- September 20, 2015, 21:49:19 PMDon't know what 'disc shot' is, but I'm thinking it is similar to what a friend of mine did one time with a 12 gauge; dumped the shot out of it and packed the shell with dimes; one shot wiped out the wall of a shed; I can imagine what it would do to a warm body.....

- September 20, 2015, 21:21:59 PMThat's what I figured. I went over to Gander Mountain today and handled one. The price they want for the public defender model w/2" barrel is $100 more than Cabela's for the same gun. I would have to ride about 55 miles to the closest Cabela's to get one. Sounds like a deal breaker...not!..I was looking at the 2 1/2" disc/shot ammo they had on the shelf...They didn't have any .45 LC, but I'm pretty sure Wal-Mart does....Now to get the money together....

- September 20, 2015, 20:09:17 PMI don't own one, and have never shot one, but have read good stuff about them. I always thought it would be a versatile handgun. You've got lots of choices in ammo - shot, buckshot, slugs, and there are some disc ammo that's pretty good. Not to mention .45 LC... nothing wrong with that, either.

- September 19, 2015, 21:22:22 PMConsidering a new addition to my very small arms collection. When I first started to have issues with carpal tunnel syndrome, I stopped shooting my .44 Desert Eagle. After I had the surgery, and was supposedly "cured" I found I couldn't pull the slide back to chamber a round. I sold the Eagle, but I kept my Llama 1911 .45 I carry it with me on the road, and it's within 10 feet of me right now...My hand strength is improving after 8 years of rehab, and I'm thinking I want a new hand gun to compliment my Llama....Looking at a Taurus Judge.. probably the "public defender" model with the 2" barrel and 2 1/2" cylinder. Smaller than my .45, and it shoots (for those of you who don't know) .45 long Colt and .410 shotgun shells. There are even new versions of the .410 designed specifically for hand guns.. and of course, it also shoots .410 slugs. I was wondering if anyone knows about them, and has had any personal experience with one. Taurus offers a lifetime warranty on them, so although it probably won't see enough use to wear out, I feel that their willingness to back up their hardware that well makes me feel more secure. I had a good warranty with my Llama, but the company went out of business after like 100 years....BTW, I'll bet I've put close to 1,000 rounds through that .45 with NO malfunctions. Soooo, whatcha think???
