Both guns have after market sights available but depending on the exact variant (Types C,D,F, and G) of the Beretta you may have trouble locating ones that will look proper on the gun.

]]> Comment on Judgement day for “The Judge” by G.A. Heath http://gaheath.com/?p=63&cpage=1#comment-2096 G.A. Heath Sat, 14 Nov 2009 01:13:42 +0000 http://gaheath.com/?p=63#comment-2096 The shot shell loads and .45 colt loads should have different point of impacts for the same point of aim. This is simply a function of mass and velocity. Now buck shot should impact closer to the .45 colt. You also have to remember that the guns fire the projectiles in a ballistic arc and point of aim versus point of impact will change at different distances. While I would like to see a .454 Casull version of the judge, I would only want to buy such a judge with the 6 inch barrel. I have shot a few .454s and I like them. I still do not like where the back strap is located in relation to the trigger. Moving the grip forward slightly would improve this while keeping the same grip angle and shape.

The three shot #00 stayed grouped and accurate at 10 meters 33 feet. It was and is designed as a close in weapon perfect for protection. I also have a wmv of a .454 Casull scoped handgun bouncing off the shooters head from too much recoil. And finally, the shape of the grip keeps the weapon from doing just that.
