Great fun at the range, but I had to send mine back to Taurus after something in the trigger quit working a couple of months of using it. Taurus sent me a new gun immediately after I shipped the broken one in. So overall Taurus did right in the end, and none of this should reflect poorly on Bud's Gun Shop as they can't control Taurus' quality control.

Been wanting a Taurus Judge forever and thanks to Bud's, I got one. This is a quality product just like all of the Taurus revolvers that I have purchased. THE .410 Ammo is kind of expensive and hard to find, but I was able to score some from Bud's as well. This Public Defender Poly will be my woods and fishing gun. #4 shot for snakes and 45lc for 4 legged and 2 legged critters. Thanks again Bud's!

This Taurus Public Defender with the 2" barrel is a superb firearm for personal defense and its grip fits great in my hand. When at the range its accuracy when firing either 45 cal or 410 is great. Before purchasing this firearm I researched the product and asked some question to the Buds Gun Shop staff who provided me with excellent informational guidance. I purchased this firearm through Buds Gun Shop as I have for several other firearms because the entire staff at this licensed firearm dealer has proven to be the best dealer and cares about their customer relationships. I will continue to recommend Buds Gun Shop to everyone...

Holy Toledo. It’s a lot of fun. I gotta tell you: the first shot literally rattled my jaw - and the second shot was a doozy as well!
The .45 long Colt fires smoother than the .410 buckshot (I’ve fired 9-pellet rounds); the slugs sound like you just launched a middle and feel like they might actually take down a T-Rex from half a mile away. Okay, hyperbole, but ... wait a minute... aren’t we talking about a 7-inch shotgun, essentially?
As a CCW - not so much for me, but maybe others. But probably not. I’ve read the argument that defense situations are unpredictable, and in one you need to be able to shoot fast and accurately. You won’t be shooting fast with this bad boy. But on the other hand, I live in a small apartment in one of America’s largest cities. If a bad guy kicks the door open at 3am ... he’s in big trouble if I’ve got one of those shells in this thing. The sound alone will send anyone running for dear life. Hell, the SIGHT of one will! The shell option really limits the potential for serious collateral damage in a neighboring unit, etc.
It’s fun at the range, but this won’t be the only gun you want to own. If you are a new shooter, spring for this if you want to have some fun; but make sure to pick up another (somewhat) affordable poly 9mm or something similar with which to practice. The ammo is also pretty expensive for the Public Defender. It adds up.
All told, the gun has it’s purposes (be they practical is another debate), but may not be the ideal everyday carry. It’s a fun one though. And it could certainly be a show-stopper. I wouldn’t want to be caught on the wrong side of one.

Great pistol. Consider though that being a polymer frame it is very light. As with any firearm kick depends on the load your firing, but i can see how it might be too much for some people.

I received my Public Defender earlier today. I bought some ammo from my FFL, and went directly out into the desert to test out "The Judge." Wow!!! I am really impressed with this revolver. It only needed a slight windage adjustment, and it was on. I shot some really tight groups. I tried some 410 cartdridges (#8). Really nice. I do believe this will be my new "favorite." This is the 2nd firearm that I have bought from Bud's. All I can say about Bud's is that I like their prices, choice of firearms, and their service. Once payment was received by them, my revolver was on its way, and in my hands in a matter of a few days. I would have gotten it yesterday, except that I was out of town. Had I been in town, I would have had the gun in my hands in a couple of days. You can't go wrong doing business with Bud's.

This is my first firearm purchase from buds and I must say they didn't disappoint. The shipping was fast and my firearm came in excellent shape. I got my judge public defender today and took it shooting already and I'm impressed with it so far. The recoil is almost nonexistent or at least not as bad as you would think shooting 45 colt or 410 ammo. After this purchase from buds I will be making many more from them, cant be at their prices and customer service
