The Taurus Judge .45 Colt/.410 Bore Revolver in matte stainless with a 3-inch barrel and compact frame is a five-shot double-action/single-action revolver from Taurus (brand part no. 2-441039T) that chambers both .45 Colt and 2.5-inch .410 bore shotshells. A fiber optic front sight, a fixed rear and a transfer bar safety keep the controls simple. It pairs the corrosion resistance of stainless steel with a short barrel and a 9.5-inch overall length, which suits home defense and everyday carry in a sturdy holster.

Key Specifications

• The chambering is .45 Colt and 2.5-inch .410 bore, so one cylinder takes a revolver cartridge or a shotshell.
• Capacity is 5 rounds in a single cylinder.
• The barrel is 3-inch long, which sets the balance and the sight radius.
• The action is double-action/single-action, with a long pull for a first shot or a lighter cocked pull for deliberate fire.
• The barrel, frame and cylinder are finished in matte stainless, a coating chosen for wear resistance.
• The frame and cylinder are stainless steel on a compact frame.
• The front sight is fiber optic and the rear sight is fixed, which keeps the front dot easy to find in dim light.
• The safety is a transfer bar, so the hammer cannot reach the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled.
• Overall length is 9.5 inches, which decides how it rides in a holster or sits in a hand.
• Unloaded weight is 29 ounces, a figure that governs how it carries and handles recoil.
