I bought two new guns today. The first one is a judge (pictures here with my target practice). The other gun is an Hk 9mm, picture and target i follow up thread.

@freemo Nice! Not sure about that Judge, but whatever rocks your boat, I guess.

@gat Im no expert in handguns.. I have owned an AR-15 for a few years and shot some friends guns, but really dont know much...

What is your hesitation regarding a Judge; I'm curious.

@freemo @gat I would be skeptical of its efficacy as a handheld self defense shotgun, which it is kind of marketed as. Those shotshells have really limited effective range. It seems fine as a 45 though.

@mandlebro

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.
