Title: Judge for side carry?
Post by: Viking360 on July 20, 2018, 01:54:24 PM: Was thinking of buying a Taurus judge for a side carry for archery season. Anyone carry one? Pros/cons, any other good options, looking to spend around $500. I like the option of 410 for grouse but I’m not sold yet. What do you guys think?

I like the Bonds the best but the Judge is my two. My son carries a Judge Public Defender.

These guns are designed for close up work.

A lot of guys don't like the Judge. I have killed grouse with it. But they all shoot PDX , slugs and buck shot better than shot shells.

The 45 long colt is a awesome round. :twocents:

Can you hunt grouse with one while archery hunting?
