Got my hand Cannon iv been looking for.

[Amazi]

Came a cross this and I couldn't pass it up for the price, the raging judge magnum.
I wish it was the 6in barrel but o well.
To show the size it's next to a Glock 19

[Ghost]

Cool, was considering one before I bought my 460V

Every time I see one of these, I shake my head. The traditional purpose for a snubnose handgun is light weight and concealability, and this boat anchor is NEITHER. As a matter of fact, it's about as far away from an EDC gun as you can get, with the possible exception of a Smith 500. As a carry gun you can't have it loaded with shotshells, and as a bedside gun it's the same deal. About the only thing you can do with it with shotshells is carry it in snake country, and good luck carrying it for 5 or 10 miles with that weight. It's the ultimate example of throwing out the baby with the bathwater, because in creating this ridiculous hybrid, you pretty much nullify the advantages of a 45 LC handgun, and how many people really need a 4 lb .410 pistol??

I'd still like to have one. You hit on many of the reasons why I went 460 though.

You're sounding like a liberal there. I wanted the gun so I bought it. Never anywhere did I say I'm going to carry it.

Just for you I will get a holster and carry it. 4lbs ain't much on a belt. I carry usually that in my pockets at work.

[Rodentman]

Hand cannon. Nothing wrong with that.

Why can't you have it loaded with shot shells?

[Dutch]

Who cares about shot shells anyways when you can stuff it with 454 Casull?

[Seismic Sam]

Well, time to eat some crow. I was unaware that Taurus had upgraded their initial Judge boat anchor that was 45LC/410 to a 454/410. That being said, it's still a boat anchor. Clearly, a 460 has the zip to it, and a barrel that allows you to make a shot at more than 15 feet. As far as using 410 shotshells in a 2" barrel nightstand gun, you're not going to be able to control where ALL those pellets go, and if the night stalker doesn't die on the spot, having a wounded suspect still able to lie through his teeth is your worst legal nightmare. Plus with a 460, you can load some pretty damn effective shotshells with just the brass cases. I loaded some 500 cases for water moccasins down here, and they hold the same weight of shot that a 410 does.

[Amazi]

They make some damn good 410 sense the judge came out. Would it work as a bed gun yeah regardless what I put in it unless I put some low end 410. But I'll stick with my python for that.
You can reach out with a 3in barrel 100+ yards with 45lc and 454 and a slug. It's not a nail driver but handguns aren't really that.
I had a Smith 460, sold it and won't look back till Ruger makes one. I don't really care much at all for newer Smiths. I'll buy one that's pre 1990 but anything after probably not.

[Lumpy]

A revolver should not have a cylinder longer than its barrel.

[Amazi]

They should be the same length I think the cylinder is 1/10in longer then barrel so basically the same. I'll probably use it for grouse in northern mn sense there you can damn near catch them with your hands.
