Taurus did an except job with this one.
Can't wait to add it to my collection.
Allen, I love your no bullshit approach and thoughtful commentary. This is the first * Judge * whatever that actually makes some sense.
I just wish they made raging judge version of it for a 6 round cylinder and it can use .454 casull. The lack of a front sight also bothers me but that's just me.
I was going to say something like 454 would murder your forearm until I seen they put a blast shield around the cylinder. I’d probably buy one if they made it
@@alexb7641 they should have made a raging circuit judge rifle years ago but they just haven't. Probably because of the forward cylinder lock but they still could have figured something out
If this sells well, they might end up making a Raging Judge version of it. They want to test the waters with the base model first and see if it's even worth manufacturing. I suspect this will find more buyers than the Circuit Judge.
6rds, yes!
Like the S&W Governor
Living in the 'South' on the Gulf of Mexico, I'd really appreciate one of these in Stainless! Here, everything rusts. Stainless steel guns are the only guns I will invest in. Sure hope Taurus hears my plea ...
Great short review! That blast shield is a great feature, thanks for pointing that out.
I have a "house" shotgun with a laser, also a pistol dedicated for the same purpose, but it has a light. The light is my preference. Sure, the laser gives you an POI reference, but in the dark, you need a light. A light/laser combo may be the best option. Out in the country where there is little to no ambient light, that little red or green dot doesn't help in target identification. You will need a light, either on the weapon or in the hand.
I got a flashlight that can adjust the beam width. Depending on the load the spread of the flash light almost covers the spread of the shot gun. Works great for indoor use.
I have a home defense shotgun with a light/laser combo and a full size home defense pistol with a light so target identification is possible. Both are very close POI at the “hot” center spot of the light.
Ever been hit with a high-powered strobe? It's quite disorientating
Great video straight no BS review.
Its cool but already got a poly judge , i have a huge stash of 410 from Walmart clearance 2019! Not gonna burn through it.
You do good work, and I love the opening music
What an excellent firearm.
I'm more impressed with Federals handgun buckshot out of the 2.5 barrel than the Judge itself. Five 9mm diameter projectiles have a 6 inch spread at 25 yards. That's a firing squad every trigger pull. 18 inches in gel too. Out of this thing, you're probably getting another 200fps and an even tighter spread.
Don't think it will be in the same ball park as a actual shotgun.
The chamber and barrel is to big not to get blow by with the shotgun rounds
Or you can just run a regular old 12 gauge pump shotgun like a Mossberg 500 /590 or even the 88 with an adapter and run Minnie shells for higher capacity easier to find ammunition with more options available and you get a buttstock 🤷♂️
I had a similar though.
In addition, the Mossberg Shockwave is available at .410 Bore, and its significantly cheaper. I can understand the attraction of the Judge Revolvers (I don't own one, but I recently got a SW Governor), but one is different. This will definitely attract people already into the Judge label, but this looks like it is attempting to fill a role that is already filled by the Shockwave, the Remington Tac - 13 and 14, and various other firearms who have an established records, and are doing it cheaper. As for the capacity to fire 45 Colt. Is there really a serious demand for this?
Or you can ….idk… shut up??? Why are gun heads like u so against new ideas? With that mindset you might as well stick with muskets.
Some people don’t want pumps. Some people want semi automatic z and a revolver like this is the closest thing you can get to semiautomatic. They don’t make semi automatic shockwaves anymore or Remington semi auto tacs. Not affordable at least and definitely not in this compact size. Delete your stupid comment
That's crazy goofy looking but I'm definitely behind the idea
For zombie levels where ammo items are sparse and versatility is key
If they make it, somebody will buy it. Strikes me as a modern pirate pistol.
Great review!
This looks badass.
Question is…… Can it handle a stout 45 Colt load instead of standard pressure?
No thanks. I see many better options.
The fact that you can legally walk around with this almost anywhere if awesome
Wish there was a 454 casual model in stainless!!!
The Home Defender may be a funny lookin' critter, but I' would guess it beats blowing raspberries.
45 Colt will take out anything on the continent with the right bullet. The only question is how accurate it is. This and the 6" would be very interesting if accurate.
Very neat, thanks for the excellent show and tell, as always.
excellent home defence
I have two guns of Taurus, the G2C 9mm, excelent gun, and a Rt 608 revolver, 8 shots, 357 mag, love this guns. Now i buy a Military 14´´ of CAC, here of Brazil, see all my channel.
Great review. Taurus has really stepped up their game in all arena's. This firearm is a must have. So many great features. Ideal for Home defense as would make a great travel firearm.
I feel like without the NFA, it would be even better to have one with a stock and a shorter barrel, but still long enough to grip like this. I can't get past that tiny capacity just because of the slow reload time. Maybe if it had 12 rounds or was quick to feed.
How does this get around the 18" barrel rule?
It's a revolver ( handgun ), with a rifled barrel.
@@matthewtmarfield7861
Thank you.
@@matthewtmarfield7861 and no shoulder stock.
How about an optional skeletonized folding stock (to the rihgt hand side, for opening tbe celinder to the left)...?
Good info.

Completely agree with the laser usage scenario.
S&W should do the same with the Governor. Then add a SureFire X300V.
The Governor's 3 caliber, 6 shot versatility and conceal-ability come together to make a great defensive platform..
Looks nice
Like the Canadian model with a stock
That looks hideous.
I want one cuz it reminds me of a pirate 🏴☠️ pistol
such a great do-many things firearm
I have the Taurus Judge and the Rossi Circuit Judge. I'd love to have one of these too!
Lose the red dot sight. In most situations, it will just slow you down. If you can't hit a man size target at typical home defense ranges without using sights of any kind, you need to spend more time at the range. And the number one attribute of any self-defense firearm is reliability. Putting electronic gadgets on a gun simply provides another point of failure. When I took my CCW class years back, our instructor was a big fan of lasers. When we went to the range, he demonstrated the effectiveness of the laser on his own pistol. He drew his firearm, pointed it down range and ... nothing. No laser. He started fiddling with it, trying to get it to come on. Until someone in the group said, "forget it, the bad guy has already stabbed you 18 times".
A
Laser on the barrel would be great.
Where can I buy it from, how much does it cost
thank you sir great review on this
Compare thr home defender to the shockwave 590..410.like to see,thank you
I want one
Since the Taurus is actually designed for Home Defense, what about doing a review of the Armscore VRF14 ??
I think it will give the Taurus a run for its money !! It's a 12 gauge, it's semi auto, have a pistol grip, and uses 5 or 9 round magazines
The Armscore VRF14 is the first firearm Armscore have manufactured entirely in the USA
My public defender is my nightstand gun. 3 410 pdx and 2 45 pdx after. Small house so 25 feet would be the longest but even out to 40 or 50 feet can consistently put meaningful hits on target with either flavor. Also doubles as my snake/varmint gun when I’m out and about
I'd like to see chrono results with this 13" barrel; I'm betting that all of the "Judge" and field shotshells will get a very big boost in velocity / effectiveness.
Paul Herrel reviewed the Rossi, it was not impressive to say the least.
I don't see a review of this firearm by Paul; he did review the standard Taurus Judge, and a 3" bbl will have a significantly lower velocity than a 13"bbl. Most .410 "Judge" Shotshells are factory rated by their respective manufacturers at about 750fps ( Winchester PDX and Hornady Triple Defense specifically ) for the most popular 3"bbl length. @@walkingwolf8072
Parts bin gun. Taurus had extra Judge frames and raging Hunter barrels. Never liked any short handled shotgun. Like the shockwave. This is no different. Just smaller caliber.
I think Taurus DIDN'T go far enough, 'out of the box', with this one. I'm calling it's intended purpose a home defense gun, or truck gun. It's a great start, though.
First of all, size isn't that much of a factor, so why not put a GIANT CYLINDER on it, with like 10 rounds or more? The barrel could easily fire from the bottom of the cylinder (if necessary), then have a laser site on top of the barrel... maybe a flashlight under the barrel.
And the last thing is how does buckshot spread out, from this thing at home defense distances? I guess you'd want something like a 6" circle at 25 feet? (not sure what's ideal)
What are the things that make an 'ideal' home defense gun?
1. Never jamming (revolver)
2. Quieter is better (subsonic/suppressed)
3. Shot 'spread' at shorter range
4. Laser sights or holosights (both eyes open)
5. Decent capacity (can't predict home invasions)
6. Normal to low recoil
7. Flashlight
8. ?
I think Taurus got a few things... why not go for one gun to rule them all?
i would guess the buckshot loads would come out in pretty much of a straight line, at least for a few yards.
How is it a cylinder bore? The 45 colt makes the barrel. 452-454
The 410 is a 41 so want the barrel be bigger than cylinder bore size for a .410?
can it handle 454 Casul ?
No
Once
The fact this is a modern firearm but wont handle 45lc +p is garbage.
This thing would be cool if you could run buffalo bore or Underwood +p stuff.
I really wish they'd make a smooth bore "firearm" version like the Mossberg Shockwave
It's an awesome gun. Where it's the size it is I'd like to see them put qd sling mounts on it like some of the long s&w 500's make it easier to carry on a long hike.
It may be fun gun but it and Shockwave or cruiser type shotguns just are not that easy to shoot. A shotgun with a stock is far better for self defense.
Great review
Honestly thought this was one of the goofiest "home defense guns" ive seen but being easy to shoot does make sense. But still, imagine getting clapped by this 💀
I wish they would just ramp up production of the circuit judge.
⁴⁵⁷Akademick🔪
Another Great Video 💯 Thank You 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Hahahaha
Haha I noticed the easter egg when "stock" was mentioned at the beginning.
Will there be a 20 gauge?
Unlikely. 410 is the only caliber that allows them to get away with classifying this as a pistol and not a shotgun. As soon as the bore goes over .50 caliber, the rules change. Taurus considered a 28-gauge Judge years ago but there just wasn't any way to sell it in the US without a tax stamp, so they abandoned the project.
😞
Genius
So, does the Judge have a rifled barrel?
Yes, otherwise it would be an sbs
Is Taurus trying to out Kel-Tec Kel-Tec?
The Circuit Judge is a Rossi but Taurus does own Rossi. BTW, its .410 bore, not gauge. Gauge for a .410 bore would be 67.5 gauge while some Europeans and their shotguns incorrectly refer to it as 36 gauge. Cylinder bore? It can also shoot .45 Colt so it should have some rifling even if its shallow. Thanks for mentioning and showing the .45 Colt since most reviewers only mention and show .410 shotshells.
Thanks for clarifying below about the shallow rifling. When you said cylinder bore it threw me.
Eh, if you say 4-10 gauge, people know it's a shot shell. Nobody knows what a boor is.
@@hxhdfjifzirstc894 So ignorance is truly bliss.
Hello I also love 410 caliber, there are many videos on my site on how I load 410 caliber cartridges.
Привет из РОССИИ!!!)))
I just ordered mine yesterday. Can't wait to get it home.
Doesn’t spread enough at short range. Stick to the short barrel Judge indoors.
OK, but I have a shockwave...
У нас подобный инструмент называется " Смерть председателя ". 👍😁
Everybody talks about putting a flashlight or laser on the front picatinny rail. Why not do something more cooler or more effective? My idea is to mount either a bayonet or a 37 mm flare gun launcher.
Bayonets are dangerous! You might stab someone!
i kinda like the bayonet. maybe a spring loaded spike like the italian carbines.
California approved?
california compliant?? not while guvner nuisance is around - or the rest of the kalifornia kommies.
So, in theory, there's no reason they cant make something like this in 20ga or 12ga as long as the barrel is rifled...
maximum legal pistol/rifle caliber is still .50 caliber. unless you're dealing with antiques.
GOOD SHOW THANKS GREAT JOB
Taurus needs to make their own desert eagle but make it unique and be the first striker fired 50AE and 44mag
a .44 mag version of the circuit judge is or was marketed in australia.
I want one in 12 gauge
How is this a good idea?
Very cool
Hmm cool
Legitimately may get one.
Will this be sold as a pistol or maybe a “firearm” like the Axe and Shockwave?
Because it has a rifled barrel, it is simply classified as a pistol. No NFA or non-NFA firearm shenanigans to worry about. The only states that would ban this are the ones that already ban the Judge.
@@herbderbler1585 Thanks.
looks like it qualifies as a pistol.
I need this!!
Thanks Allan. Great job. Good info. God bless.
LETS GO BRANDON
Excellent video!
Can you shoot 454 casull in it?
Don't buy a gun!
@@tjizzle2993 why?
No. But then 45 Colt will kill a moose so no need.
A moose is one thing but passing through barriers and still having knockdown power while maintaining a flat trajectory is why I try to get the 454 casull when ever possible. I down own a 454 Casull or 45 colt so really I would be happy with either
@@BullseyeBenR You might find this interesting.
Starting at 4:48 he is firing from short barrel 45 Colt Judge into dangerous game simulation of...
thick hide=>muscle layer=>Bone=>more tissue.

👍!
COMPAUNNNNº
I wish it held at least 8 rounds
I don't see any good reason, to NOT have a giant cylinder on this thing. It's not going in anybody's pocket, so no need to limit to 5 rounds... IMO they screwed up on that point.
🤘😎🤘
Pretty cool idea even if I think the Judge, in general, is crap much like everything that comes from Taurus. The longer barreled models do seem to make more sense.
is it smoothbore or rifled?
All Taurus Judges come with a rifled barrel.
The Taurus is rifled but it's shallower than typical, my guess is so that it doesn't effect the wade coming out of a shotgun shell but still has something for that 45 long colt
@@justinmellem8964 Federal handgun buckshot has a 6 inch spread at 25 yards out of a 2.5 inch barrel. This is a 13 inch barrel so I'm guessing 40 yards you could have a fairly tight spread.
They would have been better off using😊 45 ACP because it's cheaper and higher velocity easier to get
Please safety check the weapon at start of video.
I'm sure someone with his vast experience already did. Don't need to for our sakes.
@@kirkcharboneau1090 There's no downside to propagating proper safety techniques. Three seconds, done.
Is it a rifle bore or smooth bore?
👍👍
