That's pretty well why I'm selling it. I have plenty of .45 Long Colt and .45 ACP pistols. I just had the wrong impression based on Taurus advertising of what kind of power a .410 shotgun shell has. I can explode a watermelon with a $2 slingshot and a small rock. It is true that a small woman can handle the 3" Magnum Judge. Even the 3" so called "Magnum" slug in .410 had a rather mild recoil. The double 00 .410 shells had less recoil than shooting a sub compact Glock 30; which isn't bad at all to shoot.

I suppose it boils down the Judge being a special purpose pistol. The advertising of the knock down power of a .410 shot shell is very misleading. Even in the 3" magnum loads of .410, I'd venture to say that anything smaller than 00 buck would almost never deliver a lethal shot to a human. A snake or scorpion on the ground by your feet, yes. I hope I never have to fire any weapon at a person in my life. But if I do, I don't want to ever shoot with something that 'may' only wound them at best. The .45 Long Colt would deliver a lethal shot, but you don't need a 3" magnum Taurus Judge to shoot that round. I just need to figure what to do with the other 95 rounds (I bought 100 rounds) of .410 that I bought. I suppose in a regular shotgun a .410 would be a good shotgun for my 9 year old son to learn to shoot a smooth bore with.
