Taurus Judge

I always thought that firing something like that would break your wrist if you weren't careful. And how legal is it? Should it technically be considered a sawed off shotgun?

It's classified as a handgun, so it doesn't need to comply with rifle or shotgun requirements. The cartridge it fires doesn't always have to do with what it is and therefore what it has to be.

It's a nifty concept, but I personally have no use or want for it, as it's niche is fairly small (snake gun, trail gun, and those can be better served by other guns too). I doubt anyone would carry this thing concealed over a regular revolver or automatic. It's good to hear you've fired one and have some good things to say about it though, and to hear from you at all, GM!

Nah, it's recoil isn't that bad really. A little stout but I've shot way worse pistol calibers.

I have a friend who owns one. It's a fun gun to shoot but that's about all. I wouldn't buy one. Very innaccurate even at relatively short distances. If I lived somewhere that I may need to shoot a snake then maybe but otherwise I wouldnt' get one. I saw a video on the Judge a while back that showed it being used as a pistol to prevent carjackings and attacks while in your car. This is a viable option because it would all be very close range. Still though, there are other options for that as well. I can't look now but if I can find it later I will post the video. I seem to recall it being pretty interesting.

Revolver wise, I'd take a S&W Air light over this big and heavy thing.
