Taurus Judge Public Defender | .45LC/.410 | 5rd | 2-2.99in | 2-441021PFS

The Taurus Judge Public Defender is a compact, hammer-fired revolver designed to accept both .45 Long Colt and .410 bore cartridges. It uses a polymer frame to reduce weight while retaining a steel cylinder and barrel components and ships as a five-shot revolver. The gun is fitted with a high-visibility fiber-optic front sight and an adjustable rear sight for practical aiming at typical defensive and recreational distances.

Common real-world uses include everyday carry/concealed carry where legal and recreational range shooting or plinking; the model’s compact profile also suits close-range field carry for small-game scenarios where permitted.
