The Taurus Judge 2441061T delivers dual-caliber versatility in a single platform, chambered for both .45 Colt and .410 bore shotshells. This 6.5-inch barrel configuration maximizes velocity and accuracy while maintaining the Judge's signature ability to handle multiple ammunition types. The matte black oxide finish provides corrosion resistance for all-weather reliability.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional revolvers limited to a single cartridge type, the Judge accepts .45 Colt, .45 ACP (with moon clips), and .410 shotshells up to 3 inches. The extended 6.5-inch barrel increases muzzle velocity by approximately 100-150 fps compared to shorter variants. Steel construction throughout the barrel, cylinder, and frame ensures structural integrity under the pressures of .410 shotshells, which generate different stress patterns than standard revolver cartridges.
Key Features
- Dual caliber capability: .45 Colt and .410 bore shotshells up to 3 inches
- 6.5-inch steel barrel with matte black oxide finish for corrosion resistance
- 5-shot cylinder capacity with steel construction rated for high-pressure loads
- Black rubber grip provides secure hold and recoil management
- Exposed hammer design allows single and double-action operation
- Transfer bar safety system prevents accidental discharge
- Accepts .45 ACP with optional moon clips for additional versatility
The extended barrel length enhances accuracy with both cartridge types while reducing muzzle blast compared to snub-nose variants. .410 shotshells deliver effective patterns for close-range pest control and small game, while .45 Colt provides stopping power for larger targets. The steel frame absorbs recoil effectively, making extended shooting sessions more comfortable than lightweight alternatives.
