The Public Defender Polymer variant of the Judge features a compact 2-inch barrel and a five-shot cylinder, chambered for .45 Colt and 2.5-inch .410 shotshells. This configuration offers the model’s well-known dual-chamber utility in a smaller footprint.
Construction centers on a hybrid polymer shell over a steel subframe, combining strength with reduced weight. The frame and receiver wear an FDE finish, while the alloy-steel cylinder has a matte black oxide finish for contrast and corrosion resistance.
The barrel uses a steel liner and incorporates lightening cuts on the shroud. Sighting is fast and straightforward with an orange fiber-optic front on a black ramp with protective ears, paired with a low-profile rear notch.
Controls and handling features include a double-action/single-action system with a spurred hammer and a black rubber Ribber-style grip. Factory markings include "Made in Brazil," "Taurus Int'l Mfg Miami FL-USA," and "PAT. PEND. 4510," with the barrel shroud marked "PUBLIC DEFENDER POLY" and "THE JUDGE." The factory MPN is 2-441021FDE, and the serial number on the revolver matches the box label.
