Yea you are right and it's pointless to buy the gun if I'm just going to render it useless from the start...btw I do also own a 12Ga that is always loaded with 00 buck so... What is almost scary is that I might be joining the CC crowd and I was thinking that this would make a fine CC weapon. I like revolvers because they are compact, simple to operate/clean and super reliable...when was the last time you heard of a wheel gun jamming?

The only way to jam a wheel gun ( short of mechanical failure ) is for a squib load ( no powder, just primer to launch the bullet ) to lodge a bullet into the forcing cone.

A big advantage of a wheel gun is in case of a misfire. Just pull the trigger to fire the next round.

Well plans fell through to shoot the Judge, however going to the shop to buy the hubby's tomorrow, as he knows he wants one regardless.

I will say, took my 410 shotgun out this weekend tho and it was superb, as was the new XD9 SubC I got for our anny. I highly recommend that one if anyone is looking for a new pistol.

If anyone is interested, I didnt see it mentioned here, but there is a company making ammo for the Judge, it involves shot as well as 3 discs shaped like watch batteries, for personal protection. First you get hit with the shot, then it tears a few holes in ya.

As ugly as it sounds, (and this one is for you Tig, cuz I feel ya as far as hurting another person), but the sole purpose of carrying a weapon to protect yourself or others is to do as much damage as fast as possible to prevent the attacker from getting to you or yours. If they wanna make the play, they get to pay.

Yera and I wasn't that impressed for the crazy cost/shell... 00/000 buck is the way I'll go, I think. Tight pattern, lots of damage, decent range but enough spread that you don't have to be an expert shot to hit something in an emergency situation. I think the experts here will agree that irl lots of shots are fired without ever hitting anything because of pressure, nervousness, etc. When you are throwing 4 9mm rounds downrange spread across 3' or so...well, that can greatly improve your chances of hitting something.

Does your complex have assigned parking, or is it a free-for-all? A little call to the property manager might have interesting results
