Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

Twenty years after the Judge basically invented the .45 Colt and .410 combo revolver, Taurus went back and refined the whole platform, and the 2-JUDGE35 is the duo tone version of that refresh. You get a matte stainless steel frame mated to a black cylinder, topstrap, and barrel shroud, with JUDGE engraved right into the muzzle end of the shroud. It looks sharp in person, the kind of two tone contrast that photographs well and looks even better in hand.
The biggest practical upgrade is up front. The old blacked-out front blade is gone, replaced with an orange fiber optic post that picks up fast in low light and stays easy to track under recoil against the drift adjustable rear. Taurus also redesigned the rubber grip with better ergonomics and a bull medallion, which helps tame the thump from stout .410 defensive loads. The DA/SA action gives you a smooth double action pull for defensive work or a crisp single action option when you cock the hammer, and the transfer bar keeps the hammer off the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled fully to the rear.
The five shot cylinder accepts .410 shotshells up to 2.5 inches as well as standard .45 Colt, and you can mix them however makes sense for the job. Buckshot or a purpose-built defensive load like Hornady Triple Defense handles close range work where most trouble happens, while .45 Colt gives you an accurate, hard-hitting option when you need to reach out. The rifling is tuned to let shot patterns open up while still stabilizing .45 caliber bullets.
At 9.15 inches overall and 38.2 ounces unloaded, the 3 inch Judge is the classic nightstand, truck, and trail configuration. It is big enough to soak up recoil and shoot comfortably, compact enough to stash where you need it, and versatile enough to cover snakes on the trail one weekend and home defense duty the next. If you have been waiting for the right time to pick up a Judge, this updated duo tone model is the one that earns the wait.
It fires both .45 Colt cartridges and .410 bore shotshells up to 2.5 inches long from the same five shot cylinder. You can load all one type or mix them, running buckshot, birdshot, or defensive .410 loads alongside standard .45 Colt. Note that it will not chamber 3 inch .410 magnum shells; those require the Judge Magnum models.
This is part of the refreshed lineup Taurus rolled out for the platform's 20th anniversary. The big changes are an orange fiber optic front sight in place of the old black blade, a redesigned ergonomic rubber grip with the Taurus bull medallion, and an updated barrel shroud with JUDGE engraved at the muzzle end. The core DA/SA action and five shot .45 Colt/.410 cylinder carry over unchanged.
It is one of the most popular home defense revolvers out there for good reason. The .410 shotshell option gives you a forgiving pattern at across-the-room distances, while .45 Colt offers a solid single projectile choice. At just over 38 ounces, it soaks up recoil well and the fiber optic front sight is quick to find in low light.
The transfer bar sits between the hammer and the firing pin and only rises into position when the trigger is pulled fully to the rear. That means the hammer physically cannot strike the firing pin from a drop or a bump, so it is safe to carry with all five chambers loaded. It works automatically with no levers or buttons to think about.
