    Working on spending my Christmas bonus. :nana:

    I'm just wondering if this is going to break my wrist or fly right out of my hand? Not much of a handle on these cannons, but man do I want one.

    Anyone have one or any experience shooting them?

    I have a judge.......not the raging judge magnum but the 2.5 inch barrel. One of the most fun guns I have ever shot. Have it loaded with Winchester PDX and a laser grip for home defense as well.

    My brother has the Public Defender which is basically the same gun with a 2-1/2" barrel I have shot it with buck shot, self defense rounds and .45 long colt. It's not a target shoot for fun all day gun that's for sure. My brother and dad said it kicked like a mule when I didn't think so. It wasn't comfortable but, it wasn't painful. Hold on tight and squeeze!

    Yup... my buddy Chuck just had to have one. He comes up to spend a night or two with me about once a month for wine, beer, tequilla, venison and firearms games. He's brought his up a couple times. Personnnally, I think it's a waste of money except for personal protection in the home at night.LOL

    Yep, my BIL has the 3" Judge. Shot it this summer, and the recoil wasn't really bad at all. I wouldn't shoot it all day, but it was nothing that was intolerable. Fun little gun.

    My BIL keeps his regular Judge here in Ely. It's the longer one. Fun gun. We shoot grouse with the .410 rounds :tu: pretty versatile little gun.

    I've shot the 3" version, not unbearable by any means. My cousin has one... he missed a fox squirrel at 30yds - 6 times. So I can't say for sure how accurate they are...LOL

    I think they are cool guns, great for home defense imo.
