Introduced in 2010, the Public Defender Poly is the lightest member of the Judge family thanks to its polymer-over-steel sub-frame construction. The material choice drops weight without sacrificing strength, making this revolver easier to carry and quicker to present.
The sleeved stainless barrel is surrounded by a high-impact polymer shroud, keeping muzzle weight down while maintaining corrosion resistance. A 1:12.14 right-hand twist stabilizes .45 Colt bullets, and the 2.5-inch chamber accepts standard .410 shotshell loads.
An orange fiber-optic front sight teams with a fixed rear notch for fast target acquisition in varied lighting. The Ribber rubber grip helps manage recoil from both handgun and shotshell rounds, giving the shooter confident control.
The action runs in either double- or single-action mode, with a transfer-bar firing-pin system and Taurus Security System keyed lock providing layered safety. A matte stainless cylinder resists wear and holds five rounds, offering a balance between capacity and compact size.
