The Judge

Hickok45 plays and experiments with the popular Taurus Judge revolver. It's a lengthy shooting session with a variety of ammunition types and target distances. I demonstrate patterns and penetration at various distances. Nothing scientific, as usual, but maybe enough to give 410 gauge revolver owners and potential buyers a rough ideas of what to expect.
At various distances I shoot birdshot, 6 shot, 4shot, 00 Buck, 000Buck, and the exotic Winchester PDX defense shells.
I don't really have a big dog in the fight over whether these are great defensive guns or not, or whether the 410 is useless in this regard. I do know I would not want one shot at me after having experimented with it. It might not kill me, but it certainly would make me change my mind about further action and probably consider where I'd be finding a "see-and-eye" dog for the rest of my life. :-)

Or ... just a cheap daylight laser that clamps to the barrel ? (I know YOU don't "need" it but considering the tendency to shoot fairly high and the wide range of loads and conditions ... *I* would very much like to be able to dial-in my point of impact, for a given load and nominal range. (that's just me ... buck fever might interfere with my own accuracy, in a CCW situation.

Three inch "magnum) slugs, next time ? ... Please ? ... Thanks ! ! ! ... I do kinda wonder if a red-dot might be desirable ... maybe one of those Bushnell mini red-dot sights ... ~3 MOA ?

... yeah ... might need drill & tap but here it is ...

@goldwest57 Colorado weather is best weather, 110 degree temperature differences from summer/winter. 100 in the summer, -10 in winter.

@JohannWendt I am a Kalifornian gun enthusiast, outdoorsman, and huntsman, and from the bottom of my heart, and those with similar ideals as myself, I agree and thank you for spreading the knowledge that if you are a gun lover to stay away from The People's Repulik of Kalifornia.
