0007,
I got the 3" Judge and I'll know more when I get it to the
range.I will let you know. Thanks again.

Well I got it to the range Sat. and was satisfied and surprised with the results.
The 3" 410 shells with 004 buck has 9 shot per round. At 20 feet and with 3 rounds fired I was showing 21 holes in a black, man sized target. More than 1/2 between the shoulders, chest high
or lower. From a 3" barrel I was surprised. The rounds were fired S/A.
The .45LC, also fired S/A at the same target, but at 20yds also did well. Three shots all in
center black 5 1/2" group. I am sure a better revolver shooter could lessen that by 2+".
Some may ask why only 3 rounds and quit. Well on the .45LC it was a matter of economics.
At approximately $1.25 per round I learned what I wanted to know.
As to the 3" 410s I also found out what I wanted to know. I live in a small two BR flat and at
21' anything in the place can be protected.
Although I found the Judge to be very comfortable to shoot,at least S/A, which I attribute to the
grips that came with it. On the other hand my wife wanted nothing to do with it, saying she was
quite happy with her .380 auto.(Which I might add she is very proficient with using!)
To those that are not familiar with the Judge you can load the 410 and 45LC in anyway you
wish. i.e All 410 or all 45LC or mix and match the five chambers with both.
Hope I have explained myself. Sometimes I know what I want to say.....but I just don't write it
out plainly.
