Customer Reviews for Taurus Judge .45LC / .410 3" Black Finish

The gun is mecanically sound but it was supposed to be a black finish. But instead i was shipped a matt black tauras judge that looks like a unfinished paint job. I bought a leather hulster made just for this gun and with in two weeks the gun is so scratched up that i can see metal all over it where the paint is gone what a cheap crappy finish. To make matters worse i used credova to finance the gun and spent 650 dollars that was supposed to be a loan. With in three days before i could even make the first payment they sold my loan to some leasing company that traped me in a one year lease paying a total of over 1,600 dollars for a low quality 500 dollar gun that was not even the finish i wanted. Dont use buds gun shops financing.

Nice gun no problems.

It kicks like a mule with a 410 shell in it. Absolutely devastating within 20 to 25 ft., but the round wont travel a 1/4 mile and hit an innocent. Good construction. Solid build.

ITS A JUDGE. NORMAL GUN, DONT HATE IT.

Excellent revolver, fun to shoot. Zero issues

One of my favorite firearms to date. I received it fast and in excellent condition as always. It's has a nice weight and shoots better than I expected even with specialty 410 shells, 45LC leaves a bit to be desired but it's not meant for distance! Holds a decent pattern up to about 9yrds.

This gun is Amazing! Too much fun! Just don't buy buds version of a holster that was supposed to work like a charm. It was the worst holster I've ever seen! I should get a full refund on this pos holster!

Beautiful truck gun .Function flawless. Thanks Bud Guns

Where to start with the famous judge revolver....
Its worth buying plain and simple.
Only thing I will say, is be careful of which shotgun shell brands you put into it, I used Fiocchi 2.5" target loads, and every time I'd shoot 5, 1 would blow the primer back just enough to prevent the cylinder from moving. Plus, the shells are super hard to eject. Stick with Winchester shells and you will have 0 problems. Apparently ribbed shells are a common problem with this gun. Anyways, buy the revolver and stop thinking about it.

I ordered the judge and I was warned that it might take longer to have my gun shipped do to the increase in purchases. Buds out did themselves and I received my purchase in one week. Looking over it the judge is not as heavy as I was expecting and its every bit intimidating as it’s name.

Gun was delivered quickly and in perfect shape to my fpl of choice. As usual, Buds proves why they are the best!!

Had this for years. Shot birdshot, buckshot, slugs and .45 Long Colt. Flawless! I really like having a shotgun for a pistol and it affordable, too! Thanks, Buds!

This gun is awesome. Great price great gun.

Forgive my punctuation as I am using voice text and am in the Deep South and Siri doesn't understand our "Kind of talk" lol but I hope this helps give a different perspective than just being a "snake"
Great Truck/Car gun for defense. I thought about the Smith and Wesson governor but I keep it barrel down between the seats in my car so if anyone approaches my car with Deadly intent Well I don't have to worry about ballistics through glass LOL. Youo know. Every shot 4 .36 cal balls are thrown at the attacker one right behind the other like a baseball after being thrown at least at defense range Will protect my son and wife while there with me and myself. And being barrel down between the seats I can get to it extremely quick a lot quicker than drawing my Glock 19 from my Waist. I do use it as a secondary but it's a perfect secondary and while I'm driving and in my vehicle it is my primary you can get to the pistol stuck between your seats barrel first a lot quicker than trying to draw from your waist when someone's coming up on you quick. But the best thing is instead of paying all that money for a Smith & Wesson governor you're just paying 400 bucks for a gun that will do just as good because at least in my situation I only use it in my vehicle To be able to protect my family and myself as quickly as possible and 20 .36cal rounds ( 000 buck ) coming from a revolver in five shots Will get the job done. And for some reason if it should get stolen well like I said you're only out $400ish not 800 and whatever it cost for the Smith and Wesson.
Pretty reliable though don't shoot it much just enough to keep accuracy up. The Trigger is FAR as better than you would expect.
I give it 3 Stars Because it is a good gun pretty well-made and the trigger is far better than one would expect but I always try and gauge on my ratings if a Cochran revolver is a 1 And a Ruger Super Redhawk Or a Dan Wesson pre CZ owned revolver is a 5..... Then I'd say 3 stars. Which to me means as long as you maintain and take care of it it will never let ya down.

Always a great experience with buds. , have not shot the pistol yet. Will post as soon as I do

Love this revolver. Perfect for home defense with it’s shotgun ability. Can get light load 45LC ammo with barely any recoil so the wife can shoot it too without hurting her wrists.

Great looking firearm works flawlessly fast shipping from Buds as always.

THIS GUN IS THE BEST FOR HOME DEFENSE.WILL NOT GO THROUGH YOUR WALL LIKE MOST HIGH MM GUNS. I WILL NEVER GIVE IT UP ,NETHER WILL MY WIFE. BUD'S IS THE BEST PLACE TO BUY A GUN; THANK YOU BUD;S.

My wife saw one used in a movie and had to have one. :) This is about the most fun you'll have shooting a handgun - we laugh with every trigger pull. It is easy to shoot with both .410 and .45 Colt rounds, and surprisingly accurate. Highly recommended.

A cheap revolver that shoots .45LC and .410 shells, what's not to love! Lots of fun to shoot!

First and for most Taurus is lying about the weight of the Judge! It is listed as 29 oz. When I bought it felt a little heavy, but I took it home and got out my scales, and guess what! It is 40 oz WOW! (Now since I left the Gun shop I now have a used gun, even if I have never fired it. I am have been carrying 19 oz 45 acp from Charter Arms. So how is this going work as CCW gun? Well, it works just fine with my PDA holster, which I wear on the outside of my cloths in plain view. I am not happy about Taurus not giving the true weight, but with all that said I am very happy with the Judge, and Bud's Gun shop for the lowest price and custom service. So, why shop any other place?

This has been my snake/varmint pistol I carry when working on the farm and it's a fun plinker also. I'm thinking about getting it Cerakoted soon. Thanks again Buds for your prompt delivery and courteous service.

This Taurus Judge...perfectly named, 45 cal, or a .410...the perfect home defense piece. The perfect weight. All around the perfect gun to show off and fend off. TAURUS...enough said.

Great layaway terms, very smooth transaction. My Taurus Judge was shipped really fast and was in perfect working condition. The first several rounds of put through it performed flawlessly. I was very pleased and I write the overall experience at a level 10 out of 10. I will definitely use budsgunshop again and I highly recommended it.
