@LouisIngenthron I could certainly get into collecting guns as antiques, I could see the fun in this.

In this case my life is in danger so it serves a purely functional purpose.

@Melody@masto.ai

Jan 6 was totally unacceptable, I agree. Though at the same time my city spent 7 months literally burning tot he ground in mostly left-wing riots. Literally the skys were dark with black smoke, families displaced, babies crying int he street as businesses and homes burned. So its hardly limited to just them either.

If you could afford any gun, what handgun, and what rifle would you get?

@black6_ Yea I found consistency workable, but my VP9 certainly had a tighter clustering

@black6_ In my post the target shows a few hits off center but as i adjusted for it I was able to center it... so that tells me the judge just comes with a shitty alignment on the sight, which sucks, but it is consistent, which is more important IMO

@black6_ hmm, i wonder how easy it is to find a better sight for it. I guess i can always just aim high and to the left, but meh

@stux

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

@black6_ @jlcrawf

do you know if you can adjust the sight on this? It looks like you can but im not sure... mine pulls slightly to the right and could be easily fixed if i can figure out how to adjust the irons.

@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 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
