A: Taurus is garbage. Violation of "cancer meds" rule, poor quality control, poor materials, just poor quality in general.
B: The Taurus Judge in particular (and the S&W governor) is an abomination. .410 shells are terrible for self defense. Universally. It's just bad. .410 is good for squirrels and snakes and not much else. .45 Long Colt (or .454 Casull for the Raging Judge) is fine for self defense, but work better out of dedicated .45LC firearm.
C: Revolvers are waaaaaaaay more complicated (mechanically) than a semi auto, I don't know where the "reliability of a revolver" thing came into play, maybe it was true once, but the only benefit of a revolver is the strength of the platform for big bullets with lots of powder behind them. Otherwise they're heavy, complex, low capacity, with absurdly heavy trigger pulls.
A Taurus judge is just the trifecta of bullshit. :vomit:
