The judge is only really effective out to about six feet. After that, you have a 1/4 chance of actually hitting what you want due to it's nearly non-existent barrel length.
It's only redeeming qualities are that it's a revolver so it won't jam easily. It's a double action. It's tiny for easy conceal, and shells are easy to come by.
With that said, the shells are also some of the most expensive. Personally, if I'm limited to 5-shotgun shells...I'd prefer a 20 or 12 gauge. Yeah, it might be scary, but a snot-nosed little brat that breaks into my home or barn is going to poo himself when I rack a shotgun as I'm stepping out of the shadows with it pointed at his face. Besides, with a 20 or 12, you only need the one shot anyways.
Maybe..... I live in the city and I would never rely that they knew what a pump sounded like. I was trained to draw in 4 positions to save my life...
1. Hand straight down on weapon with index finger pointed straight down.
2. Pull straight up with a foward cant.
3. Rotate horizontal ( I have to lean back to hit center of mass at this position, cowboy style).
4. While all this is happening my left hand should be on my chest (to avoid shooting my own hand) until postion 4 when bring my revolver up and left hand to clasp in a teacup but to never fully extend my right and simultaneusly pull back with my left. It's really not that easy and takes time to practice.
I tricked out a couple mossberg 500's with the side saddle, barrell heat shield, dead man pressure switch with sure fire light and some other mods.
I load one with 2 slugs followed by 3" magnum buckshot.
I have another one specially loaded with a warm fuzzy custom concoction of lye impregnated rock salt.
This is for anyone who I really don't feel like sending to their maker, but just wanna have some fun teaching them a good life lesson.
Gladly I have never had to use either of them in self defense but I have had to use my pistol on a couple occasions on the street.
Never had to fire a shot though, just the sight of it was enough to send the message.
You are serious as a heart attack and my trainers would love you. Shoot to kill, never to wound.
We were taught when we were allowed to transition from concealed to open carry as the law allows..... Very specific conditions...
