[QUOTE="soberups, post: 426499, member: 14668"] Taurus makes quality handguns at affordable prices. They are on the "approved" list for most police agencies to use as backup weapons. In terms of quality they are right up there with S&W, Ruger and Colt. The video is misleading, however. While the .410 shotshell round makes some impressive-looking holes in the paper, its real-world performance on live targets is quite different. If you want to see real-life examples of penetration testing with various different rifle, pistol and shotgun rounds, go to [URL="http://www.theboxotruth.com/"][U][COLOR=#810081]The [B]Box[/B] [B]O[/B]' [B]Truth[/B] - Ammo Penetration Testing[/COLOR][/U][/URL] website. [URL="http://www.theboxotruth.com"]www.theboxotruth.com[/URL] . He actually tests various .410 loads from The Judge. What real-life testing shows is that the .410 shotgun round is marginal at best when loaded with a solid slug, less than marginal when loaded with a 3-pellet buckshot load, and truly awful when loaded with birdshot as was seen in the video. Birdshot was meant for hunting little birds. It cannot penetrate well enough into a man-sized target to serve well for self defense. Taurus makes excellent revolvers chambered in .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .44 Special and .44 Magnum. Any of these will serve far better for self defense, although the recoil and muzzle blast of the .44 Magnum round is utterly brutal and excessive. The .45 Colt round that the Judge is chambered for is also an excellent choice. The .410 shotshell round is best left for its intended purpose, which is hunting bunnies and birds. [/QUOTE]
