  Hi Derrick, it is considered a handgun, and you will need a pistol permit to complete the transfer. Another infringement on our 2A rights.

• Q: I would like to use this as a backpack gun. 1. Would the longer barrel keep shot-shells or buckshot pattern closure together at father distances.
  2. With the steel alloy frame would this be any better with +P ammo. Nothing too hot but just a little extra power.
  I live in SE Pa and want it as a snake gun and bear protection. The bears are smaller and not the size of a grizzly. Bear attacks are rear and I have already had encounters with smaller caliber firearms that I didn’t have to use.

  A:

  Hi Mark and welcome. Shotshell pattern is improved with the longer barrel and the extra velocity extends the range a bit. The Judge is not +P rated. Cheers and stay safe!

  A:

  Hi Calvin and welcome. Yes. For home defense you will need the right loads. Same for hunting. For Hunting, I would max the range around 60 to 70 yards. https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/84263/hornady+critical+defense+.410+ga+fxt+slug+with+flex+tip+20rd+box ----------------------------------------------------------- https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/86344/sellier+%26+bellot+shotgun+buckshot+.410+ga+2.5+000buck+25rd+box -------------------------- Slugs for hunting: https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/65095/winchester+410+ga.+2+1+2+1+5+oz+super+x+lead+rifle+slug
