The Taurus Judge has been one of the most desired guns available for home defense as it can shoot either a .410 Shotshell or a .45 Colt, but my personal opinion is that the regular model isn't very comfortable to operate or master. However, the Taurus Raging Judge 513 may be an improved option for you with a lighter weight and longer barrel.
.45 Long Colt and .410 Bore
6.5" barrel
3" Magnum chamber
7 rounds
Transfer bar safety
Single/double action
Medium alloy frame
Black rubber grip with cushion insert
Blued finish
Fiber optic fixed front sight

All rise for the biggest, meanest Judge on the market. The new Raging Judge Ultra-Lite now comes with the option to load the mighty .410 shotshell. That’s right, we’re giving you the option to choose from .410 3-inch or 2.5-inch shotshells and .45 Colt ammo—all in the same revolver! The Raging Judge Ultra-Lite has a 7-shot cylinder, larger than its brothers in the Judge line and offers the “Raging Bull” backstrap to reduce felt recoil. Larger, 7-Shot Cylinder
~~Compare to the regular Taurus Judge
The Judge retails for about $600
The Raging Judge 513 for about $700
However, shop around. I found the Judge on GunBroker.com for $400 and the Raging Judge for $550
