SHOTGUN HANDGUN: TAURUS JDUGE
About this video
Colion reviews the Taurus Judge revolver, which he describes as chambered in .45 Long Colt and .410 shotgun shells. He walks through the gun’s design, ergonomics, trigger feel, and overall quality, explaining that while he finds the concept interesting and the execution solid, he views it primarily as a novelty purchase rather than a practical carry gun. Colion highlights the comfortable grip, aggressive hammer texturing, and smooth heavy trigger as positives, but notes the dated aesthetic and his personal preference against revolvers for everyday carry.
Key takeaways
- Colion considers the Taurus Judge a novelty purchase rather than a practical carry gun, citing its size and his preference for semi-automatics over revolvers
- Colion praises the gun’s ergonomics, particularly the comfortable Ribber grips designed to absorb recoil and the aggressive texturing on the hammer for confident cocking and decocking
- Colion notes the trigger is heavy but smooth with good staging capability in double-action, and performs beautifully in single-action mode with minimal creep
