Re: Do You Own A Judge or Judge Clone?

I have the Governor Revolver and the Taurus "Long Gun" Judge rifle/shotgun. The revolver is a large handgun and I would not carry it concealed though you could open carry it. The Governor Revolver is a high-quality handgun and I think the same of the Taurus rifle/shotgun.

I strap on the Governor when I am mowing the grass around the ranch house in the summer for a quick dispatch of rattlesnakes. I use no. 9 shot--highly effective against rattlers at close distances.

I carry the Taurus Long Gun Judge rifle/shotgun in my pickup when I am out and about--again for rattlers with the same no. 9 shot. Since the Judge rifle/shotgun has a longer barrel it has a more concentrated shot pattern than the Governor revolver if you are several feet from the target and distance is an issue.

Some think the Governor/Judge revolvers loaded with .410 buckshot or .45 long colt are good defensive guns against carjackers and that may be the case though I would use my every day conceal carry for that purpose.
