Taurus 28ga. Raging Judge.

Wow...What'll they come up with next?

Here's S&W's "Governor" "Judge" clone:

Here you go....

It's a 28ga revolver. So good luck with ammo.

Odd, I wonder how they get around the issues with the .50"< bore - anything that large is a DD unless exempted specifically. I had heard the Raging Judge would be a .454/410, as shown on their website under "raging judge".

Just saying, I don't think CTD has their facts correct.

This one looks new. I know the Raging Judge Magnum is in .410/.45LC/.454Casull. Maybe this thing really is 28ga? Who knows what the Taurus designers are thinking anymore?

 

[pikid89]

the .410 judge was the answer to the question no one asked...now this???
the only thing harder to find than .410 shells is 28 gauge shells
does 28 gauge buckshot even exist?
a little googling shows that the biggest stuff around is #5 shot for pheasants

 

[PTK]

More to the point, it's over .50" bore, 28 ga is ~.550". No commercial handgun ammo will fit that, so it's either rifled for no reason (which means it's a DD unless it has the ONLY exception for a revolving shotgun over .50"), or smoothbore, with means it's an AOW. Either way, I'm not thinking it'll be getting into the country very easily if at all.

 

[Nick5182]

Like I said who knows what the engineers and designers at Taurus are thinking anymore? lol.

 

[HelterSkelter]

lol. what i wouldn't mind seeing it a big old 20 or 12 gauge revolver, only 2 or 3 chambers with a huge cylinder. so ridiculous i would have to own it.

 

[mdThanatos]

But would you shoot it is the question, I don't think I would in a 12 or 20. 28 maybe alright but even then its not for me.

 

[griff383]

I was under the assumption that the Raging Judge was going to be 454 casull. Seriously? 28 gauge?

 

[JohnBT]

67 ounces = 4 pounds, 3 ounces.

A big boy. And almost 14 inches long.

Somebody buy one, I have ammo.

 

[jerkface11]

The .454 one is already out saw one at a gunshop the other day. How can they do one in .28 gauge though?? Special ATF permission?

 

[FIVETWOSEVEN]

Be interesting if they make a 12 gauge version

 

[esquare]

Additional features include a single-action/double-action trigger and highly visible fiber optic front sight.

The highly visible front sight is meant to facilitate the removal of it from your forehead by the ER doc. I'm so glad they thought of that!

 

[Dain Bramage]

It's probably satire. Everyone who's followed the price markups knows CTD has a sense of humor.

 

[PTK]

I thought it might be a joke as well until I saw that the article has been updated with this picture:

Sure as heck looks real to me.

 

[Dain Bramage]

I saw the picture and still thought it was a joke. Perhaps a one-up promo for Taurus?

 

[tinygnat219]

It'd have to be NFA, or a DD at best to be able to be sold.

 

[Buck Snort]

"RAGING JUDGE"?!! Who's in charge of their marketing?!

 

[ATAShooter]

Wow...What'll they come up with next?

The 12 ga. Preposterous Judge. Then will come the 10ga Hemorrhaging Judge...

 

[Zanad]

lets say its NOT an NFA item, would you buy one?

 

[GCBurner]

I'm holding out for the 4 gauge / 1" Gatling Gun version. Though I suppose, with that length of cylinder and the 28 ga. .550" bore diameter, they might be able to load up a .550 Express. http://www.weaponsmith.com/550-exp.html

 

[kudu]

I'm trying to see how it is legal and not a short barreled shotgun. There is no cartridge that can be shot through it like the .45 Colt. No one make 28 gauge buck shot or slugs. Any cartridge over .50 is considered a destructive device, not counting ancient african hunting rounds and shotshell rounds.
