Cool gun

I got this as a Christmas present from my wife, it's a good weight to carry as an EDC. I keep .410 personal defense shells in it but it's nice to be able to have the option of the .45LC. Now I've got to start reloading cause ammo is a littl

This has become my favorite revolver for daily carry. It's light weight makes it comfortable and its' major caliber makes me feel confident. This gun has good accuracy and doesn't punish your hand, even with a 300g 45. I carry with Hornady Critical Defens

I have used my pistol several times. I have no complaints about it. I think its the excellent gun able to put shot shells in it. Many targets were splattered apart once being hit by the shot shell. I have had nothing but perfect performance with the poly

I've had several Judges in the past and have traded or sold them cause they all seemed too big for what they were. Got this to downsize some. It's comfortable to shoot, and accurate enough for close in work. It is light and handy for a Judge. Not a carry

I've had this gun for a couple years now, and have enjoyed firing it at the range. Not the most accurate gun with 45LC rounds (shoots about two inches low), but 000 & 00 .410 buck shot hit where they're aimed in a spread of about 2 to 3 inches at 5 yards.
