Before you do anything serious with The Judge, take a number of different loads (000, #2, etc) and check its pattern at various distances. You’ll find that its effective range with shot is very short, 10-12 feet, if I recall (I did, when they first came out) before the shot spreads out too much to be effective. It’s okay, half a room away, but not much else. Still, it’s effective for some purposes.
Incidentally, on other groups I’m on, when the subject gets too far afield from the basic subject of the group (Yaks, CJ/s) we put OT in the subject line for “off topic” so no one gets bent out of shape. Often the OT’s impart more general knowledge the on topic stuff does.

Those who hate firearms, please do not read. DELETE NOW!
Doc, should we recommend that he carry a handgun?  That opened a
HUGE argument LAST time!
On that note, I just got a neat new handgun that is perfect for carry
during LONG cross countries. It is called "The Judge" and is built by
Taurus. About the same size and heft as a S&W 65/66 .357 this one
fires the .45 Colt, OR.... A 2 1/2" standard .410 shotgun round! Fires
5 rounds, so you can go from 000 buck, to birdshot, and then a few .45
Colt rounds for serious stuff. Kills snakes to birds... All in one
handgun. Their new model handles 3" .410 magnums.

You're absolutely correct.
With the .45 Long Colt I was able to hold fairly good groups at 25
yards. With #8 birdshot about 10 feet was max, but it will really rip a
big snake up at that distance. One of my most serious concerns with big
bore, or very high velocity hand guns is the potential for a round to go
right through a wall and take out some innocent next door. Thus as a
purely defensive weapon this particular handgun has merit in my view as
well as taking along on a hike, or a cross country where particularly
unpopulated terrain is the norm.
The suggestion for adding "Off Topic" is well founded and one that I
will follow in the future. Thanks for making it Byron.

Budd D made the suggestion.
And my Judge is in a holster on the bottom of the night stand.

Pappy,
I watched the video. It left me totally speechless. There are no words
that can come close to defining how totally STUPID some people can be.
No words what-so-ever. One can only hope that what happened in the end
was video trickery and not actually true.
Strange as it may seem, to me this is another example of how lucky we
are to be living in a country that does not determine the laws that we
must abide by based on examples of the lowest I.Q. of the general
population.

Serves the stupid sh*t right. How dumb can you be?
Of course, that could also be an Obama ad for gun control.
