measuring tapes are great with pin holes in them. I don't remember what kind of target loads I was using. Next time I shoot it on video, I'll tell the type of ammo & distance. That's a good idea. Thanks for the comments!

[Chickenhaed666]

Great way of showing impact and accuracy with the shirt, can, paper target and watermelon. Nice video.

[fer29402]

hermoso=beautiful

[phishintube]

not accurate but effective

[roadragecustoms]

Very accurate. Not very precise.

[phishintube]

is that an oxymoron. far from accurate.

45lc has to travel through the chamber before it gets to the barrel(in the magnum thats alot of travel before a short barrel).

no offense

i have one and like it, but it can't hit 1 bull at 7 yards with OOO. and aren't rifled slugs made for smooth bore shotguns?(legit. question)

[roadragecustoms]

You're right. I haven't even bought any 45LC ammo yet because of that. I meant with the shot shells. Spreads so much you cant miss. I haven't bought any rifled slugs either. But, yes they are for smooth bore shotguns. The Judge is a gimmick but still fun to shoot. I wasn't trying to be a jerk, sorry.

[FundamentalistKiller]

Excellent observation... "DEADLY IN CLOSE" would have rounded it out nicely.

[budd14589]

sweet gun..not going to miss any one with that lol 5 star

[HerbWalker]

I bet that would hurt like hell,but I went with a RUGER P95 (9mm).

[roadragecustoms]

The Judge is more of a gimmick. It's fun to shoot, but with only a 3" barrel, shot scatters over a huge area if you aren't very close to your target. Unless of course, you use 45LC or 410 slugs.

[beautifuldreamer80]

wow :O

i cant even believe those bullets fit a handgun aaaaah.
