Tuco Ragin' Judge

[Marplot]

Saw a revolver on "Better Call Saul" TV Series. The character, Tuco, had a huge revolver! It was called a Taurus Ragin Judge, 45 Long Colt, 3" .410 shotshell and .454 Casull.

I heard that Taurus made the pistol for Courtroom Judges who had been shot in the courtroom. The Taurus loaded with .410 would put the quietus on a perp without continuing through and through bystanders. Not sure I would agree as the best idea, but Taurus sold a few!

The gunshow owner said the seller only shot it once 454 Casull and sold it. I found one at a gunshow, half price, next to an S&W 500 Magnum also shot once and half price. Took 'em both home with me!

At my age I have no interest in firing magnum loads. I saw the S&W Had twice the recoil of a .44 Magnum. I did shoot the Judge with 45LC and .410, no big deal. I plan to load the 500 S&W Magnum at target loads. I love the look of that pistol.

I'll take a few pictures and load 'em up later.

Speaking of pistols and temptations, you'll have to look at a CVA Optima V2 pistol.

I Love Cimarron! I got the Walker Lonesome Dove and the 1860 Colt McCulloch. Amazon holster.

My Grandson has the Ragin Judge and in .454 Casul, it's really not that much fun.

One end of it hurts the target and the other end maims the shooter. Not fun!

That’s not a handcannon. This is.
330 Dakota caliber. Ballistically superior to a 338 Win. Mag. Lol

I like both. Tempted about the PREACHER, but already have two Walkers. Maybe get the Tuco.

Walkers are a bit heavy to carry. Keep trying to pull my pants down!

So your saying your Walkers are like the women in your life - Always trying to pull your pants down?

I have the Taurus smaller 2.5 inch .410/.45 Colt snub nose version. It is actually not bad at all with either shooting .410 or .45 Colt rounds. Every once in a while some rare 2.5 inch .410 shells actually show up at the gun stores for sale too. Anyway it just barely fits in the big pockets of my jeans.

I test fired the bigger Judge too and I did not find it objectionable to shoot. All that extra size and weight tends to moderate the recoil. But I didn’t shoot any .454 Casul rounds out of it though. But I think it is more for keeping under the judge’s bench on a shelf than to carry around on your person.

But the 3 inch shells are almost unobtanium. Worse is the prices as about all anyone has on the shelf are the bismouth shot loads at .460 Weatherby ammo prices.
