We owned a Taurus Judge Public Defender (stainless steel) when we lived in North Carolina. Put 1000+ rounds of .410 and 1000+ rounds of 45 through it. Below are my thoughts...
-Reliable and never malfunctioned with all brands of ammo we fired
-Used Frog Lube to keep it clean and lubricated
-Small bolts on the pistol required tightening every 100+ rounds, must be due to the power of this pistol
-Fired accurately from 10-15 feet with Defender PDX1 ammo and most others
-The factory grip is soft and comfortable in the hand, although my pinky would hang off a bit
-Thought we'd like to sights since they were red up front however no real added value over basic white sights to me
-When it was in my hand, here at home, I felt safe and knew it would protect my family, I was 10 times tougher when it was loaded
-Purchase one, it sure is FUN!
