hello Jow Forums, i'm planning on buying a taurus judge, specifically this 4 inch barrel model
it looks like a very fun range gun and i already own a 410 shotgun and i really want a wheelgun, so it's a match made in heaven.
but i also want to try to concealed carry it, preferably on an ankleholster.
is this a bad idea? a goood idea? and where can i find a good ankleholster that will hold this specific model with the 4 inch barrel? most only seem to accept 2 inch barrels.
Don’t, they are impractical to carry and horribly balanced. Complete meme gun. If you want a revolver to carry, invest in a .357.

Hate to say it, but I have had a judge for the about 6 years now, I keep it clean and it’s never failed me. I would feel comfortable counting on it if needed. Not a comfy carry piece though, unless you wanna LARP as a cowboy with a gun outside your pants.

>buying a gun to spite retards online God damn this thread is shit and so are you
Connor Lewis
i imagine it cant possibly be that uncomfortable if i carry it on my ankle, just not having much luck finding an ankle holster for it online. will have to ask around at LGS.
If you ankle carry that thing you are actually retarded
Cameron Hughes
why? ive never carried before, only own long arms, so i probably have no idea what im talking about.

Its not high speed low drag tactically operational hardcore mil spec tier. Dhu

The revolvers are and always have been top notch. Even when their M&P and other bullshit lines took fire, their revolvers didn't change at all.
And the M&P 2.0 line is top fucking tier, user.

I've ankle-carried quite a few small backups in the past. Even tiny, lightweight ones eventually hurt my ankle bones, and even wearing 2 pairs of socks. Rethink ankle carry, especially for something this big and heavy.
If you just HAVE TO ankle-carry it, consider big, heavy, tall leather boots, with a holster attached to it. This puts the weapon in the same place, but attaches it more securely to you. I know at least four long time pros who carried 4" barrel Smiths like this.
Trust me when I tell you that running hard, jumping over things, landing hard from a high jump, or bounding down stairs with a flimsy elastic strap holding a piece on your ankle is an 'exciting' experience. I've seen back up weapons making it to the bottom of the stairs before its owner.
#1 rule: don't kick your gun to the shitskin you're chasing.
do all ankle holsters work like the one in your pic or are there ones that strap higher up the leg? i wear fairly big shoes and almost always wear long pants, and i dont do much strenous excercise, but i walk alot of places and i run in the mornings. i want it to be pretty concealed.
also, could you post an example of what you mean by "big, heavy, tall leather boots with a holster attached"?
i was planning on comparing 410 slugs to .45 LC at the range and seeing which had better penetration.
what do you think about using slugs in a defense situation? more effective? less? ive shot 410 slugs out of my shotgun before and they leave pretty big holes in stuff.

>ankle carry a fucking judge How fucking large/fat are you?
Jackson Harris
i weigh about 250-270 pounds last i weighed myself, im kinda chonky, recently started working out and working on a diet.
i wear pants that easily go down to my ankles so i figure ankle carry is a good bet for reliable and concealed CCW.
Colton Ross
.45 LC has more energy and offers better options for effective ammunition from a short barrel.
Lincoln Evans
Not him, but because it's a clunky 2 lb piece of shit that should not be strapped to your foot. A pound on your feet is like 5 on your back. It doesn't sound like much, but you better believe that thing is going to be ungodly uncomfortable and slow you down. Plus, drawing would almost certainly be a nightmare.

If you search the web for, "boot holster", and sort for images, you'll see what I mean. Some are custom made, others are slip-on belt holsters clipped to a boot.
If you buy tall boots, you can get the height you want to place the gun at. Those in your pic wouldn't work, as they are ankle boots.
One friend wore tall cowboy style boots with an aggressive tread, stiff uppers, and clipped a holster to the top. He carried a snubby like this.
You should buy it then. Remember the proper way to holster it is between your lips.
Samuel Sanders
i appreciate the pictures and help. did some reading and decided maybe ankle holstering isnt a good idea, but i'll keep the boot idea in mind. i just dont want to put hairs on end when people see me carrying is all.
Jack Rogers
Hell, with some cutler rivets, you could bolt a regular pancake holster right to the top of the boot.
NO probs. I've seen it all, believe me! Whatever you do, make sure it's tight & secure, and loose, stiff jeans will hide it.
Good luck. A crusty old operator told you that.
Adrian Sullivan
Oh, and to all the asshats in this thread tryna talk you into or out of THEIR opinions, fuck them.
ANY gun is ALWAYS better than no gun. Train with it, make it yours, make it part of your hand, and you're 95% there. Ballistics, weight, etc., is the last 5%.
The S & W is a much better gun, but Taurus offers the polymer version, which will probably break (eventually) if you constantly shoot slugs or really hot 45lc or if you just constantly shoot it period.
the only advantage Taurus adds is less weight which might make it a carriable gun but i still wouldnt recomend. .410 sucks anyways
John Lopez
Ive always wondered if they are gonna come out with like a 16ga or 20ga variant of this style of revolver, sure, it would be like 3-4 shot cylinder but it would still be awesome
Samuel Flores
ignore the uppity richfags op, grab a taurus and a sleeveless t shirt and a 32 pack of keystone light and go nuts
Brody Ross
I did some minor googling about my own question here, the 20ga revolver and maybe it wouldnt even be legal, and would be considered AOW, the governer/judge get around this buy actually being chambered in 45 long colt first and foremost, but that doesnt even make a lot of since, seeing them advertised as shooting .410 would seemingly not be allowed if that were the case.
either way S & W can just make some monster bullet that fits in the 20ga cyliner and say its actually chambered in THAT but you can also shoot 20ga shells
Justin Morris
>conceal carry a Taurus judge Fucking why? Just carry a normal handgun you retard.
Justin Ross
Yeah they're fun. You already invest in the ammo. As a defense gun, meh kinda reaching. Especially ankle carry lol. IDK man they're just plain fun. Probably dope for snake protection, and the buck shots cool.
