Been taking my .45/.410 10" contender with me when checking my hog trap lately. It's snake season, but beyond that, I figure if I hear some hogs, I can whip the choke off and put a .45 in it hopefully quick enough to maybe get a shot.
So, anyway, I'm walking out there in my waterproof snake boots (about a half mile hike in from the road) to check my trap yesterday when a cotton tail jumps and runs down a clear path long enough for me to get on him. At between 15 and 20 yards I rolled him. Now, I'm thinkin', what other handgun on earth could I get on and actually HIT a running rabbit with? ROFL! Keep your Taurus Judge. I know this is only a single shot, but for outdoor use, hey, it's far more useful. And, the handloads I fire in .45 Colt in this thing, pretty accurate out to 50 yards, would not be kind to a lesser gun. I only own this barrel and a Ruger Blackhawk in .45 Colt and they're both strong guns for hot loads.
