Taurus, Public Defender Polymer?
Hi Guys,
New here, so if this has been discussed before I apologize in advance.
Taurus, Public Defender Polymer, Model 4510PLY-SS2. Just wondering what your take is on it? Does anyone own one?
I don't want to make this a pi$$ing contest about Taurus quality. I own 2 Tauruses that are just fine. I also bought one which was a piece of crap.
Thanks in advance for your inputs........

Slightly lighter weight version of the Judge. I've fired a Judge. Accuracy with .45 Colt was acceptable. Fired 410 with birdshot and had a huge pattern at 10'. Fair amount of recoil.
My guess is that the poly version will shoot about the same, have a fair amount of recoil and not conceal as well as your snubby revolver. It will be an OK snake gun and a short range SD revolver. After shooting a Judge, I decided that style is not my cup of tea. However, I may be in a small minority. Judge's sell well, Taurus is adding models quickly and S&W got into the game.

Hi greener,
One of the other revolvers I have is a 3" chambered Judge in stainless. I've shot quite a bit of 45 Colt though it and just a few 3", #4 buckshot. I have no complaints with it. It's a "sweet heart" compared to my snubby.
Glad you brought it up. S&W is now making a Judge (Ooopps, "Governor")? Also chambers 45 APC? What's up with these "moon clips"?

I have read all kinds of negative remarks about the Judge. However, I own a 3" chambered S/S Judge and it sits loaded with #4 buckshot in my underware drawer (I can't think of anyone who would go through my underware drawer ).
When I was seeking advice on what is best for home defense, everybody told me a shotgun (makes sense). The only down-side to a shotgun I saw was they are a bit of a problem to "swing" in a hallway. So I bought the Judge. Problem solved.
Anyway, S&W must have recognized what has been selling and brought out their version. Looks good
