I bought two new guns today. The first one is a judge (pictures here with my target practice). The other gun is an Hk 9mm, picture and target i follow up thread.

@freemo , nice. How do you think the Judge compares to a .357 Python?

@freemo , to clarify, if you only had the option to own one....

Just looked up options for the Judge... and I like the Circuit Judge. Damn! I want to see some test firing... But that has to be good out to 200 yards or so.

@JonKramer yea it can hold up with some distance for sure.

i can say the Judge is my #1 choice for at home self defense just cause of that shotgun shell. I will say this, its too bulky as an everyday carry though if you want to go with conceal carry.

@JonKramer I will say this about the judge though, you do get a bit of power burn... if i werent wearing glasses it could have hurt my eyes to be honest

@freemo , that's a problem. It's kinda rare that a fox in the henhouse will give you time to find eye protection!

@JonKramer for a fox in the henhouse id probably use a 9mm if you wanted to use a hand gun, but then again im not the person you shoukd ask ;)

@JonKramer Honestly, no clue. I never show a .357 python that I recall. I am far from an expert on guns. I own these two guns and an AR-15 (sig, mil spec).

I can say this, the Judge has a hell of a kickback. Hurts your hand after a few rounds. But its got some stopping power too it. I bought it because it takes bullets AND shotgun shells, which is a killer combo for self-defense at close range.

@freemo , agreed. I was wondering if it hurt to fire...

I am not a fan of concealed carry. I think many of those guys are looking for trouble, or at a minimum not avoiding places where trouble will be. I would open carry... my daily carry is an 1858 Remington New Army. I CAN hide it in my kilt... but just carry on my belt.

@JonKramer I got nothing against concealed carry but i just never felt the need before since I was never a target. But now i pissed off some bad people doing some good things and am a target so for me conceal carry is just the responsibke move.
