why are these guns so damn popular with fudds?
a buddy who works at a gun store says they sell a shitton of these and mostly to 45+ year olds.
why? what makes them so damn popular with these people?
anyone else work at a gun store and has noticed the same thing?

why do you care?
Muh shotshells
Don't you mind that 410 is garbage in every regard
Probably has to deal with fudds whose judges have explosively disassembled
Because knowledge does not equal comprehension.
>dude pistol shotgun lmao
Is all they're riding on and it's really just damn good marketing for people who don't care about the technical aspect of things.
sold to retards who fail to understand ballistics from such a short barrel
they're basically being sold a weak 9mm with awful penetration and no expansion, is huge, high recoil, etc etc
I would be curious to find out what people carry as a defensive round in them. Anyone wanna go over-under on 50% of people using birdshot?
you fucking bet
I don't think there is even ammo developed for such a retard short barrel. Maybe a slug would be good.
The pellets from normal 410 shot fail to spread appreciably at such close ranges and basically collide into the back of each other.
I have tried as hard as I can and I cannot find a more useless gun in the world today.
"What if I need a snake gun" then fucking carry some rat shot in your favorite caliber loose.
Car jacking gun? Well you're not limited by size! Go full fudd and get a 357 mag or a 45 ACP.
I'm 42
The judge is one of the biggest wastes of shelf space in a gun store.
That being said....
Friend just gave me 20 rounds of .410 dragon's breath. I'm thinking of buying a judge for 'em.
I was watching Live PD and they were hunting some drunk Fudd who had just shot a trooper in the head with a Taurus Judge for some stupid old drunk fudd reasons. The cop made a total recovery and the fudd was v&
In a way it's great that the non-lethal taurus judge attracts such old tards
picis also idiot an idiot magnet
Are those tacks and a bb?
The raging judge is pretty cool.
I want to shoot clays with one
Perhaps they're great for range toys and maybe snake killing
Woops
There was a 28gauge version in the works before the ATF took a shit on it.
it's that on stupid meme bullet that flakes shards into soft targets, forget their name
pythonesque... I like it.
I guess it is good to be around other people who are more likely to be medically trained if you're shooting it.
The memewave has got to kill some of the market for the judge.
G2 RIP Rounds
>feeding issues galore
Ever been shot with a .410?
It's the PT Cruiser of revolvers.
>>The pellets from normal 410 shot fail to spread appreciably at such close ranges and basically collide into the back of each other.
Out of a rifled barrel? Get real, user.
Link?
I have a Judge with a 3" chamber.
It's a fun gun to shoot, what can I say?
High-velocity birdshot makes a nice little cloud of shot.
Buckshot packs a pretty good wallop.
And there are some pretty cool rounds for it, in addition to the .45 LC thumpers.
I'd rather get shot by that than 45 or 9. I am not a snek. Mountain lions, coyotes, bears, and geese aren't snakes either.
>why are these guns so damn popular with fudds?
LMFTFY
>why aren't these guns that can blow a fist sized hole halfway through a fat mans body not more popular with everyone when thinking of self defense?
Not everyone needs 18 rounds to feel safe kiddo.
Yeah, I was sad about that.
Anyone who thinks .410 Is a meme round Is a complete fucking idiot.
If .22 kills more people than any other round In the US, than a baby shotshell will do just fine.
If not kill your sorry ass, then most definitely maim, implying your only shot once.
I swear It's like people forget that It's fucking lead balls flying through the air at 900fps.
>900fps.
you can almost double that if you buy .327 magnum
>.327 magnum
literaly fucking meme round worse than 300blk. just get a .357
I've noticed this too. Rednecks LOVE this gun. There is a Jow Forums poster who killed a bunch of birds with it, so I guess it isn't useless. But fuds think 410 is better than Long Colt for self defense for some reason.
This.
Mine is accurate with 45 LC. The PDX shells are also acceptably accurate. I have the public defender, and it conceals pretty well. I don't feel undergunned when I'm out.
I work at a gun store and can't get people to buy them.
Then again, I'm a brutally honest guy and sales isn't my primary trade so when people are asking about them for a city carry or HD rather than a woods gun, I tell them there's better guns for those purposes.
I had one. It was the first gun I had ever purchased. I traded it along with some cash for this.
I do kind of regret getting rid of it sometimes. It was kinda fun sometimes, but .45 LC is so spendy, and I traded it off before I got into reloading and didn’t know you could reload them for like 10 cents per round.
Why though?
>"Why is something I don't like popular with other people!"
they drink brazilian beer (budweiser) and shoot brazilian shit... (taurus)
An entire ammo market sprung up around the judge specifically you retard
is that a claridge?
It's sold to guys with disposable income who already have guns and like to shoot targets of opportunity.It's marketed as a defensive gun sure, but most people I've seen that have them purchase them for novelty
>why are these guns so damn popular
Not a judge perse, but I was looking at the S&W Governor as a dedicated snake round pistol. I wasn't interested for too long though.
Honestly it isn't that big of a step to go from "Why do you LIKE that particular gun?" to "Why do you NEED a gun?"
If your gonna do that, then you have to go with the governor
Welp considering the judge and governor both accept .45LC which easily hits .44mag velocity with a bullet twice as heavy as .327, who gives a shit.
My cousin has one of the carbines and it's cool as shit. Took it to two gunsmiths for failure to fire before I told him his firing pin was broken. I was secretly hoping he would just sell it to me
>why are these guns so damn popular with fudds
And men covered in duct tape
>I was looking at the S&W Governor as a dedicated snake round pistol. I wasn't interested for too long though.
I wouldn't be either. Not when you could buy any .38 or .45 revolver ever and use ratshot for a fraction of the price. He'll even a derringer.
But since you brought it up you could probably find a sewer pipe model 10 for 200 bucks
I can't imagine wanting to buy one of these for retail price (about 500)
but they're not awful.
They have about half the muzzle energy of .45lc (which the gun will also fire) while having about the same perceived recoil, anything other than slugs (theres only 1 brand of non-3" slugs since the gun will only take 2.5" shells) will pattern like ass (we're talking "all 3 balls in 3-ball 000buck will miss a man-sized silhouette at 15 yards" bad) through it because it's rifled.
.45lc is simply far more lethal than any .410 load you could fire through one of these.
The wad will hold the shot together for a few feet, yes. But once the shot leaves the wad it will go fucking everywhere but straight.
>at 900fps
>2" barrel
Try about 650fps.
>Wanting to shoot magnum out of a taurus
They make a 3 inch chambered version.
My wife bought me a circuit judge in .44 a few years ago. She hide the whole purchase from me. It was a thoughtful and wonderful gift.
To this day I still haven't fired the damn thing. Doesn't stop it from being the one gun with the most meaning to it.
Wilkinson Arms model Linda, 9mm. Really fun to shoot and pretty accurate, albeit heavy. When I got it it wasn’t missing the rear sight, but luckily not long after I got it, the company went back into business so I got a rear sight from them.
I’ve been thinking of buying a barrel and stock and turning mine into a carbine.
You don't know about cutting the casing?
I mentioned this in another thread but me and a buddy used to play a retarded version of paintball with Judges and birdshot at 10 yards. My Chinese paintball mask didn't even get scratched and my fake leather jacket didn't even get an impression in it.
Still hurts on bare skin, but you probably won't even get bleeding until 7 yards minimum.
>20 rounds of .410 dragon's breath
wat, they make Dragon's Breath in 410?
That's so fucking retarded I'm not even mad, I actually laughed reading this.
I work at a pawn and gun store, the guys we sell to are similarly 40+ and ALL of them say they're snek guns for when they're on their tractors.
Now I am a relatively new owner of a tractor and I have never needed a pocket shotgun to take down a snake while using it so I don't know what the fuck they're on about.
Yeah, in hindsight it was probably not very smart considering it was impossible to miss in the first place, but because we never really aligned the sights, it saved my life in the final game where my buddy accidentally loaded a slug.
Here I was going to post that it's all fun and games until someone mixes up the ammo
Yeah, it bounced off of my bare skin
did you find yours for free at the bottom of a river
You will remember this 30 years from now when a snake bites you on your tractor.
What about all the deer that I have killed with a single shot break action .410?
Long barrel. The Judge has like 3" whereas your shotgun had at least 24".
Being a faggot and double posting but ammo also has a lot to do with it. .410 birdshot loses velocity rapidly after it separates and doesn't have much velocity to begin with. Combine that with the weight of each projectile and you have something as lethal as an airsoft gun past a certain distance.
the best gun is one you didn't pay for.
I kind of like it with that weathered look.
pic is earliest picture of it I have but it was after it'd sat in a bucket of pb blaster for an entire day
it was a complete rust ball when I got it
everything was seized.
What if you just I don't know, bought a 44 instead of that shoots shotshells out of a rifled 3 inch barrel shits fucking trash.
>.22 kills more people hur
post proof thats a meme
You definitely have that "cobbled together from trash POS, found at the bottom of a scrap-heap" aesthetic working for you.
>accidentaly
Whats it like to be a gullible faggot?
They're fun, it's a relatively inexpensive way to use splattergat food in a short barrel, and despite Jow Forums memeing on you, they function reliably
6" barrel for varmints, you fag
Ranch, woods, and camp carry. Long barrel version takes snakes, squirrels, birds, fish, coons, and possums with birdshot through #4 buck, and can take deer with a proper 45lc load
Plus, fun for shooting clays, and proper 45lc loads can be used for protection
And then there's always just the novelty of it. Fuck it, they're fun
>fist sized hole
lol shotgun pistol dooode like a 12GAY shotgun with stupping powah but a pistol fuck yeah XDDDDD
>Not everyone needs 18 rounds
stop shittin on revolvers dude clearly u h8t wheel gats not just the judge u racis dude fucking tactitards and their extra large clips annoy me so much amrite
>kiddo
>that reaction image
look at these these stupid 4channers, I sure showed'em whos da boss, how will they ever recover? Gottah post it on reddit!
You don't know the reputation of the raging series so you?
Im glad they're back in business, mostly because of the magazines
Oh course you don't NEED to. Its just what people do when snakes are around their property because nobody wants that shit
Alternate timeline Mad Max
or you could use a pistol without meme ammunition.
>6" barrel shotgun
I hope you don't like your dogs.
>Buckshot packs a pretty good wallop.
Against what, rabbits?
brassfetcher.com
So the 000 is kinda, sorta adequate for social use as long as the weather isn't too cold. #4 is utter shite, and the mixed load ones are just kinda bad.
Obviously some of you don't understand terminal ballistics, and thinks skin Is made of hard leather apparently.
But too each there own.
It's a neat toy
>cut shells
>giant cylinder gap
WHAT COULD GO WRONG
ratpunk
neat
Whats everyone going on about 410 in the judge. I thought you only were supposed to use 45LC, have I been doing it wrong?
are you implying Taurus revolvers are strong enough to handle magnum loads?
It's a pistol that shoots shotgun shells, and it's the closest thing we will get to a real shotshell pistol.
Goddamn I want a legal 12gauge pistol.
My Governor. The water was further away than it looks though.
It's a great pistol for women who raise chicken and have to kill them. not even meming
Yeah.
I was thinking about the judge and really I just want a over-under 20gau pistol.
id buy one
You've actually been doing it right, since you already have a Judge.
Doing it very right is just getting a 357/44MAG or a magazine fed.
>soiboi thinks everyone is soft like him
what did you do to that poor gun?
