Taurus Judge Public Defender 45 Colt (LC)/410 Gauge 2.5" 5-Shot DA/SA Revolver

The Taurus Judge Public Defender is a compact, easy-carrying revolver chambered for both 45 Colt (Long Colt) and 410 Gauge, giving you the versatility to feed either a traditional magnum pistol cartridge or a 410 shotshell through the same cylinder. This scaled-down spin on the original Judge shrinks the package down for personal protection, sport, or bedside duty without giving up the dual-caliber flexibility that made the line famous.

Built around a small black polymer frame, the Public Defender carries an exposed hammer for traditional single-action cocking alongside a smooth double-action trigger pull. The 2.5-inch barrel wears a black finish, while the five-shot cylinder is finished in matte black oxide for a coordinated, low-glare look. A fiber optic front sight pairs with an adjustable rear sight for fast, intuitive aiming in close-range defensive use.

The grips are black rubber for a secure hold and effective recoil management, even when running 410-bore defensive loads. The whole package weighs in at 27 ounces and measures just 7.65 inches overall, making it an unobtrusive companion in a coat pocket, range bag, or nightstand drawer. Whether you load 45 Colt for punch or 410 shotshells for spread, the Judge Public Defender delivers the kind of flexible firepower that has made the Taurus Judge a go-to option for personal protection and sport shooting alike.
