my dad got the judge as a snake/hog pistol for his land. he's now had to use it a few times, as he is clearing some underbrush to build his country get-away home. when using 410 and no.12, it's a beautiful snake gun. The pattern gets very wide quickly, so if it's not 10-12 feet or less the patter is huge. as for shooting 45 colt vs 410 in it, he said that the 45 colt is very easy to shoot, and so is the 410. he stated that the 410 is more of a handfull, but with the grips on the judge, it's very easy, and mom can shoot it with no worries. the number one thing my dad loves about this pistol is the fiber optic front bead. he said that it is so natural and easy to aim, that it's the perfect uh-oh snake gun.

my dad said that he loves this gun because he can load a couple 410 shells and then some 45 colts. if he sees a snake, he can dispatch it with ease, and if a local critter that's a bit more meat or aggressive, he can simply use th 45 colt, and not be worried about stopping power.
