hey guys,
i just picked up a used 2.5'' judge, seems like new, i loaded it with federal 410 2.5'' judge loads today and a few were hard to get all the way into the cylinder, about 1/2 way up the brass collar, some went in easy, some had to be pushed hard, then when i went to eject them it was impossible to push the rod back, i had to hammer it with a hard rubber coated lock, all loads were never fired as i got nervous when i noticed the tight fit, whats the problem here? |
| Took my new 3in blue judge to the range today. Not allowed to shoot .410's out of it so shot about 60 .45LCs. After about 30 RDs or so a fired case got stuck underneath the extractor rod. Also the front fiber sight fell out. WTF! Revolver is 6 days old. I sent a letter out to Taurus today. I'll report what happens.......... |
Taurus CS called in about a week and after our conversation they are sending out a new sight and we agreed to fire the revolver again to see if I could duplicate the shell under the extractor rod again. I had since fired 3 different types of .410's and they all went off without incident!

I have a 3" SS Judge and have had zero problems shooting many ammo types through the gun. I have read on some other boards that some 410 shells get stuck in the cylinder.
Winchester #6, #4, 000 buck & 45 long colts shoot fine through my Judge. I really enjoy this gun. |
| I have shot several different types of .410 in my judge I have found that cheap .410 shells don't work well, because of the thin hulls. But all the quality ammo I have shot, Remington, Winchester, Federal, I have have not had a single problem. I have shot #9, #7 1/2, #6, #4, 000 buck, slugs, and have not had any problems. I bought some cheap .410 shells, can't remember the brand, but they go stuck and were a pain to get out. As far as 45LC I have not had any problems, but it has been hard to come by lately. |

I have two of the Judge Public Defenders (.410/.45 LC) and they have also worked excellent. I would agree with ya and stick to good new ammo from these hand-shotguns....love em though! |
