The Public Defender Poly variant uses a lightweight polymer frame finished in black, matched with a 2-inch steel barrel sleeve housed in an integral polymer shroud and a crowned muzzle. This construction keeps the package compact while protecting the barrel and aiding durability.
Chambered for .45 Colt and 2.5-inch .410 shotshells, the revolver uses an unfluted, alloy-steel 5-shot cylinder with a blued/black finish. The action is double-action/single-action with a smooth trigger and an exposed hammer, providing flexible operation.
Sighting is straightforward and fast with a red fiber-optic front blade and a top-strap rear notch. The installed aftermarket Pachmayr Gripper rubber grips add finger grooves and a tacky texture that promotes a secure, repeatable hold.
Safety features include a transfer bar and the Taurus Security System (keyed hammer lock). Rollmarks include "THE JUDGE," ".45LC/.410GA," "PUBLIC DEFENDER POLY," and "TAURUS." The frame is marked "TAURUS INT'L MFG MIAMI, FL - USA" and "MADE IN BRAZIL."
