Judge models explained
The Judge has a 3 or 6.5 inch barrel in our listings. The Judge Magnum is the Judge for 3 inch .410 shells (its listings read "410 Mag"), with 3 and 6.5 inch barrels. The Public Defender is the short one, with a 2.5 inch barrel (2 inch in a few listings) and polymer frame versions. The Home Defender has a 13 inch barrel, and the Executive Grade has walnut grips. T.O.R.O. versions are optic ready. In stock by model: Judge (13), Judge Magnum (7), Public Defender (8) and Home Defender (3).
The Judge, Judge Magnum, Public Defender and Home Defender hold 5 rounds in our listings; the Raging Judge listing holds 6 and also takes .454 Casull. Check the chamber length in a listing before you buy 3 inch .410 shells for it.
Holsters, grips and lasers for the Judge
Holsters are made for a barrel length, so match the one in the title to yours: our holster listings name the Judge 3 inch, the Public Defender 2 or 2.5 inch, or the Judge alone. Grips and laser grips from Hogue, Pachmayr, Crimson Trace and Viridian name the Judge, the Public Defender or both. The parts tabs below the grid list the ones in stock.
