The Taurus Judge got a lot of attention from the firearms community when it was first released several years ago. It was a handgun that could shoot either the 45-long colt or 410 shotgun shells.
Its ability to use different types of ammunition is one reason it is popular as a backpacking gun. The 4/10 is a good choice for snakes and other varmints.
Taurus released the magnum
Shortly after the release of the original Judge, Taurus released the Judge Magnum. The Judge Magnum will shoot the 2 1/2 as well as 3-inch shells.
I bought my Judge Magnum as soon as they came on the market. It is a lot of fun to shoot. The only issues that I’ve had with it is the fire control mechanism locking up. I sent it to Taurus for repair and after a few weeks they returned my gun in perfect working condition.
The recoil of the Judge Magnum is very controllable for the experienced shooter. However, some of the magnum loads have more recoil than others.
The Grizzly comes with a 3-inch barrel, bladed front side, and fixed rear sight. The pistol itself is chambered in.45 Long Colt and can also take up to 2-1/2″.410 shotshells. You also have the ability to swap the barrels out with any of the other standard Bond Arms barrels for a quick caliber change. Sep 27, 2017 If you have one of the 410 / 45 Long Colt revolving firearms that S&W, Taurus or Rossi make, the 410 to 9mm adapter is a lot of fun and a cheap way to shoot hundreds of rounds out of those big. The idea is that you can, but it's not safe, especially if the shotgun has any form of choke in it, farmers used to load a 45 colt in a.410 to put down cattle and horses, but that's a while ago and it's not safe to do, especially with the new loads and bullets they're coming out with in.45 caliber, they do make special rifle/shotguns and handguns that can handle.45 colt ammo and.410 shells.
Since the introduction of the Judge, several ammo manufacturers have made specialty shells specifically for the Judge. If you keep a Judge for self defense you will want to spend some time studying these different types of ammunition to see which one works best.

The pattern of bird shot spreads so wide it becomes ineffective. The Taurus Judge performs much differently than regular 410 shotguns. The barrel is rifled which causes the pattern spread to be much wider than the smooth bore barrel in most shotguns.
To overcome this problem, you will want to choose either the 45-long colt or 410 shells specifically made for the Taurus Judge.
