The Public Defender Poly variant is marked on the barrel shroud and pairs a polymer frame with a stainless steel barrel liner and an alloy steel cylinder. This configuration delivers the recognizable Judge profile in a lighter package with durable materials where they matter.
Chambered for .45 Colt and 2.5-inch .410 shotshells, this model uses a 5-shot cylinder and a double-action/single-action system with an exposed hammer. A transfer bar provides the integral safety mechanism.
Sighting is straightforward and practical: an orange fiber-optic ramped front blade and a rear notch. The cylinder and other metal components wear a matte black-oxide finish, while the exposed muzzle ring of the stainless barrel liner is left bright. The frame/shroud is black polymer, and the grips are black rubber finger-groove with Taurus medallions for a secure hold.
Import and origin markings read "Taurus Int'l Mfg Miami, FL – USA" and "Made in Brazil." The factory box end label identifies the model code as 2-441021PFS, matching this Public Defender Poly configuration with a 2-inch barrel and 2.5-inch .410 chamber.
