Wobbly_Alaska Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Any one actually SHOT the Judge? was playing with one today, it is a self defence gun and am looking at it for a gift to my buddy who has done a lot for us. kind of curious of recoil and range for the Long colt and how it handles in the 410.... Thanks vince Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganHunter Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 (edited) I've shot it with both the .410 and the L/C. The gun is designed to toss the .410 every where and really do some damage up close (5yds). I would say the .45 L/C is only limited to how far you are willing to shoot it. it's a pistol round so you could hypothetically shoot it out to 50 or 60 yd's and still be effective. But the judge really come's into it's own when you start running the .410 self defense shot at close range. that would be a nice gift.....ummm do you need any other friends:yes::shifty: as far as recoil....not much worse than a light gun with 40 or 45 if you youtube it you can get a good idea of how it shoots Edited April 20, 2010 by MichiganHunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wobbly_Alaska Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Yeah i have seen a few of the U tubes thats why i was looking at it... my old buddy will needs a close quarter gun Not for people but for critters and the occasional small game, and a tent gun while on the claims, I looked at the new defense loads winchester has coming out... in short... 3 small slugs sitting on some buck shot in the .410 looks deadly at close range,,, i think would be perfect for a bear slicing into the tent at night, along with the Lazar grips for in the dark... it is light, compact and comfortable. and Yes i could always use more friends... but this Ole guy really has done my family a ton of good during some hard times, and now that we are doing well in business... i think a quality gift is in order.

MichiganHunter Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 well I'll just take another friend.....what kind of business did you start?...and a quality gift for someone who has helped out alot is always a good idea....you call but that gun running .410 is such a point-able gun that I would get him a nice hip holster over a laser sight...it's only going to be a tent/walking gun you don't need any help with the .410 shot shell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mule659 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 I've shot it with .45 and .410...recoil is not bad at all...in fact was a lot less than I was expecting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just suggesting that with a shot gun pistol I would of added a nice looking hip holster over a laser grip....but it's going to be a heck of a gift...he'll love it...the bears and critters will hate it and you but he'll love it....post some pics of it before you give it to him and a pic of him with it.

Orion_70 Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 I've got the Judge with the 3" chamber. I've shot 45LC, 3" birdshot, and buckshot out of it. Recoil isn't bad at all. It really does a number on snakes with a shot load. If I'm in Bear country though, I'd leave it loaded with the 45LC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osceola Slayer Posted May 7, 2010 Report Share Posted May 7, 2010 I own it, it's the best woods gun ever, quiet to roll the barrel from one round to another, depending on what your shooting. I just got the new winchester .410px's, and their ridicolous. Now they're won't be anymore changing loads, this covers everything. From hogs at 20 yards to snakes, varmints, other things that surprise me, even waiting on a bear to try it out. 3 discs, and full of bb's. At some sick FPS. Nice. The judge I consider inaccurate for any kind of long range shooting. But, if your good with it, and can do it, kill em all. Take care.
