Few handguns have earned a following like the Taurus Judge, and this 6.5 inch barrel model is the one to grab when you want the platform stretched out to its full potential. The five-round cylinder accepts both .45 Colt cartridges and 2.5 inch .410 bore shotshells, so you can load it for defense, pest control, snakes on the trail, or just a fun afternoon of busting clays off the berm. The longer barrel squeezes more velocity out of .45 Colt loads and gives .410 patterns a bit more reach compared to the snub versions, and Taurus tuned the rifling specifically to work with both, spreading shot at close range while still stabilizing a .45 caliber bullet on target.
The extra sight radius is the quiet hero here. With the red fiber optic front sight paired to a fixed rear, getting on target quickly is easy even in low light, and the 6.5 inch tube makes precise shots with .45 Colt far more repeatable than you might expect from a do-it-all revolver. The matte black oxide finish over alloy steel keeps glare down and shrugs off field wear, while the Taurus Ribber grips soak up recoil with their segmented rubber design. At 32 ounces unloaded, it carries enough weight to tame .410 loads without feeling like a boat anchor on your hip or in the truck.
The double action/single action trigger gives you options. Run it double action when speed matters, or cock the exposed hammer for a lighter, crisper break when you are taking your time. A transfer bar keeps the hammer off the firing pin until the trigger is fully pulled, and the built-in Taurus Security System lets you lock the action with a key when it is stored. Around the farm, in a tackle box, or riding along on a backcountry trip, this is the kind of revolver that solves a lot of problems with one cylinder. Load two shotshells up front and three .45 Colt behind them and you are ready for just about anything that shows up inside fifty yards.
No, this model has a 2.5 inch chamber, so stick with 2.5 inch .410 shotshells or .45 Colt cartridges. If you want to run 3 inch magnum shells, Taurus makes a separate Judge Magnum line with a longer cylinder. Never try to force a longer shell into this cylinder.
The longer barrel gives you a longer sight radius for more precise aiming, higher velocity from .45 Colt loads, and tighter, more useful .410 patterns at distance. It also adds a bit of weight out front, which helps soak up recoil. The trade-off is that it is more of a field and home gun than something you would tuck into a holster all day.
Yes, and plenty of owners do exactly that. A common setup is loading shotshells in the first chambers with .45 Colt rounds behind them, so the first trigger pulls deliver a spread of shot and the follow-ups send a solid bullet. The cylinder does not care about the order, so you can arrange it however suits your needs.
It is one of the most popular choices out there for exactly that. Loaded with .410 birdshot, it handles snakes and small pests at close range without needing a precise aim, which is why so many folks keep one on the tractor, in the barn, or on a hiking belt. Swap in .45 Colt and it handles larger jobs at longer distances too.
