Mike, Thanks for the lesson I'm alittle less confused. I must say I do like the Tracker 44.Most of my revolvers are SA for cowboy shooting. Thank You again

The original Taurus 44 mag was the Model 44. The Raging Series followed and then came the Tracker Series. All have the number 44 when they shoot the 44 mag and spec.
Taurus numbers all the revolvers

MikeMcd, Thank you very much. When I looked on the Taurus site I thought I was looking at the Judge as a Mod. 44. and the other pics on this site show the Judge as a Model 44, the other 5 pics., how come?

JMKPM -- check out picture number 6 above and see the Model 44 from Taurus. Nice conventional looking piece. Generally well thought through revision of the S&W offerings. Still seems to be this "poor boy's" S&W 29...

TopFuel, I have had a few 308's and again the most accurate and easy to shoot 308 I have ever fired happens to be the Savage model 10 - in the economy package. Syn stock and a cheap scope and all

JMKPM - Thanks. Remember that the "Judge" which shoots the 410 and the 45 LC is NOT a model 44: the model 44 is a 44 magnum which shoots both the mag and the 44 special. (Check the Taurus

MikeMcd, Did you said you shot 44 magnums & 44 specials. I called Taurus and asked them if I could shot anything other then a 45 LC or 410. They told me no way. I'm asking because I have about 600

MCD-I typed trigger, but meant hammer> be alright:) I guess my next step should be contacting Taurus. I do like that gun, and plan on carrying it. Of course it has to be right....we'll see.

Topfuel: Good remark. A sidearm like the 44 or the Judge (a great idea) has to be reliable. Especially a revolver since it is the last line of defense when carrying or camping etc. The cylinder

NEW update on NEW Model 44 repair status: I brought the newly repaired 44 to the range for a session. Shot 44 specials and a few 44 mags. The extremely tight cylinder gap was corrected and damaged

Yep, I agree...the Federal .410 is very dirty. Fun to shoot, but it makes a mess.

MCD--I can put up with the higher shipping charge because I like the fact that the box always arrives, 2 and a half days later. Never fails. Midway is 'slower than dirt' and they are always out

Update on the Taurus 44 repair.
The dealer sent the item back, but used ground shipping (cheap), and the revolver got misplaced ( I am told ) somewhere in TN. It "sat" in

With Natchez, be aware that they price items pretty well, but the cost of shipping and handling is, sometimes, considerably higher than Midway and others. This difference is often WAYYYY more than the pricing advantage...

Could anyone tell me, can I shoot 44/40 rounds from The Judge? I have about 400 rounds reloaded from Sass shooting. The case fits in the cyl. and the lead is a little smaller then the 45 LC lead. I notice

Thanks for the tip about Natchez, I'll have to check them out.

TOPFUEL,
I think once you use the PDX, it will become your ammo of choice. While the 45LC is a great round, it can't compare with the damage the PDX can inflict. Of course, it really depends

I picked my Judge up last Saturday, will be going to the range this coming Sunday. I bought a crapload of ammo just to see what happens. One I read here from Mudmann mentioned the Win with the 3 plates

Thanks Will! I learned yesterday that lesson when I tried to put the 45 cal in and it slid way up inside chamber. Fell out! Also learned that Wallymart won't do exchange, so now I gotta trade with a buddy...or buy another gun???

My Judge just arrived and the model is 441041T and this model sure does fire 410 and 45C ammo. Would I be able to shoot Winchester 45 Auto or do I have to have 45 Colt?
This gun was marked as a "Special Buy" with 4" barrel -nothing fancy and heavier than the shorties.

Considering the advantages of shotguns,i.e., with the right loads, they offer good home defense without over penetrating walls, and pistols, i.e., easier to conceal, I am thinking about buying two judges,
