ETA - this is exactly what i needed at a boring day at work.

This one time my pow pow used one to shoot a collared deer dog to the face and green jeans busted him. But his boat flipped and the evidence was gone.

I once took a cull buck with a judge

Meh. A double action 45 LC isnt the worst thing ever, which is what I would load it with. About like a 5 shot 45acp. You can certainly do much worse.

Loaded with buckshot it also isnt the worst thing ever. My buddy's shoots an ok pattern at about 10 yards

only good for fights at card games or drug deals in confined spaces, you get better use and results with literally any other weapon

The Taurus Judge is not a very good self defense weapon. Any full sized semi automatic handgun in 9mm Luger, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP would be a better choice.

Here's a bookmarked post I made a while back listing the disadvantages of the judge:

It tries to do two things at once but only does one of them "okay" and the other pretty terribly.

1. Shotguns don't have rifled barrels unless shooting slugs. Why? Because it causes the wad to spin and your shot spreads out too quickly. Couple that with a short barrel and it makes the Judge terrible at ranges past 10 feet. The one upside is that it's a decent snake gun for this very reason.

2. The gun weighs almost 4 pounds and provides no extra ammo compared to a regular revolver (is actually down 1-2 rounds compared to revolvers that weigh less). If extra weight is added capacity should reflect it. They made it larger for that gargantuan cylinder that can fit long 410 shells. I already explained how the gun isn't a shotgun so that basically makes this unnecessary and burdensome weight.

3. When shooting 45 Colt, it doesn't maximize accuracy or velocity. Since the cylinder is the length of a school bus the bullet has to travel quite a bit in open space before impacting the rifling. The large gap between cylinder and forcing cone causes a loss in velocity and accuracy.

If you're getting it as a defensive gun, there are numerous (and I mean NUMEROUS) other guns I would choose. If you want an accurate shotgun, there are numerous others I would choose (like an actual shotgun with a common chambering like 12 gauge or 20 gauge). If you want a snake gun, you found a good one.

So to conclude, it does an "okay" job at being a 45 Colt revolver but does a terrible job at being a shotgun. So it's essential 0.5 guns for the price of 1.
