The Netherlands, still my favorite country in the world (If im judging it by the people and what they do, rather than physical landscape)

@freemo I do not claim an expertise, but I do not see an application for which Judge works better than alternatives. The desire to shoot .410 makes it quite large. Meanwhile, shot from the rifled barrel scatters so much that it's basically useless beyond a snake. But one can achieve the same result against snakes with the snake shot. This leaves slugs, but the energy of a .410 slug about corresponds to a defensive 10mm (it exceeds a 9mm, of course). I see that I placed myself into a position where I have to pee on your parade if I am to justify my off-hand remark, which wasn't my original intention, but oh well. If you enjoy shooting that gun, it's all that matters.
@gat I do not consider my parade pee'ed on, let the golden showers continue :)
For me there is a very legitimate function for a judge, which is exactly what I bought it for... close range protection at home, specifically in the bedroom. If someone breaks into your home and you are cornered in your bedroom you have no more than a few feet distance to your target, so its perfect. You load the first round with a shotgun shell, which will incapacitate, then the next round is a bullet to finish it off.
Now I do agree as a daily carry or really any other scenario it isnt the best choice. But for your bedroom its perfect IMO.
inb4: A shotgun itself is larger and bulkier, so should someone kicks down your door it will be a longer reaction time till its in hand and ready to go.
@EubieDrew I dive some of the most dangerous dives in the world... in terms of risk tolerance owning a gun doesnt even register as risk (though i do very much respect the danger and am very careful)
@JonKramer yea i was thinking about that.. here is the thing, a shot gun, like my AR, is large and bulky.. if im in bed the time it takes me to get one in hand and aimed is much longer than a handgun.. so I figured the judge might be a better choice
@JonKramer well im more worried about them kicking in my door and killing me.. so short range is where we are at mostly.
@JonKramer The thing I love about guns is there are different guns for different purposes... your fear of pigs is a very different motivation than my fear of mob bosses :)
@EubieDrew Yea I mean look if your gonna own a gun there is a **lot** of responsibility that goes with that.
Me, my life is in danger and its fairly serious so I have a lot of motivation. In my case sadly I'll be sleeping with it loaded by my bed for a while with one int he chamber.
@JonKramer I should have said "and of similar specification"
@JonKramer I mean there are plenty of guns that perform as well or even better than an AR and of similar performance... but your right the stigma is entirely arbitrary and silly.
@EubieDrew Ahhh, gotcha :) Not surprised he is a gun lover though since he is so right wing (I'm generally left of center, but on guns I'm fairly right)
@JonKramer next time I buy a gun just for the cool factor (I dont really need anymore) it will be a P90s
Oh yea, I forgot about that... If elon werent so intolerable I might have snatched one up.
@EubieDrew Thats a very odd question, what does Elon have to do with guns or self-defense?
@JonKramer The AR is great for farms and a lovely rifle to fire.. There is a reason its the most popular weapon in the US
Yea, the range is very short, but thats the point. It isnt a replacement for a shotgun, its intended for protection close quarters, like a bedroom and for that purpose I think its perfect.
My plan is to have The Judge loaded with the first chamber having a shotgun shell then the others with bullets. First short incapacitates, second shot kills. I would not use it as an everyday simply because the shotgun shells wont help you in the open, and its just too heavy and bulky.
Of the three guns I own what is your favorite?
@Pat @JonKramer Hahaha, good ol' days

I remember when...
a guy showed me his new S-100 bus memory card with 256K of RAM, and I said, "What do you need all that memory for?"
(my first computer had 32K of RAM because I couldn't afford the full 48K.)
