Does it live up to the Legend?
This review of the Taurus Judge revolver by Spartan Defense debunks myths surrounding its effectiveness for self-defense. The presenter tests various loads, including birdshot, buckshot, rifled slugs, and .45 Long Colt, evaluating their performance at self-defense distances. Key findings highlight significant shot dispersion with birdshot, inconsistent accuracy and high POI with .45 Long Colt, and slower reload times compared to modern semi-automatic pistols. While acknowledging its versatility in ammunition and potential as a fun range toy, the review concludes it's not ideal for everyday carry due to capacity, accuracy issues, and recoil.
