tj462nj 32 Posted July 19, 2009 Chad, the Judge is my personal choice for my protection gun....a bit more costly to shoot the 45LC, but the 410 is fun to play with at the range. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chad 3 Posted July 19, 2009 The Judge....because its cool & different. The Smith....because its inexpensive and I only have one revolver and I would like another. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfy 51 Posted July 19, 2009 I vote for the Smith because it is a Smith. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinyboy 1 Posted July 19, 2009 I have the Judge. I use it for home protection in my office but not in my bedroom (I use a .40 S&W or a 9mm for that). I use 000 Buck. The reason I have the Judge in my office is its right off the front door, so it will likely be a close encounter, which the Judge is the best weapon for, in my opinion. It's basically a Shot-Handgun. I would not want to use it, even with slugs or 45 long colt (which I cant find anywhere anyway) from a distance, even upstairs in my house and I would want something that has more than 5 rounds If you are just picking something up for the heck of it, the Judge rocks the house! I'll bring mine Tuesday if you wanna try it tinyboy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maksim 1,504 Posted July 19, 2009 When in doubt.... get both. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tbtrout 141 Posted July 19, 2009 The Smith all the way. Classic blued steel just makes me all warm and fuzzy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Ray 3,566 Posted July 20, 2009 The judge is an easy choice. Buck shot, bird shot, slugs, and 45LC rounds. So many options to choose from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chad 3 Posted July 21, 2009 When in doubt.... get both. I only have two PP's. One is spoken for with this and the other I'm trying to figure out what to do with. The bullet hole has several judges in stock @ decent prices from what I can see. Thanks for the imput everyone. Grrrrr decisions decisions! lol :roll: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chad 3 Posted July 22, 2009 Thanks for the advice fellas. Went with the judge from TBH. Firearms price quote request worked great from here. Submitted it yesterday, heard back from Jen last night & took the ride today. I will be submitting paperwork for more PP's tomorow and I will be getting the Smith when they come in.

tj462nj 32 Posted July 22, 2009 Lol, maybe I help you next time. Is that an ultralight? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chad 3 Posted July 22, 2009 Absolutely, I still want that Smith you have....I'm applying for more PP's in the AM. If its still available in about 3 years when I get my PP's I'll take it! That is not the ultralight, just a two tone version. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
