Taurus has been getting some publicity over their Judge revolver.  It is a light weight revolver that shoots either 45 Long Colt or .410 shotgun shells.  Their website says it is so named because many judges are carrying this weapon in their courtrooms. This is just one of the latest entries into the 45 LC/.410 field.  Many be wondering whether or not they would be good for self-defense.  The first thing to remember is that any gun is better...

My cousin is a big fan of a group of guys who train here in TN, called Tactical Response.  He has been to several of their classes, and recently let me preview their Fighting Rifle video.
