Taurus ″The Judge″ 3″ Barrel .45/410 Pistol

The Taurus Judge is a five-shot, double-action/single-action revolver introduced in 2006 that chambers both .45 Colt cartridges and 2.5-inch or 3-inch .410-gauge shotgun shells. The firearm earned the name "Judge" after Taurus executives learned that judges in high-crime areas of Miami, Florida, carried the company's early large-frame revolvers for personal defense in tight spaces, relying on the low over-penetration risk of .410 shotshells.
