a .410 revolver is dumb. It was tried before with the MIL Thunder Five, and it was a market failure. So, Taurus copies it a few years ago with the idiotic Judge. They put some serious (and misleading) marketing behind it and prove PT Barnum right.
S&W sees a lot of dollars going to a dubious concept, so they pull a 'Me Too'. They tweak it to run with .45ACP as well as .410 and .45Colt. But what they end up with is still just a copy of a copy of a market failure.
And the naming of these things... The Judge and The Governor? Seriously?
I agree. It's silly.

DeleteTotal agreement. Funky toy? Fine, I can get on board with weird. Example: the Rossi Ranch Hand. Bad at everything handgun and rifle, but a fun toy. Marketing it as anything that is worthwhile for serious defensive stuff is disingenuous.
ReplyDeleteTrust me, I understand wanting a gun because it's goofy. You want to hit hand thrown targets with a revolver- I can see that. Get one of these.
DeleteWant a revolver for self defense? Get a .45ACP or .45Colt revolver. It will be smaller, lighter, and easier to handle and conceal.
still waiting for 20 gage. I know about NFA, repeal that silliness too.

AMEN! Repeal the NFA so I can buy a suppressor for $50 at the local gunstore.
