The circuit judge is awesome, like wild west style, and its cheap. I would put it in the good category for end of days, 410 buck shot, followed by 410 slug or 45 long colt, if the warning doesn't turn em, put a big hole in them. The revolver style is also for more reliable and maintenance free compared to a semiauto. We have a taurus 357 with 2.5" barrel, my wife loves that gun. She prefers to shoot 38special, which is fine by me, much cheaper, but a versatile gun as well.
