I have one and I originally bought it for snake control on the ranch, not home defense. If you are certain that you want a Judge vs Governor for home defense go with S&W as a higher quality product. I shot a .410 outside once without hearing protection to see what snake control would be like and I think that I still have hearing loss. It does have an advantage of being able to load multiple variations say 2 .45acp, 2 .410, and 2 45 colt. It would not be my choice for home defense and it is mainly a safe queen at my house. I personally keep a 18" Mossberg Maverick 88 with #4 buck for home defense.
