Just had this reasoned response from another forum: What do you guys think? Concur?

Yeah, no contest there. .444 Marlin is WAY more pressure than a regular Judge or the 3" .410 "Magnum" Judge can handle. The Raging Judge Magnum, with its .454 Casull capacity, is the first version to really make this a possibility... depending on who you ask. :) I'm not exactly sure what...

That is what I was thinking, but I am no expert. I figured there are bound to be factors I was failing to consider. Like I said before, you could say the same thing about firing .45-70 out of a 2-inch barrel. This is strictly entertainment value only. And yes, it is indeed very similar to...

Alrighty. Of course, this isn't just a .45 cylinder, it is also a .454 cylinder, and a .410 cylinder. I haven't been able to find case mouth data on .410, though. ETA: Unless I am looking at the wrong thing, the numbers in your diagram do not seem to match the data I listed in post #1 for...

Interesting. So, you are speculating that the cylinder throats might potentially be too small to accomodate the mouth of the .444 cartridge. Rest assured, I will not be jamming anything into anything. Based on my research, though, this should not be a problem. Threads that I've checked out which...

It would just be target shooting, and I don't reload, so the waste for me is pretty much the same. The simplest explanation, is that I know people who like firing large cartridges. We currently own a "Thunder Five," which is a revolver that can fire .45-70. But it's got a 2" barrel with...

Thanks for the responses! By this, do you mean poor performance/accuracy? Or something else? Okay, now what would be some possible consequences of a bulging or splitting case? Obviously, it might be difficult to remove it from the cylinder. Are there other, potentially more serious...

Hello! I am not a gunsmith, but am seeking the opinions of experienced gunsmiths on a particular matter: Taurus recently introduced the Raging Judge Magnum, a revolver designed to fire .45 Colt, 3" .410 shells, and the 65,000psi .454 Casull. Thus, we have a cylinder capable of handling...

I've had a 9mm mousegun, I decided I wanted something in a stronger caliber. I tried the PM45 out in my pocket, and it seems to fit just fine. It even fits in the PM40 pocket holster! The grip is just a tad longer, and that's it. The magazine capacity on both guns is the same (5 rounds), at...

I have a PM40 I've been very happy with, that I am nevertheless probably going to sell in order to get a PM45, based on the feedback here and elsewhere. The one concern I have, is the effects of such a short barrel on the already rather slow .45 ACP round. In a barrel that short, which bullet...
