- Hickok45 plays and experiments with the popular Taurus Judge revolver. It's a lengthy shooting session with a variety of ammunition types and target distances. I demonstrate patterns and penetration at various distances. Nothing scientific, as usual, but maybe enough to give 410 gauge revolver owners and potential buyers a rough ideas of what to expect.
At various distances I shoot birdshot, 6 shot, 4shot, 00 Buck, 000Buck, and the exotic Winchester PDX defense shells.
I don't really have a big dog in the fight over whether these are great defensive guns or not, or whether the 410 is useless in this regard. I do know I would not want one shot at me after having experimented with it. It might not kill me, but it certainly would make me change my mind about further action and probably consider where I'd be finding a "see-and-eye" dog for the rest of my life. :-)

We are NOT in the business of selling firearms or performing modifications on them. Do not attempt to copy at home anything you see in our videos. Firearms can be extremely dangerous if not used safely.
The Judge is generally a decent revolver. Since this video I have acquired a S&W Governor, which you've probably seen. If you can afford the Governor, I'd spend the extra money and try to obtain IT. Both will work, though. Remember the Hickok45 STore: shop.missingink.com/hickok45store

Yes, my yt grand papi 🤣
Some kids trespassed his property, really close to his range field,,, he managed it as the gentleman he actually is!😆😆
tbh the more people say this on his videos, the more I vibe with it. One of my grandpas lived in appalachian woods that looked just like this. He died a few years ago. Never got to shoot with him (not really a "thing" my family does as a group activity). But these videos fulfill that grandpa energy for me. Especially with the setting. Which means a lot
My grandpa is a Fudd sadly.
Thank God! A channel about guns that is FUN, intelligent, and informative without being too worried about being tacti-cool! Fantastic presentation!
That was the best review on the Judge pistol/shotgun I've seen so far on TH-cam good job

10:10 Hickok trying to play off that he is a Jedi and can use the force.
He is. And he can. You figgered it out - and didn't even KNOW it... These are not the brains you're looking for.
LOLLL
He's one of the old jedi that use blasters (or slug throwers in this case, the equivalent of the modern gun) instead of lightsabers.
Hi

Shotgun shells in a revolver. Does it get any more American than that?
Yes it does, an AR style rifle that shoots 12ga shotgun shells.
The gun market in Usa is so big, there's a thing for everyone, and also motivates innovation from manufacturers.
@Guillermo Silva Smith & Wesson made a nearly identical gun called "the governor" -- so you can keep your Latin American version, we'll keep smithy

How is this guy so freaking funny and chill? Need more people like him around
I don't care how old this video is. It is still awesome. You saved me money making this video, and helped me pick out the ammo for my Judge.

You never cease to amaze me with your accuracy Hickok45. Hittin the gong and cans at that distance with a Judge is SKILLS to say the least.
I agree the gong hard hit with a short barrel pistol period. If you didn't thumps up this ACP Gunner. You need more time at the range.
ive heard alot of pro's and con's on this gun, but i was impressed with how accurate the 45 Colt's flew, and the pennetration of the triple Ot. shells. seems like shell selection means the difference between a good and bad review. good video, id give the Judge a thumbs up for versatility & home defense. never know when a pesky 55 gallon drum is going to decide to roll through your bedroom window..

I was on the fence of getting the Judge and your demonstration of the versatility of the rounds made me decide to go pick one up. Thanks for the great video and I enjoyed your humor.
God bless
I had a great friend, retired military, who was not able to move as quickly as he used to so he bought one and showed it to me. He said that the distance from his bed to the door was what he was comfortable with if anyone came in without his permission.
Q. Why would you want a 410 pistol
A. Because sawn of shotguns are illegal silly
Late post, but there's this one called a Mossberg it's legal.

Plus they're thought of as effective for Pests. Birdshot 3 inch shell packs some serious pest extermination potention.
13:23 "So we'll leave that for you to judge" what unintentional word play!!
I've got a 3"Taurus Raging Judge Magunum (shoots .454 and 3in. .410) and I must say, using the 3". Winchester PDX1 this gun is incredibly lethal. From 5 yards the 4 discs grouped within a 4" diameter. That's 4 .45 sized pieces of lead going right into you. Then, over half of the plated BB's landed on the approximately an 16". diameter target I was firing at. That means at 5 yards (larger than my entire apartment lol) you have a 2in. margin for error with the more lethal round, and an 8". margin for error if not MORE for landing a hit in general. That's a HUGE tolerance. I have no doubt that the 4 discs would be lethal and I know that I would NOT want to be shot by the BB's either. I Live in an efficiency apartment and I would certainly rely on this gun for my own defense. I would even rely on it when I eventually get a house, as there will be very few instances when I would be farther than 7 yards. This also doesn't take into account I can load my own .45s for the range or .454 in case I was ever attacked by a bear or a tank.
Overall, I would highly recommend this weapon.
My thoughts exactly. I wouldn't shoot anything less than 00 buck through this gun. I was very impressed with the 000 buck and the PDX1 grouping. I might have to take a closer look at this little gun.
Thats one of the ones I want! Thats a badass gun, versatile for every situation.:) However I also want the Judge Magnum that can shoot .45LC, and 3" .410, but also has a seven round chambedr
Just a thought: I watch a lot of your videos, and am always impressed by your marksmanship and that great range you have. The focal length/zoom setting of the lens that John used for the close-in shooting makes things appear a LOT closer; at 3 yards, it looked like you were 3 feet from the target. It would be informative, I think, if there were distance markers for reference - the gong, the pig, ram, cowboy, tree, etc. so that we'd have a sense - particularly for something like this - of how to translate what we see on the screen to what we'd see in front of us, get a better feel for the drop that we can see when John zooms in on the hill and gong, etc. Just a thought, from a long-time fan. Great video.
Hey I love your channel, im in the UK and we donot have the chance to own and shoot like yourself but still love to watch your videos. Came across this video while looking through them, and think a hand shotgun is very cool, great idea, did not know this even was made :)
After watching you Hit the Gong ..with 45 lc... You Had me SOLD !! Thanks for the Scientific Testing !!-
Great firearm demonstration,my first Judge, and I had alot of questions, but you made it clear...thank you.
Home defense is close range. 00 buck in that thing will do the trick but if an intruder grabs one of your kids you'll wish you had a single slug in the chamber to place the shot.
the spread is very overstated though. if you can shoot the head off a turkey with bird shot why can't you place a precise shot on a grown man?
Spread at ten feet is almost nonexistent but would you want to take that chance when the scumbag is using your child as a shield?
"Let's shoot that again" -hickok45
I don't own a gun, and have very little experience with them, but I feel that if anyone wants to keep a gun at home for defense they should take the time to learn how to shoot rather than buying something like this and just hoping they can put enough lead out there to get the job done. Once you fall back to saying, "Well, it's better than throwing a rock," I think you've pretty much finalized the review of this gun.
Ill stick to my handed down 60-70's Remington 870 Wingmaster. Reliable and when not shooting clay, its loaded with 3 bird shot and 2 buck shot. In case if the baddy doesn't get the point.
Jonah Patton LOL....I know what you mean. A buddy of mine fell for the gimmick of bump fire stocks and put one on his AK - after I specifically told him NOT to. LOL. He got it, installed it and called me over for some range time [he has a 90 acre farm]. Well, I'm a well practiced shooter [and have 2 AKs myself] and I STILL couldn't get it to work 100%. He couldn't get it to work at all. Man was he pissed...lol.
Jonah Patton I agree. Full auto is simply for keeping heads down...not littering a body with holes. You need accuracy for that and F.A. will not give you that. Controlled breathing and trigger discipline are what get the job done.
druid189189 and for keeping heads down a quick trigger finger can accomplish that too, i just find it so funny that libs are trying to ban full auto rifles and have no idea that out of every like 800 "assault weapons" only one can shoot full auto, or as they like to call it "900 rounds per minute" to give it that scary sound to idiots and even still a psycho with a full auto is less dangerous than a psycho with a semi auto. It just doesnt make sense that the people who know the LEAST about guns are the ones that want to act like they're the most knowledgeable on them
druid189189 a 3 round burst m16 will do fine. a MP5 FA will shred anything that you aim it at, they were designed for more then keeping heads down.
Man I love me some Classic Hickok45! "I'd like to be able to say that doesn't happen often around here...but I can't say that" Lmao! We need some more zombie stuff Hickok! We need a throwback to the good ol zombie days! Also, I really like this technique of patterning and real world simple testing, I did then and still do now! As always, thanks for all you and John do!
I have decided after some serious thought, that Mr Hickok is such an exemplary role model to all of us fans in the Gun community, role models being so important in our lives I have come to the conclusion he should be the new Dr Who!.
Agreed
Lots of combinations are being packed into .410 casings including 0000 ,000, & 00 Buck all the way down to #6, 1" Flechette darts, 168 grain hollow-point slug, Bolo ammo, Dragon's Breath, and a really wide (and wild) variety of some accurate Sabot slugs.
But my favorite is the Hornaday Triple Defense round. It is topped off with a 110 grain HP, followed up by two 65 grain balls, with a muzzle velocity of 745fps, or what a 45LC produces. Coinidence? The Judge also fires 45LC's with a similar weight of 245 grains and 745 fps velocity.
You can also start off with a couple of rubber pellets followed up with some lethal buck if he doesn't get the message.
Not my choice in a HD.

+Carlos Rodriguez One of the reasons I bought it, other than its being a really quality,functional car, is that the things have nice leg room and incredible head room.

Crazy, the last 45 colt on the gong you could see the bullet in flight.
Shot a 6" model yesterday and was really impressed by the groupings. Even at 15 yards, all four pellets were on a paper plate. Amazingly, one or two usually hit the 10 ring. Really neat gun, might have to pick one up.
"Got my high capacity semi-automatic stapler out again " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Can confirm, would not want to be shot by that.
especially across the average room, even with bird shot.
I don't want to be shot with an airgun
@33:56 you can see the .45 actually curving down and hit the target. That's cool!
I noticed that at normal speed. Then I started at 33:54 at 1/4 speed at it's much easier to see.
I saw it to WOW lol!
Came here to post this. On a side note, I'm really surprised he actually hit the gong with it fairly consistently. I have one, and .45 LC isn't near as accurate for me, but I have the shorter barreled "Public Defender" (and I'm a worse shot...)
These videos help to choose the best weapon for the need of each one.
My choice of ammo for this piece would be the .000 buck. Devastating.
Now they have a 3in model and you can get winchester 3in 000buck with 5 pellets in it.
I bet people who don't know what a judge is saw the target at the beginning and were like "What the hell!"
Would be interesting to see flechette ammo fired from this gun.
Ditto, was thinking about purchasing this gun specifically for flechette rounds.

I'm implying that 900fps isn't that slow for a Pistol especially one sending 225 grains down range

Another great video, hicock45. Very helpful and informative. I have a Taurus Judge and i've fired a wide variety of different ammunition through. Never tried the Federal 000 buck, though. Gonna have to pick some up. Seems to hold a nice consistent pattern.
I purchased TWO different Judge pistols three years ago. One was 2 1/2 and one in 3 inch chamber. Both functioned properly with .45 LC ammo, but shot a foot high at 10 yards. However, neither one would allow cylinder to rotate with .410. I tried several different brands I called Taurus and thought I was dealing with a Zombie. Naturally they wanted me to return pistol for inspection and repairs. I do not feel comfortable about sending a pistol back, when it should not have left the manufacture until proof tested anyway.Bought a Bond Arms 45/410 with no issues. It has sent several Rattle Snakes to the happy prairie already.
The spread on that damned thing is insane... Basically a gun you can only use if you live alone and know for sure no one except a robber is anywhere in the vicinity of the point you´re shooting.
The 000 makes it safer in that respect, though. But I agree. And at it's current price of almost $500, there are MUCH better self defense options.

Monsterballs dont have kids and walls can be replaced so this works for me!

my neighbors front door is 5 ft from mine. one major concern for me (and a problem for my 9mm and 12ga) is overpenetration. I'd rather pepper her door that pull through it. I've been wondering about the judge, was mostly told it was novelty. seems to me to be perfect for apartment defence. just my thoughts though.
cant expect alot of spread control out of a 3 in barrel

2:24 those rounds look like Energizer Batteries lol
coming back to these videos i grew up watching before i buy one.
Hornady Critical Defense 410 is the Best ammo for these Revolvers. a 41 cal tipped bullet and 2 ball combo. devastating.
It seems like the Judge would serve very weel as a home defense or self defense gun. The 000 and 45 Colt would do the trick at 10 yds. If you're shooting at something 100 feet away you may need to retake the ccw course.
Great video. I own one in stainless and it shoots lower, but I found your spread demo very educational. I don't shoot lower than 4, mostly the slug/ball/pellet type of hybrid which is very accurate with a halo around the main grouping. Thank you for doing what you do. Always fun and educational! @hickok45 is one of my favorites, and your non biased opinions are well received by everyone I know.
I know you tried the Winchester PDX1 which has the 3 brass wads and 12 BB's, I was hoping that you might have also shot the Hornandy Critical Defense which fires a single slug and 2 - 35 caliber lead balls just to compare the different loads. This is a 2011 video so the Hornandy may not have been available just then. Do you have a video comparing the 2?
One of my favorite videos. I was surprised at the spread from a 3 inch barrel compared to my experience with shooting full length shotguns. I'd like a comparison video of different barrel lengths. keep up the great work guys.
intelligent and focused man which leads to the important details and comparisons on 410 revolver defense in a No Nonsense ,helpful and straight-forward ,compact video, well done. I've heard a lot of people say a 410 is kind of a Wimpy round, I don't think any of those people have been hit by 410 triple buck at 7 yards though ,great vid.

I doubt its a safe.. Its probably a gun room/rooms.
I have The Judge in 6.5 inch barrel, Everyone enjoys shooting it. My buddy and I wondered about the power of #6 shot. So we sat plastic 5 gallon bucket of water at 30 feet. None of the shot even stuck in the bucket and was laying on the ground at the base of the bucket. Now with that said the bucket was full of deep dimples. A bad guy I would imagine would be rethinking plans from that. Next we moved the bucket to 16 feet about the average room size in our homes. #6 shot tore the bucket up at that range. I keep my judge on my nightstand but I keep three rounds of PDX Defender backed up by two rounds of 45 Long Colt. I see a lot of folks don't like it and that's their choice. I happen to love mine.
I was at the range yesterday and a guy was literally 10 feet to my left! Four (4) of his pellets hit my target?? If you use this gun for anything but home defense, get ready to be sued from people who are going to be ht from pellets that will scatter way out from your intended target.

They have a rubberized rear floor don't they? They arent much to look at, but I wish they still made them, good for people with kids, or a hobby.
You are responsible for every projectile that leaves your gun. Something to think about when you see a spread that wide. Collateral damage is real and happens with every caliber.. I can’t imagine how it would be with a shotgun load like that. Stay safe everyone.
He's shooting 410 shoot rounds.....There is 410 ammo that is designed special for the Judge and stay within a 4
u should have tried slugs to
At that point, why not just go for .45 Colt? Mostly comparable prices, and more power.
Almost any other time, I'd agree with you, it's just that the Judge & other similar guns already have more potent single-projectile options.
Like he said the Colt 45 has to go through about one inch of cylinder before it even touches the barrel. The .410 slug shells will compliment the Judge revolver better than the Colt 45's.
pinky1933 Even with that, the .45 Colt will likely still have either similar velocity. (Aside from Ruger-safe loads, but those are insanely hot.) Although with costs being similar, I'd just go for the one you can reload with the least new equipment. Or the one that is shared between more of your guns.
taurus guns are junk and the judge is a joke i shot one it threw a pattern 6ft wide at 10 feet with number 8 shot not a good snake gun unless your 2 ft away in witch case a 38 shot load will work or a regular bullet the judge is the gun for guys that have no firearms know how

Nope. There's a handgun ban in the UK.

less talking more shooting
The Judge is a cool novelty gun but is borderline useless for self/home defense. There are just way too many better options that can fill that role, especially when it comes to the cost.
just because there are better options, it doesn't make the judge useless.
+Rob Snider it does make it somewhat pointless though.
I disagree, a shotgun is too bulky for close quarters, and a high velocity round can penetrate walls with enough speed and kill the people you are trying to protect.
IMHO, a S&W Governor with 6 rounds of the defense disc round is hard to beat, it spreads and has enough power to drop a target, but it isn't going to rip through walls and cause lethal crossfire.

About 8 feet. Knocked him down with one shot.

You might want to wait for everything to blow over before you post.
I’ve been watching Hickok since like 2010 and I believe every 1 deserves to have a Paw Paw like him in ur family!!! His dad jokes are on point, Bonus! Lmao love this dude
5 shots with .410 shells, thats a lot of lead in someone's body even though it doesn't exit. if bad guy lives doctors going to have fun digging all those pellets out lol
I thought this was a baseball video. Those who know will understand what I mean.
An all-American kind of guy like Hickok45 and he's driving what looks to be a Honda Element? Shame, shame!
Jim Garrison well its not like taurus's are made in america either..also buy the superior product, or the one that suits your needs best. not just whats made in america.
gotham3k - narrow minded. also europe isnt all that great either. haha.
gotham3k - thats based on the assumption that sweat shops are a bad thing.
gotham3k - haha shows how far you can think.
if not for the "sweat shops" then how would those people get ANY empolyment? if there were better jobs around do you think the would work there? do you think they're slaves? sure the conditions suck. but compared to having nothing, and no job. a job at a "sweat shop" is better than nothing.
plenty of people who have been interviewed who worked in them have been glad to have their jobs. if your only argument is that by being made in another country that they are inherently inferior. then thats an argument not backed up by fact.
gotham3k - lol you think that there are childeren making these firearms?
also those "childeren" appreciate the work also.
your world views are obviously sorely twisted by popular media.
This was the first hickok45 video I watched many years ago.
Reading the other comments and even said it, the 410 shell fits the .45 cylinder but the shot column is less than .41 diameter. Longer ar shorter barrel doesn't really have much effect on pattern. Buckshot loads come out in a fairly straight line, still making very little contact with the barrel.
Thank you for your time sir, a pleasure as always.
This was a highly instructive video, addressing spread, penetration and accuracy with pretty much the whole range of applicable ammunition. Thanks and no apologies needed. My takeaway is that birdshot will deter further action and leave a perpetrator able to face justice. Home repairs will be that much less expensive after. Few of us will ever face that much of a challenge. If we want more 'peace of mind' and less 'good will toward men' wearing body armor, we should plan for the heavy hitting ammunition...and plan on redoing both sides of a wall.
