The Taurus Judge is the five shot revolver that shoots both .45 Long Colt and .410 Shot shells, and there is a new smaller version called the Public Defender. The new Public Defender model appears to be aimed at the concealed carry market where the previous model seems to target vehicle carry and snake killing.  Being smaller and lighter I expect the new Public Defender to behave differently when fired. Overall I expect my new Judge to be a completely different experience than my full sized model.

Now that I own a Beretta PX4 Model C and a Springfield Armory XDm I feel I should compare them. Both guns are designed with ergonomics in mind.

In the end I expect these firearms to have similar capabilities and performance.

The Taurus Judge is the five shot revolver that shoots both .45 Long Colt and .410 Shot shells. There are two chamber options for the Judge: one with the original two and a half inch chamber, and another with the three inch magnum chamber. On The Taurus website they claim the Judge gets its name from the number of Judges carrying them. If thats true or just a marketing gimmick I don’t know, and to be honest I could care less. With an advertised empty weight of 29 ounces, a three inch barrel (there is a six inch barrel version) and a chamber capable of chambering .410 shot shells this handgun is being pushed as a self defense gun. Some have suggested that the judge is suitable as a snake gun, general outdoor gun, Car gun, Carry Gun, and so forth. Personally I bought the Judge because I think it will make an excellent gun to shoot for recreation.
