good post.. ever seen anyone training with a Judge? Not being sarcastic either, have you?

I don't see much "training" going on at the range with almost any weapon, to be honest. I don't know that its more or less prevalent with Judge owners, but most people at the range appear to be slinging lead for fun rather than practice.

The people that I have seen firing "The Judge" at the range, did not appear to be doing more than just blasting away for fun.
But I've seen just as many people doing the same thing with everything from an AK to a .22 to a Sig.

I think you're point is a good one, that people shouldn't buy the Judge for home defense, thinking its going to do anything special that other handguns won't. But by the same token... those people could pretty much buy an HK USP and its not going to change anything except they may be able to send more stray rounds into the ceiling, floor, or the nursery.

Get a gun. Learn to use it. That's what's important. If someone "likes" the Judge, and can reliably hit the 10 ring from the bed to the door, then I think they are better off than a lot of people with "better" guns.
