Bouncing around the idea of getting a Judge with the 6.5 inch barrel length and at that size the option of a cylinder chambered for 3 inch .410 is available; Taurus calls these the Judge Magnum.
On one hand the ability is nice, but the little extra shot is going to be spun all the same and the 000 Buck loads just mean I get one extra pellet and the Judge Magnum would weigh either 8 or 16 ounces more (confusing data on their website). The pro and con to that is the Judge Magnum is less fun to carry vs a standard Judge, but recoil is tamed and more enjoyable to shoot.
However, I'm not really looking at these long barrel Judges to shoot .410 from them, I'm more interested in them to shoot .45 Colt. That being the case, which would you guys choose?
There is also a difference in price, the Judge Magnum is about $50 more than the standard Judge.
