Reloaders of the 45 Colt have been able, for many years, to duplicate a .410 shotshell using various lengths of brass in a 45 colt cylinder. I generally prefer to load 45 shotshells with the pellets inside the brass and an inverted gas check to retain the shot although we have shotshell cups available. The fellow in the video is correct saying the shot disperses rapidly. In fact using my method, snake sized holes appear in the pellet pattern at ranges beyond 12 – 15 feet. What he didn’t get into is the Judge’s 45 colt accuracy. There is bound to be a lot of accuracy destroying bullet jump between leaving the case and entering the barrel.

On Taurus revolvers generally:
I own 2, a 9 shot 22 and a 44 special.
While both are servicable (the 44 needed a new trigger right out of the box due to poor fitting at the factory) I suggest this.
If you ever have the chance, view one with the sideplate off vs an equivalent from S&W.
You may come to understand why so many have a problem with taurus. Outwardly, they are well finished and good looking pieces. But inside they are rough as a cob, and difficult/ impossible to tune. The look like smiths, but the internal lockwork is different, inferior, and IMO poorly fitted.
If you have one that works, odds are it will continue to do so, and they do represent a decent value, and The taurus warranty is rock solid.
But you ARE getting what you paid for, no more.
On the judge in particular, is sorta cool, but come right down to it, it has nothing practical to offer defensively. Shot spread?
Why, because you can’t shoot a handgun?
I seriously doubt the the utility of clipping a bad guy with the edge of a spread of shot. The you have penetration problems etc…
Sheesh, this is one for the Gun mags to sell.
