Taurus Judge Public Defender 45 Colt (LC) / 410 Bore 2" 5rd DA/SA Revolver - Matte Black Oxide

The Taurus Judge Public Defender is a compact, small-frame revolver built around one of the most versatile chamberings in the Taurus lineup - 45 Colt (Long Colt) and 410 Bore. With a 2" barrel, a 5-round cylinder, and a scaled-down frame, the Public Defender delivers the same devastating terminal options as the full-size Judge in a package sized for everyday carry or vehicle use.

This DA/SA double-action revolver is built on a steel frame with a matching steel barrel and cylinder, all finished in a low-glare matte black oxide that resists wear and helps reduce reflection in defensive situations. An exposed hammer allows for single-action thumb-cocking, while a transfer bar safety blocks the firing pin from contacting a chambered round until the trigger is fully pressed - a meaningful safety feature on a carry revolver.

The Public Defender wears black Ribber overmolded grips that provide a secure hold despite the gun's trim dimensions. Targeting is straightforward with a fiber optic front sight paired with a fixed rear - a fast, intuitive setup for close-range defensive work. The whole package weighs just 28 oz unloaded and measures 7.75" overall.

Chambered to handle both 45 Colt and 2-1/2" 410 shotshells, the Judge Public Defender gives shooters the flexibility to choose between traditional magnum handgun ammunition and shotgun-pattern defensive loads. It is a practical choice for personal protection and a fun option at the range for shooters who want a compact, lightweight revolver with real versatility.
