Taurus Judge Magnum 6.5-Inch Magnum .410 and .45 Colt Stainless Revolver

A: Standard 410 shotgun shells will be fine in this pistol Jeff. There are some "Self-Defense" shells that are better than others such as : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/656_2081_10000867/products_id/59185/Federal%20PD412JGE000%20Personal%20Defense%204P-000%20Buckshot%202.5/quot;%20410ga/ andhttps://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/656_2081_10000867/products_id/714002076/FED%20PD%20410GA%202.5/quot;%20000BK%2020/200/

A: you can use and 2.5 and 3 inch .410 shotgun shells but for home defense you will want some of the defense .410 rounds like https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/656_2081_10000867/products_id/59185/Federal%20PD412JGE000%20Personal%20Defense%204P-000%20Buckshot%202.5/quot;%20410ga/

A: Edward, the barrel twist ratio is 1:12" Twist Rate. -- ((Specifications and Features)): - Taurus Judge Magnum Double Action Revolver 2-441069MAG - .45 Long Colt/.410 Bore - 3" Chamber (accepts either 2.5" or 3" .410 Shotshells) - 6.5" Barrel - 1:12" Twist Rate - Right Turn Groove Rifling, 6 Grooves - 5 Round Cylinder - Double Action/Single Action Operation - Rubber Taurus "Ribber" Black Grip - Compact Frame - Red Fiber Optic Front Fixed Sight - Fixed Rear Sight - Smooth Trigger Type - Taurus Security System/Transfer Bar Safety System - Overall Width 1.5" - Overall Height 5.1" - Overall Length 12.5" - Overall Weight 48oz - Matte Stainless Steel Finish.

A: Edward - This revolver features a 1:12 twist. The 410 shells need no rifling, and the 45 colt isn't exactly a 'precision' target cartridge anyway, so this twist rate is sufficient. In fact, this just isn't a 'precision target firearm'.

A: yes it will shoot slugs with no issues it may cause leading of the barrel so clean it good after using slugs (like any soft cast bullet)

A: Brian, slugs will work just fine. I would stick with Foster type Slugs. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/14319/winchester+410+ga+3%22+1%2f4+oz%2c+super+x+lead+rifled+slug

A: Kevin, This revolver is a Stainless Steel frame. The blued frame is all steel also.

A: Kevin, Buds description is incorrect. This is a Steel Framed Revolver Sir. https://www.taurususa.com/firearms/revolvers/taurus-judge-magnum/taurus-judge-magnum-revolvers-45-colt-410-mag-5-round-matte-stainless-2/

A: Hi Randy and welcome. The Taurus Judge Magnum is capable of chambering both .410 gauge 2.5" or 3" shotshells and 45 Colt ammunition. Cheers and stay safe!

A: It takes both 2 1/2 inch shells and 3 inch shells along with 45 long colt

A: Short answer is it'll take both 2-1/2" & 3" .410 shells.
