What’s Included
- Taurus Judge Public Defender Poly revolver
This Public Defender Poly retains the hallmark Judge dual-caliber capability, accepting both .45 Colt cartridges and 2.5-inch .410 shotshells. Shallow rifling in the 2.5-inch stainless barrel manages shot dispersion while still stabilizing standard revolver rounds.
The polymer over steel sub-frame trims weight without sacrificing strength. A matte-black finish on the frame contrasts with the fluted matte-stainless cylinder for a purpose-driven look that also shrugs off corrosion.
Taurus equips this model with a red fiber-optic front sight and an integral square-notch rear, delivering quick target acquisition in varied lighting. The extended ejector rod streamlines extraction of .410 hulls, while the ribbed “Ribber” rubber grip absorbs recoil and maintains control.
Operational flexibility comes from the exposed, serrated hammer that supports both double-action and single-action fire. Internal safeguards include a transfer-bar firing system, firing-pin block, and keyed Taurus Security System for secure storage.
