The Judge Vs. S&W 19-5 ???

[Chad 3]

Just looking for a new toy. No special purpose.

pics of both and rationale for each.

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.

[Chad 3]

The Judge....because its cool & different.

 

 

The Smith....because its inexpensive and I only have one revolver and I would like another.

 

[Wolfy 51]

I vote for the Smith because it is a Smith.

SMITH

[tinyboy 1]

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

When in doubt.... get both.

[tbtrout 141]

The Smith all the way. Classic blued steel just makes me all warm and fuzzy.

[Ray Ray 3,566]

The judge is an easy choice. Buck shot, bird shot, slugs, and 45LC rounds. So many options to choose from.

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:

Chad how long does it take you to get to the bullet hole from where you live?

What will come first, the sw from the recall or your permits expiring. =P

[Chad 3]

Tiny, I've never been there, but according to ::ahem:: lostquest, its about an hour.

 

 

Maks....hahaha who knows!!! I have 2 1/2 months before they expire, so we will find out! I can get an extention if it comes down to it.

[Maksim 1,504]

it takes me an hour being right off of the pike.

 

if you are taking route 9.... good luck.

Ah - it depends more on your time of day and timing the lights right

[Chad 3]

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]

Glad to see you got one Chad

[Chad 3]

Thanks! Would have got the one you had if that other guy didn't jump infront of me!!!!! lol

[tj462nj 32]

Lol, maybe I help you next time. Is that an ultralight?

[Chad 3]

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.

[tj462nj 32]

A small deposit and I can hold it til you get your permit, not a problem.

[Chad 3]

Wow....that would be great. When will you be there next?

[Ray Ray 3,566]

Nice Chad, good choice. That was the version I wanted too! Is it the 3 in magnum or the 2 1/2 shotshell version?

[Chad 3]

Thanks Ray! Its the 3" version

[Lublin 3]

Smith FTW!!!!111!!1111!!!1!!!!!1

[Chad 3]

yeah yeah yeah, I know! lolol

 

I'm putting a deposit on it to hold it till my permits come in. I can't pass that up.
