galvestonredneck: they also come in 4" (a little harder to find) and polished stainless. Here's a picture of mine in the brushed stainless and one in polished stainless:

I'll admit I have one also It's the brushed stainless model with 3" barrel, 2 1/2" shell. I shoot a Winchester 9410 Packer (lever action that uses 2 1/2" .410 shells) rifle and thought the Judge would be a fun gun to shoot at the range when shooting my Packer. It is also one of two handguns I keep in a quick access safe by my bed. I've shot size 4, 7, 7 1/2, 8, 8 1/2, and 9 through my Judge and haven't had any issues. The ammo I use is:

Winchester Super X HS High Brass Game Loads
Winchester AA HS Super Sport Sporting Clays
Fiocchi 410GT9
Estate Super Sport Competition Target Load

I prefer Winchester and/or Fiocchi because they have smooth hulls which seem to fit the Judge better than the ammo with ribbed hulls (the Estate ammo).

I haven't personally tested the "spread" of the different size ammo. The distance from the side of my bed to my bedroom door is about 12-15 feet so I do plan to test the ammo to see what the differece is in the spread at no more than 15 feet.

I enjoy shooting the Judge and am glad I purchased one. Of course, I have handguns in several other calibers and wasn't purchasing this gun for a specific purpose. It was one of my "just because" purchases
