(mini gloat) Here come da JUDGE!
Whoo! Momma got a reprieve on the 10-week waiting list for my Taurus
Judge. It came in extra-early. It's pretty sweet. All the clerks at the shop allowed how "as soon as the rush was over" they wanted one for themselves. No doubt, it is a fistful, and I'm not thrilled with how my arthritic middle knuckle engages the back of the trigger guard. (Like, I'd worry about a bruised knuckle in a fire-fight...) But it shoots good. I was cleaning up 7s at 20 yards, and my daughter was filling a 12" hole at 10, without ever having shot a wheel gun before. The slug pattern is a little loose, due to the very light rifling, but even with #8 shot, the shot pattern at 10 yards is less than a yard wide. It even fits my carry pocket. It's only about a half-inch longer than my Ruger 357mag. You told me to check back when I got it. I like it. (now.. who's got decent cowboy loads in LC I can trust AND afford?) LLoyd |
