When they first came out with those they had a 6" model. I'm not sure if there still making it or not, but it would be a fun little grouse gun also.

Those Judge revovers are a lot of fun. My brother has the snubie 3" chamber model. We took it out a while ago to try busting some hand thrown clays. Once you get the hang of it, making hits is pretty easy. You're going to love it. :tup:

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

Got me a judge. I've been eyeing these for a while and figured what the heck. Hope to go play this weekend. I Got the 3" bbl, 2 1/2" chamber since I didn't want a real heavy one. I figure it should be good out to 20 feet or so.

Well it's a fun little piece. It's manageable with all the loads we tried but guys, this is just a plinker. I still think it'll be fine for shooting grouse that are standing within 20' but I think that 20' may be a stretch. I also believe it'd be fine for a very close range self defense pistol but thats it. It's not accurate and the patterns suck. If you want a good conversation piece and a fun little pistol to play with, go buy one. If you want to try to hit anything with this thats more than 20' feet away, don't. I shot at some clays on the ground and we had to very close to break them. We failed to hit any in the air. My final "yeah / nea" verdict is still out. I bought this for grouse when I'm bear hunting and nothing more. If it works at reasonable ranges I'll be happy. If not, I'll sell it.
