".....it's difficult to HIT the ejector rod..." Well played Paul!!!
I knew it was coming at some point.
Man, I almost missed it.
Low key roast there.
@@claudiodiaz9752 not low key. He did it to call the guy out. He's not above petty swipes at idiots.
Claudio Diaz it’s the echo of roasts past
I'm an amputee and this is my home defense shotgun. Its light about 5lbs, has a pitcantinny rail on top for a flashlight. It gives me 5 fast shots. With an o/a length of 38in and most of the weight shifted to the rear its fast pointing. I never thought of it as a hunting tool just an effective home defense shotgun for me. Good vid Paul.
Ever considered using a bullpup of some sort? Or a pcc with a short barrel and a heavier stock/brace?
Bullpup is a great option. The weight distribution lets you shoot one-handed just as easily as with 2.
@@orpheus280 You're correct sir! I love bullpups even have a couple 22 BPs. But I live in commiefornia, no pistol grip centerfire semiautos allowed without heavy mods that in the end defeat the utility of the BP. AZ one of these days.
Sir. Please consider a better weapons system. A 20ga Stoeger coach gun for example.
More pellets, not much more recoil and a saddle holster is reasonably easy to attach to most wheelchair designs, although practice is definitely required.
Plus, legal in CA.
@@davidjftooley I could be wrong and please correct me if I am but I think what Terry means is that this is an excellent weapon to choose if you only have one arm. Most conventional stocked firearms can probably be used almost normally from a seated position if you happen to be missing a leg but if an arm is missing then that complicates things quite a bit. With this rifle you don't have to mess with charging handles, pumps, levers, magazines, or anything else like that. Just point and pull the trigger.
At first when I started watching I thought he seemed kind of odd but now I just see a man very interested in firearms and their intricacies. To any new viewers: stick around.
THE BEST in the business 👍👍👍👍
Paul is a legend
I’d be willing to bet that IRL Paul is the smart but unassuming type who hardly talks unless spoken to. It might be different now that he’s the go-to guntuber when it comes to practical gun questions.
Hickok45 and Paul harrell are the best on youtube
Interesting fact. Here in Brazil the Circuit Judge AND the Judge are sold in smoothbore versions only. That would make a nice comparison.
Sadly, there's idiot laws that prevents an American from having a smoothbore pistol.
@@ScottKenny1978 If it had a smooth bore, wouldn't it be technically a shotgun that happens to also chamber a certain pistol caliber?
@@Jp-ue8xz if it's a smooth bore, that makes it a shotgun. A shotgun with a barrel length of less than 18 inches is highly regulated here in the US.
The original design that it was introduced with was a smoothbore, but with a rifled insert about six inches long that could be screwed in, kind of like a choke tube is. I can see why that did not work well! But these shot "spin-stoppers" etc. baffle me more than that! If it was a simple shotgun it would make sense....................................elsullo
@@nothim7321 Unless of course it's a black powder ergo not a firearm
But I doubt the black powder circuit judge is something we'll see any time soon
I feel like Circus Judge would be a more fitting name.
Lol
😆
Thats a job my guidance counselor didn’t tell me was available!
The taurus bull fudge :)

Paul: Just when I thought I was done with the Taurus Judge. They gave me the Circuit Judge
the 9th circuit judge going off the results
Just wait till we get the Supreme Court Judge

Hopefully it's not modeled after the one that keeps falling on the floor, or the one that you never see and most people think is already dead.
Paul is the only TH-cam producer that when I watch an episode about six months to a year after I find myself watching his episodes again...and then a third and then fourth time and I’ve probably done more than that. His content is infectious and extremely entertaining for me
This the weapon I bought for my wife to use in home defense. It’s is very light, especially the non wood version, minimal recoil and it is stupidly simple to operate and has minimal failure scenarios. In a stress situation I didn’t feel comfortable with my wife and a pump shotgun or even a semi auto. I put a light on it with a bright hot spot, she basically points the light hot spot at a target and pulls the trigger. It’s loaded with federal buck shot and works well for a smaller female.
"That's why it's called buck shot" thank you Paul that was priceless
Last time i was this early, the store still had soda and pork ribs.
And water jugs.
I wish i got this joke because i know it's good.
Travis k paul harrel's targets
I hosted a "Meat target" BBQ for the 4th!!
Taurus has really improved the quality of the firearms in the last decade. They are making some really good quality guns at a hell of a lot more affordable prices. I think they might get better and better over time. The current president of Brazil stating that he wants every Brazilian household to have a firearm👍🏼. Now that’s a great leader who wants the best for his countrymen.
Smart man
I bought one as a beginner firearm due to the fact that it is so easy to operate. About a year after that purchase I had a break-in situation that did NOT result in any confrontation. Even still...I was THANKFUL for that firearms's ease of operation that night after being awakened out of a sound sleep with an overwhelming jolt of adrenaline. Being at the range is one thing...being in a real world situation is something else.
No joke! Never a fun situation to be in. Glad you made it thru. I froze for what seemed like a hour when I was awoken, then my reflexes came to me!
Being awakened at 130 am with a silouette standing 6 ft beyond your feet is..... Exciting.
I had my 1911 in the bed, as always.
Beats the hell out of a pointy stick!! Seriously, though, I do think it would make a decent in-home defense gun for the reasons you bought it.
This is actually making me look into this. Ease of operation and five shots when you are startled and close quarters
Lightning Strike thanks for the advice.
Paul, I’m gonna tell you something every Brazilian knows: don’t ever trust a Brazilian judge. Greetings from Brazil!
Sounds like Brazil needs a little freedom =)
@@looweegee252 *Cough* Revolution *cough*
Jake Ross it sure does, my friend. We’re on the way to it, but it has been a bumpy road so far.
Yes. Well said.
@@GrazianoBF maybe America should help out =))
We can bring alotta old Sega stuff =)))
Must be a 9th Circuit Judge based on the performance....
Goddamn it, I have to clean the milk I spit all over my screen now. 🤣🤣🤣
BUUUUUURNNN!
LOL!
You're a comedic genius sir.
Thom just won the internet!!
Wow, a very thoughtful presentation, vastly better than anything else on TH-cam.
I love when people find Paul's channel. It really sets the standard for everyone else on TH-cam. He's so good.
Hi Bob. Hope everything is going well for you.
Agree!
Paul: This could be a 20 minute presentation all on its own.
Me: Woo hoo!
Paul: But I’m going to condense it down to just a minute or two.
Me: Oh...
Lmao
BatGoat, damn right!
@Jim Bob's Arcade what the hell
@Jim Bob's Arcade That doesn't explain anything you nutjob
When Paul Harrell goes to court he sentences the judge.
Oof
H’OH!!
Lol he did go to court for that self defense shooting of his and literally told the judge, “I will be exonerated.” And then he was exonerated 😂
And cross examines the opposing attorney.
Lol
Literally just yesterday I saw one of these online and thought "Wouldn't it be great if Paul Harrell did a review of one of these?" Absolutely perfect timing
One of these has been on my short list for a few years now (I love unique things) but the few reviews on YT are all over the place. So, I'm guessing it's a hit or miss type firearm.
@@JasonON Pun intended, of course!
For example: th-cam.com/video/v7Wo2YhtpnI/w-d-xo.html
Putting all other things aside, a double action carbine for home defence is actually a great idea! Easy to learn and master, safe and dependible even after years of storing.
I think Paul nailed this review. The one I own, will shoot the .45 colts out to 50 yards in 5 inch groups with no issues. Something that he could have done with his second .45 colt ammo choice. I have never bother shooting slugs since the .45 colt would be heavier hitting than any .410 slugs. I have found that most buckshot to group well out to about 20 yards and I was surprised that most brands really seem to spread out at 25 yards. I definitely agree that most .410 smooth bore shotguns will do a better job of holding a pattern out to 25 yards than this rifle. So what would make this a firearm you may want to own? Paul said it, (home defense for inexperienced firearm users or those that are recoil sensitive ). It's light, short, has very little recoil and a simple manual of arms. With 5 rounds of .45 colt or defensive buckshot you have a solid defensive firearm. Even a 18 or 20 inch pump .410 shotguns will be 4 to 6 inches longer overall, and require more dexterity and practice to use efficiently than this little rifle.
I love how Paul can take what should be a boring exercise in math/physics and make it fun to watch AND draw some good out of an otherwise mediocre performance by a firearm. Paul, you are the best !
The Circuit Judge sucks just as much as the other variations of Taurus Judge?
.
This is my surprised face.
@Evan Moyer That's a strange way of spelling 'masochist.'
@@erikcrouch7881 It looks really cool, if you buy only for practicality that's just what you want out of a gun.
Personally I'd REALLY love if a better manufacturer gets on making their own revolving carbine of the same caliber, 'cause I don't have the disposable income to just buy for style and then have a letdown at the range, but some people find the price low enough to get that carbine, "who cares if the groupings aren't great I can pose with it and feel like a modern cowboy".
It's not about being financially masochistic, the looks still give something back to the owner to feel positive about their purchase.
The Judge series really is terrible at everything, and good at nothing...
Let's be fair the SW defender sucks too unless you're 65 year old blind woman
Very true...
However I wonder what this would be like if it was an actual shotgun with a smooth-bore barrel.??? Likewise, what would the Taurus Judge be like with a smooth-bore barrel.?
I would imagine that the accuracy would improve a lot for all types of 410 ammo, and drop a fair amount for 45-Colt, but no-one buys these to shoot 45-Colt anyway...
It’s so inaccurate it could be called the Crooked Judge
INTRODUCING: The Taurus democrat judge!
You hit that one, right on the money!
The Clinton appointee Judge.
The Ginsberg gun.
@@Jtower1967Epstein didn't kill himself and neither did that crooked Clinton judge..
“You have to HIT the release”. Epic Paul Harrell can troll anyone at anytime!!!
@Jim Bob's Arcade ok jim bob
Paul Harrell, the Consumer Reports of firearms/ammunitions... >_< No BS, no misleading cherry picking, just the plain un-varnished truth.. God i love this man.
I trust Paul Harrell to be unbiased a lot more than I trust Consumer Reports.
Gives us the facts as best and fairly as he can and then tells us to judge it for ourselves. Can’t beat that with a stick as they say
People like you are the reason people like me need guns
Armed brony gang! /)
I love Paul, cant say the same for the Judge variants. Stay safe everyone.
These can’t take down a Florida man. Not good for defensive use
@@RenoMay You have a video on it?
Stay strong.
@@RenoMay
You know it brother 😉👍
@ike nation
I didn't say you can't kill with it. Simply that I do not like the firearm.
But if you want to talk ballistics, I'll bite. First, you can take down an elephant with a 22. Most any caliber is capable of killing anything. Now for the judge specifically. The pistol is most definitely underpowered. Especially compared to people's expectations. You can help that a bit by buying the right ammo. If you buy the judge specific loads, you should get a little more punch. Not due to any certain shot size, or special disc like you see in the pdx offerings. Rather the powders used. They use faster burning powders to negate the lack of a barrel. (And maybe theoretically whatever you may loose from the cylinder gap vs a classic sealed up shotgun. Though I doubt that is even measurable)
All that being said, that's not the only reason I dont like the gun. Taurus is one of the reasons. Even if they finally are producing a decent product, and no longer selling guns to Yemeni terrorists, I will never own another Taurus, simply on principle. Along with the poor ballistics (even with the $1 a round ammo), the inefficient nature due to the previously mentioned points, and less than ideal form factor of a fireball shooting revolver with a comically large cylinder.
I'd never judge (no pun intended) or underestimate anyone carrying it. But that's my POV on the weapon.
Some firearm models are made using unusual designs and being unique in nature. This seems to fit this one. It is a carbine version of the pistol model. It is the same as buying a 9mm pistol accompany with 9mm carbine that uses the same magazines. Someone who bought the pistol might like the carbine model too. It might not pass the rules for Duck hunting; but is it a rifle or is it a shotgun. If it is a rifle it is likely not illegal for hunting most places whatever you have it loaded with. That will have to be decided by the first game warden you likely might meet. If you are worried; just use wooden plugs in the cylinders to reduce the capacity to three shots. That alone would be fun to see what they would think about its legal standings.
I am absolutely impressed with how much content this guy has put out there, and the fact that he's STILL doing it, today! As in like, Paul Harrell is still at it, still recording videos, and posted this one, today! I honestly don't know how he does it, because I feel like with his experience and age, my bones would be too damn tired to make all these videos. Nonetheless, it is amazing, and I really enjoy his narration and in-depth style. Thanks, Paul - you're a real rockstar!
He's an amazing man that's for sure
Paul is a cool guy.
I like your channel.
I always wanted a revolving rifle after seeing them in one of my grandpa's old gun books.
There is a reason why they aren't common.
It would be cool if someone less “gimmicky” would make one. I really like the idea too, just quit trying to make everything into a baby shotgun lol.
The russians have the MTs 255,there isn't much sense in a revolving rifle,but a revolving shotgun may have more use.
You want one until you fire one, because cylinder gap is a thing on rifle length-revolvers too. The Cobray Street Sweeper was terrible for many other reasons, but having your forearm hit with the concussion and unburnt powder every shot certainly didn't help.
@Apex Gemini, As per Mr. H. near the end of the video. Escaping gas and ejecta was one of the prime reasons revolver-rifles died out over a century ago. The deflection features on this contemporary weapon add a little weight to it with a lot more complexity to its unloading/loading cycle. The big negatory from me is just how finicky this gun is with ammunition vs. accuracy potential.
Always good to get a new video from Paul. Thank you Paul.
I absolutely love how Paul deals with the idiot know it alls. “It’s called buck shot, like the deer”
Trolls gonna troll... “Ackchuallyyyyy...”
Is Paul actually the REAL judge, here?
You be the judge. 😁
@space cowboy#2
"I am not at liberty to comment on that."😏
I click the play button ONE MINUTE after the email notification and there's already 1598 views! Well done Paul!!
Paul your efforts are appreciated, thank you .
Love the videos. Thank you for your work and your service.
Paul, you never hit the ejector rod. A gay little alcoholic IDPA IPSC Champion Black Belt Grand Wizard Master Class Target Master shooter told us so.
You would nt want to risk a broken hand if fighting for your life
I once had a stuck case on a revolver and did not listen to the Black Belt Grand Wizard Master Class Target Whatever shooter. I hit the ejector rod and lost my hand. I had to type this with only one hand and my nose.
Hey now, don't go calling him gay as a pejorative. All the gay guys I know know damn good and well how to hit the rod.😀
Plus, they could all probably roll him in a brawl too... Not Paul, the wizard.
As Ave says: 'Tappy, tap, tap." Of course, he's a machinist and his tapping usually involves a hammer, so...
lol!
I have the stainless version considerably more accurate than what you're getting, not a tack driver but not bad either, which could address another issue, the lack of consistency in manufacture.
Another person in the comment said his example had ok groups, that backs up your hypothesis
If there's one thing you can count on from Taurus/Rossi, it's that although they are capable of building a quality gun they just can't seem to make two of them in a row.
Taurus firearms appeared to be better made than Rossi. Those marked Rossi seemed to be on the level of Charter Arms in fit and finish. I can recall Rossi making decent slide action .22 rifles years ago. Suppose that Taurus took it over to increase its production capacity.
I bought a Taurus Judge when they first came out. Mine does not shoot the 3-inch Shotshells. The one that Mr Harrell has is a larger later model. Mine has a 3 inch barrel and a really nice black finish on it . and it is fairly accurate at 7 to 15 yd. I once shot it at 50 yards into a 8 inch paper plate and put all five rounds into it with American Eagle 230 grain soft points. I just consider it a short-range blaster. I just keep it as a novelty but I have had quite a few people want to buy it from me because they like the finish on it
@@russellsandidge4210, Sounds like a keeper. Guns such as the Judge fill a multi-purpose roll as few other handguns do. Might not take down a brown bear with a single shot, but it should do the job with two or three.
Great information as always Paul. Thanks.
Thank you very much for doing this. I’ve been thinking about one of these for years. I’m glad I don’t have to think about it anymore.
I got the stainless version for my Dad. He loves it. Can't wait to show him this vid it'll make his day! Thanks for making it.
Lol why will he love it? Bc u got it for him obviously bc its not a good gun
Don't show him this video, just let him be happy!
Oh he won't care that it got a bad review. He'll still love it, im not that great eighther and he still loves me so......
@FMJPatriot I did
10:54 that Bee was like "Thank god I lived, that was Paul Harrell shooting!
I just realized Paul is wearing that jacket during July, the man is truly astonishing
I don’t think it’s hot where he lives
He's a freak of nature that's for sure
Great video. Thanks Paul !
Paul Harrell my day just improved 😁😁🇺🇸🍺 thanks for your channel
"you be the judge" guys why would I wanna be this gun
Pros: Mechanically interesting and relatively simple. Also offers a variety of ammo types for one gun.
Cons: like all judges they cover a wider area of applications but are middling at best in each of them.
When this rifle came out I was excited. I went to the shop and checked it out but the quality was terrible, it was way too lightweight and even for the low price I decided to pass on it. then, a few yrs ago I was in a pawn shop and saw one for sale, checked it out again and decided again not to get it.
Its a shame, I'd like to have a quality rifle in this configuration.
I goes you wouldn't have to work but people would still give money for you? /s
"Dont try this at home."
Got it! I will not be buying a circus judge.
That judge couldn't be trusted to judge a pie contest. Lol.
I remember seeing this in Walmart and I thought, "Oh, that looks neat!" Then I thought, "Walmart. What's wrong with it?" Now I know.
You're missing a fun handy versatile lil gun like mine
I always enjoy watching your content. Thanks again Paul. I like that little mossberg you brought in here.
My father called guns like this. "Makes a good jack handle"
/prybar/hammer
I imagine Paul is selling this rifle dirt cheap & just calling it Dead On Arrival..
Actually laughed out loud
Really like the 410 slug vs meat target. 410 is highly underestimated.
Even the bird shot 410 loads are not to be underestimated, at close range they can and have killed people.
And as Paul has demonstrated, better than nothing or a pointed stick - although with the Judge, I might want a stick.
@@taraswertelecki3786 22 caliber is the most underestimated caliber in the world but it's killed a boat load of people......... stands to reason that other calibers have that issue as well.
At 8-10 feet the shot is still in the cup.... Pseudo slug
@BWM ever shoot a deer with a 410 ?...guess not
Hey Paul, love your channel. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos, and recently purchased a Winchester 97 after learning about it from you. Keep up the great work!
My Judge had the same problem. I replaced the plastic rear sight, after it fell off. Now it shoots great.
I purchased one of these for my mom. I knew she wouldn’t shoot it much and I wanted something simple for her to operate. She has a .38 special revolver, so I thought this would be similar and something she could handle. I mounted a light on the rail and she really likes the gun. I loaded it with the 3” buck shot.
This thing has the accuracy of a shopping cart shot out of a catapult. Glad I never bought one...
Sounds kinda fun actually.
@@billystink4611 Not $400 fun for an inaccurate rifle
@kinsmarts Oh, they LOOK cool. No doubt
@@2ahdcat A store near me is asking $550, lol. Could get the R92 in .45 for the same price (or less online) and they are actually pretty good little lever guns as long as you don't want a receiver-top mounted scope/aperture
@kinsmarts ya know i looked up Colts Revolving Rifles no issues in accuracy were mentioned, Chainfires yes but no accuracy issues. and lets face it even the colt revolvers at the time had issues with chainfires due to no solid cartridge like this Judge pos has......
Thanks for the review. I just bought one of these, lightly used, from my son. In my defense I've now kept it off the open market and helped him towards something better!
Just found this channel about a month ago and have been hooked ever sense. Paul is the Bob Ross of guns 👍👍
When I discovered Paul I had fun going back and watching all the videos he had made before I found him.
It was a lot of fun.
I was sad when I watched them all, now I have to wait for a once a week dose of Paul instead of having him on demand.
A like and a comment to help the channel.
Ditto
Happy at the end he admitted it could be helpful for some. Teenagers, Wives, Elderly etc it could actually be a decent choice, and in some countries in some locals approved by some Policia Captain, if could be allowed as a farm tool to take out pests w birdshot...yet loaded with Buck for HD.
I bought it for the reasons Paul said at the end. As a big double action revolver it can sit loaded forever without issue.
It is also something more powerful than an handgun that my elderly mother can use since she is familiar with revolvers.
There was a time when I wanted one of these just because of its uniqueness, but that wore off really quick once I started watching videos about it. I have not seen a video yet where they had a favorable outlook on this gun. I appreciate your time and effort in order to bring us these videos and I look forward to your next one.
Thank you so much for your thorough evaluation and relating this to it home defense. It's proper use. Outstanding!
I've recently gotten to compare a box of the cheapest ammo my local gun store had available to two boxes of "match grade" ammo, and I have to say the results were astonishing. Five shots per group at 125 yards. With the "premium" ammo, the shots were barely more than one and a half inches apart, while with the cheap ammo, it was all over the place. I even changed ammo types in between to make sure it wasn't me "warming up" or losing focus or such.
I would never have guessed how much difference expensive ammo could make.
"There is no worse firearm than the Taurus Judge."
Rossi: "Hold my beer."
Those "Brazilian Beretta" wannabes are only slightly better than Hi Point. It's still a turd in a turd pile, but it's the top turd.
@@ChunkyPuke4me their lever actions are not too bad at half the price of Marlin or Winchester.
@@ChunkyPuke4me With how much garbage is on the market now I'm starting to respect Hi-point
It goes bang reliably
Ugly as sin unergonomic and low capacity
But it goes bang when you want it to and hits acceptably
@@passonthestar3689 Indeed Hi-points might look like garbage but they are cheap and go bang unlike the judge series.
@@chrisrawr6177 Even if the judge does go bang dont bet on hitting anything
Mechanical accuracy is subpar as all hell
As always, informative, concise & objective. Thank you Mr. Harrell!
Excellent in depth review!!!! Thank you!!!!!!
When he said he was going to try something else while standing next to the target, I almost expected him to swing it at the target like a bat
Great video as always Paul, honestly for whatever reason I've always been interested in this firearm. I don't know why they haven't made a version chambered in .357, clearly the gimmick of using shot shells isn't that practical. A nice 8 or even 10 (you don't really have to worry about thickness of the cylinder with a carbine) shot .357 longarm I think would if nothing else be fun.
But what do I know, keep doing what you do brother, thanks for putting in all the work.
Thanks Paul for the coverage. I've either looked at one or picked one up and handled it. Buying one has crossed my mind a few times over the years. Haven't bought one but I like the look of the Rossi stock and design. The idea of 45/410 combo is a good one, western style, double action, Rifle. I'm glad you covered "different types of ammo..." that was impressive as much as important issues there. Great review/coverage and a good report 👍👍 and ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great video and very informative as always. Thanks
Its my home rifle. I love the circuit judge. It doesn't do anything perfectly but does a lot pretty well, which is perfect for me. I do hate reloading though.
Another gun in the “it’s better than nothing” category.
That's good stuff.
Well i guess you could use it as a club perhaps then you have a better chance of hitting something
Royal Irish come on, that’s not fair. You do have a chance of “hitting something”... just maybe, not what you were aiming at ;)
Exactly. My thought, too.
I know in some places (eg Australia) it sometimes is the best available option
Thanks Paul. Great job. Good info.
Another badass no nonsense review. Appreciate it.
Every time I am tempted to write off .45 ACP as outdated - I get reminded with well done tests like this one done by Paul. Low velocity and big slugs is not necessarily a bad thing when it comes to self defense.
It's a great thing for you bad for perp
45 ACP is the perfect suppressor caliber
Interesting takeaway right there at the end. It reminds me of one of the rare instances where Hollywood "got it right" on something gun-related. In the movie "Blue Ruin", this gun is lent by somebody who knows guns to somebody who doesn't, for that very reason - of all the guns he owns, it's the simplest to use, and the only one the borrower has any chance of being effective with, with no training.
lol, I just posted about that just watched it...good movie, liked 2 other movies that director did as well.
Thank you Paul! Good stuff!
Very informative video, keep up the great work!
Gotta love the TH-cam captions, everytime there was a gunshot it popped up with [applause]. They love you, Paul, they give you applause everytime you fire!
I love cowboy guns, and I especially love the unique look that those old revolver carbines have from the 1800s. I dislike the danger to using some of the old guns or even modern reproductions, and have been hoping to see a new one come out worth buying. It looks like the search needs to continue.
Hi Paul, great video. I inherited my Circuit Judge .45/410 and lucky I check out your video first. Didn't know about the choke system it has. So I held off shooting it until I ordered the choke key and a rifled choke. It had the smooth bore choke installed. Thanks again for all the great videos you do.
Paul I didn’t like your delivery when I saw a video of yours for the first time but I’ve learned to appreciate it. You’re truly unique. Thanks for these videos.
I don't even own a gun yet and I feel confident in going into my test. Thank You, Paul.
I'm glad you're in Oregon. It's crazy here. At least I know one other person is "sane" like me 😁
Pity me: I live in Portland! As I type we have just completed FIFTY straight nights of downtown RIOTS! It has turned liberal ol' me into a social Ghenghis Kahn! I do not go out at night, and I have not been downtown for a decade or more. First our legislators allowed the legalization of dope. Then, instead of spending the money to build prison capacity they DECRIMINALIZED heroin and meth---if there is no place to put criminals or money to prosecute them, why arrest them? WHAT could go wrong? And THEN that tragic boating accident of mine..............................elsullo
@@elsullo2 Congats! I'm sure I don't need to tell you but for anyone reading this in the future, those violent riots have just passed up EIGHTY days and the terrorist organization known as ANTIFA is still trying to burn and loot everything!
This review answers my questions. Thanks paul
Extremely well done, thank you. I have one in polished stainless, I agree with your findings 100%.
They should've just cloned the MTS255 but they had to get rid of all those unsold Judge frames somehow.
Unsold? I wonder why...
I wish that Rossi had brought the rifle out here in the United States in all three calibers that it comes in in the UK and Australia
Over there it's available in a 22 LR / 22 Mag with removable cylinders it's also available in a 44 Magnum I called Taurus / Rossi and they told me that we can get the rifles here but they have to be special ordered
I wonder how many other firearms we don't get here that come out in Australia and the United Kingdom
Gunbroker currently has a 44mag listed. I've seen the 44 at a shop near me, oh, 5 yrs ago or so, and was told they've had the 22/22mag in, and even saw a 28ga at one point. Nothing fantastic about their performance, but sometimes you just want to shoot something fun and mechanical.
I've never seen a .44 Mag model in the UK. Plenty of the .22 convertible models about but they aren't great. I'd buy a .44 Mag version, better get in touch with the importer!
would not mind seeing how it performs in .22Mag and .22. I have had both in handguns/rifles. Be interesting to see if it is a firearm design issue versus a Caliber issue with them.
@@mindofmadness5593 They are known for having a laughably long forcing cone that you can literally fit a complete cartridge down inside. This leads to a huge velocity loss, .22 Mags basically come out at LR speeds.
@@ApurtureSci I heard the same thing, damn shame too, because otherwise I would have been interested back when the .22s were still available without special ordering.
A very informative and well done video. 👍👍
Dear Paul . I've been watching your video for some time now . I am almost never posting a comment on youtube but i had to do it for you.
I really appreciate you and your video . You represent a part of America i didnt knew before and i like it . Keep up the good work .
Greetings from France
So, this is worse than both a shotgun and a rifle, difficult to reload, inaccurate and only holds five rounds? Where do I buy one?
Are you trying to encroach on Gun Jesus's territory? Because methinks this is bound to wind up on Forgotten Weapons in a few years.
Counteroffer: I will take all your money for free and you won't even have to carry this gun
One? Shouldn't you get two?
@@andrewamann2821 just a meme
@@flaco5581 I might have enough pellets on target if I had two of them... 🤔
I think i stick with my Uberti revolving carbine in 45 Colt.
You're a great firearms teacher. Honestly you changed my opinion on multiple things such as .22 short, and the effectiveness of .22 in general. So much so I bought a .22 henry lever action. I wish for one day I meet you on the range, and see that Henry in the hands of a skilled marksman.
Sure am going to miss Paul's concise, articulate, no nonsense reviews. He's the Paul Harvey of gun info. Thanks, Paul Harrell.
Poor Paul. Always reviewing the crummy guns so we dont make mistakes and buy them. Thank you for your sacrifice.
I see that Mossberg makes a 590 in 410 now. The only difference I bet is that It holds more ammo.
I've considered getting a shockwave 410, 5+1 and a gun I could give to just about anyone if need arises.
Yes they have the Shockwave but I have also seen on their website a full size 590 in 410. 18" barrel with a longer mag tube as well.
@Cyotis
My wife has this very shotgun. I’m happy to see that it performed well in the test. Mossberg is worth every penny.

My wife is very recoil sensitive and I was thinking of getting her one of those also. How is the recoil of that 590 in 410 ?
@Cyotis
Recoil is very light almost non existent. My wife is small in stature and the Mossberg is perfect for her. I installed a youth stock for her as well, made all the difference for her.
My first gun was a Mossberg 510 in .410. It's killed countless squirrels, rabbits, and deer. I've always been curious about how it compares to rifle or pistol penetration.
Thanks for doing a review on the Rossi, Paul. I like your videos. I tell my friends my Rossi Circuit Judge is my favorite impractical gun.
Informative and entertaining as always!
Seen one of these at the gun store. Looked kinda cool. Was wondering the performance.
Looks aren't everything. Thanks Paul.
I would like to point out that rifled slugs from shotguns in general lose accuracy when fired through a rifled barrel. They’re designed for smooth bore barrels, I think a better test in regards to the slugs would be to test out 410 slugs that are meant to be fired through a rifled barrel.
Great video Paul.
Facinating. Thanks guys!🇺🇸
