And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Taurus came out with the Judge a few years ago, based on the fact that since it has a rifled barrel, the ATF/NFA regs about short barreled shotguns don't apply. Also handles .45 Colt ammo. When the Judge demonstrated the market for this type of gun was there, then S&W jumped in with the Governor. Such a relatively small pistol has to be a bit of a handful - and for some reason, folks like the .410 for personal defense. I'd think the .45 Colt much better than the .410 ... YMMV, of course.
And LL, if I was a bush pilot in AK, I think I'd rather have a big bore revolver in .44 Mag or some other such chambering - but I'd be interested in your opinion... is it due to the ability to have both small game capability with the .410 and protection against Brownies with the .45 COlt?
Was loaned one in Africa a few times many years ago, just two barrels so don't miss!. Called a snake gun there, can't recall the make but highly prized for hunting in the tall grass
So which would you want when you have only seconds but the 911 cops are minutes away. One of these with buckshot loads or a 9mm with laser sites? I'll take this one.

LL is just trying to convince me to buy a float plane and start a bush pilot business in Alaska. Some days, it seems like a really good idea.

ReplyDeleteI have the Judge and it is very easy to shoot because of it's weight.
