Don't people buy guns to shoot just for fun anymore? The Judge might not be useful for SD, but it is fun to shoot.

I've met very, very few that have brought the Judge simply as a range gun.

98% of Judge owners I have met, however, think their pistol is TEH AWESOME!!!1111!!! for SD and will breathlessly and repeatedly inform you of how superior their piece of *expletive deleted*it is to anything else on the market.

OK, but I'm going to be shooting back with a Glock 19.

The joke is on all you jokers without a judge at your side. Especially now that I have the duckbill attachment to spread my shot. I can mow you all down with one shot.

I know, but I also know what I'm going to say to the next Judge owner who goes "Well, would you stand downrange of it..."

That can't be a Taurus....that looks like it might actually work....

The wanton bashing in this thread reminds me of HiPoint being bashed. Personally, I couldn't be happier with my under-$200 MSRP 9x19 rifle. :)

It's not bashing when it's fact The Judge, although heavily marketed and talked up as such, is a completely unsuitable SD/HD weapon...the HiPoints (both carbines and pistols) as crude as they are...are FAR better weapons than the Judge.

Oh, and while both the Taurus made guns and HiPoints have a good probability of having problems...guess which one you can actually get fixed in a timely manner?

Hi Point gets bashed unfairly for their quality.

The Judge may be well made, but it's entire premise could conceivably get someone killed.

I've got two Taurus products.  Neither works very well.

Revolvers? Their automatics are supposed to be pretty good, aside from their Beretta 21 copies (which don't always work that well for Beretta, either).

One revolver (Model 94) and one carbine, the Thunderbolt in .45 Colt.

I knew I should have put in a disclaimer that I was only talking about the Model 85 models and the spinoffs from that.  =D

What about the 220swift Secretary of the interior...makes lots of noise, moves quickly, is basically obsolete and marginally effective.
