Off Season Lets Talk Guns
Been a while since we had a guns n' ammo discussion.
Some of you are AR shooters Im sure. Im looking at a Colt 6920. Will be my first AR. Picked up a Glock this fall and really enjoy shooting it. Any feedback on that weapon? Anyone else been in a buy/sell/trade mood with hardware? Part 2: http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=293623 Last edited by Bearcat; 07-28-2015 at 06:06 PM.. |

The Judge... 410 shot/slug and 45... has anyone shot one, I'm hearing all kinds of shit, some terrible some awesome and I have a pretty god idea where I'm going, but wanted to hear the Planets take beforehand for sure.
They're inexpensive but shoot 410 shotgun and 45, all in a well made lightweight frame... the only true hangup I'm hearing about is the ribbed 410 shells, everything else is 8/10 positive. Need some help here, want a self defender to go with my BOB 22. |

But a pistol designed for 410 and 45 rounds is inherently limited, big kick, small pattern with buckshot, short range duty only... but a full size sawed off 12 gauge on the other hand is a ridiculous, and illegal, powerbomb. |

I've seen ONE TERRIBLE review on it and four other very good ones... the bad review was "well, with a 410 slug I only got 12 inches of penetration on these here gallon jugs" My thought upon reading it was... "well how much penetration do you need old timer, need it to blow a hole the size of a golfball out their back to settle the matter?" |

The one I will pick up hopefully soon is the Taurus Raging Judge Magnum. 45 Long Colt(really why bother lol), 3" 410 shotgun shell(not only 2.5" like the governator), and the kicker....454 Casull. Now this thing will bring the pain(and not just from the recoil! )

The reason the Judge and Governor style revolvers are legal is because they are not smoothbores. Those revolvers have a very shallow rifling, making them handguns.
Incidentally, this is also why those guns are are not as useful as you think. They don't shoot 45 Colt very well because the rifling is shallow. They don't shoot 410 well because the rifling creates a donut hole in the shot pattern. |

The problem with rifling and shot is that it spins the balls and causes them to spin outward too fast. You would see significant spread in that case and it doesn't look that bad on the vids I've seen. Part of that is lessened by using larger shot/slugs that handle rifling better. But really the gun is designed for ~5-10 yards and they've got the rifling decently well done. It will stabilize the bullets without spinning the hell out of the shot. BTW the governor/judge's aren't natively legal everywhere. Due to quicks in the law I know they would normally be considered Short Barreled Shotguns in places like California. Even if it wasn't rifled it would only need to be papered as an AOW to be legal most everywhere.

Not great but if you have a Pro Bass around your area it's in there. My credit card went through on the order, but no email so I called and it was there screw up they don't ship ammo, in store only, pricks.

So I went ahead and bought a used Marlin rifle that shoots the 17hmr, with a used scope on it. I had the dealer mount the scope too. All told, with tax, about $388. It's used, but it's a nice rifle. I can hardly wait to shoot it.

Marlin is a quality rifle. I got my first one, a Model 37A Golden Mountie, back around 1976. It has 10's of thousands of rounds through it and it never misses a beat. I didn't even know that they made a 17hmr. |
