Notes
The Raging Judge's 3-inch chamber accepts 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 shells, providing more pellets and better patterns than the standard Judge. The heavy Raging Bull frame and dual-locking system safely contain the 65,000 PSI pressures of .454 Casull. The combination of extreme power and shotshell versatility makes it unique.
Background
The Judge became a cultural phenomenon after its introduction, with its ability to fire .410 shotshells making it one of the most controversial and discussed handguns of the 21st century.
