I guess I consider revolvers a hassle to clean because my only revolver (Taurus model 94) has 9 itty bitty chambers in the cylinder to scrub, so I guess 5 wouldn't be so bad.

Guys,

Hey-I'm all for buying something 'cause you want it. I believe that the Taurus Judge took off (like crazy) because it was a shotgun that fit in one hand and it would be just as popular without the .45 Colt capability (almost); the exploding watermelon ad certainly got my tail wagging. The problem with the Circuit Judge is that reasonably priced shotguns are readily available in brand names that are more enticing than Rossi; the Taurus Judge, as far as I know, has NO competition (surprisingly).

I'm sure it'll sell initially to those who want a gun that doesn't look like the rest of their collection, and they'll get some initial rounds through them; and that is certainly fine. I'm gonna' make a bold prediction: It won't find a niche and will be discontinued in less than 3 years; and I will give every poster to this thread a .22 Federal round if I'm wrong. I could be wrong-I was wrong about the TV show "Caveman", which I still think was a brilliant show.

About the Rossi Judge thingy, my question is, "Why?" Can't you just buy a .410 shotgun? Do people really want a .45 Colt/410 hybrid in a rifle with a revolver cylinder in place of a magazine? It looks like a goofy photo shop; and I bet it's horrific to clean. I thought the whole point of the Judge was to have effective scatter-shot in a handgun format for personal and home protection.

Seriously help me-To me a 12 and a 20 gauge is for shooting clay pigeons, birds, and burglars, and a .410 is for killing snakes and burglars at a short distance. I really don't know what a Colt .45 is for, except a big round for a revolver for personal and home defense. Are there hunting applications/needs for the Colt .45/.410 Hybrid long gun?
