I would tend to agree, A revolving firearm is a great choice to be used as an HD firearm or SD or whatever you want to use with itm but if you cannot accurately handle it you either need more time with it or need to choose something else, its a known issue the shallow grooves in the judge series does not stabilize Long Colt rounds as good as a dedicated .45 caliber weapon is. You and your spouse need more time behind that weapon to be effective with it.Shot one just to see the big deal = still think it would make a great anchor for a small boat.
Those "groups" were pitiful,unless fired from at least 10 yards ?.
I would happily buy the lighter version,IF they would make it with a cylinder to ONLY fire .45Colt rounds.[ it would shorten the cylinder a great deal ]
That would be THE best snubby and primary or BUG ever.
Those groups were at 8 yards by a first time shooter.My groups were at 25 yards.Shot one just to see the big deal = still think it would make a great anchor for a small boat.

I am not a fan of .410 shotshells through a revolver barrel due to their severe inability to penetrate.
.45 colt, yes
There's always "something better", but as long as you don't use .410 birdshot it will probably work fine. And it would probably suffice most of the time with the birdshot, too.
This is .410 buckshot from a short-barreled Taurus Judge. Out of that little barrel it makes just over 700 fps.
