Taurus Judge Public Defender 45 Colt/410 Gauge 2.5" 5-Shot Gray

The Taurus Judge Public Defender combines the versatility of firing both .45 Colt cartridges and 2.5-inch .410 shotshells in a compact defensive revolver. This dual-caliber capability provides shooters with ammunition flexibility for close-range defensive situations. The gray polymer frame construction reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity.

What Makes This Different

Unlike traditional single-caliber revolvers, the Judge Public Defender chambers both .45 Colt and .410 shotshells without modification. The 2.5-inch barrel length makes it significantly more concealable than standard Judge models while retaining effective defensive range. The polymer frame construction reduces weight by approximately 30% compared to steel-frame alternatives. The ribbed cylinder design provides enhanced grip during manual cycling.

Key Features

• Dual-caliber capability: fires .45 Colt and 2.5-inch .410 shotshells
• 5-shot cylinder capacity with transfer bar safety system
• Gray polymer frame with black rubber grip for secure handling
• 2.5-inch barrel with gray finish for corrosion resistance
• Matte black oxide cylinder finish reduces glare
• Fixed front sight and rear notch sight configuration
• Double/single action trigger mechanism

The Public Defender excels in close-quarters defensive scenarios where shot spread from .410 shells provides stopping power without over-penetration concerns. The .45 Colt option delivers precise single-projectile accuracy for situations requiring targeted shots. Weather-resistant finishes on both barrel and cylinder maintain functionality in adverse conditions. The compact profile makes it suitable for concealed carry applications where larger revolvers prove impractical.
