My Father owns a Taurus Judge pistol and I was wandering if anyone has gone small game hunting with it (if your state allows it to be used) and how successful have you been with it...

Im not positive it was a "Judge," but one of my friends shot a coyote between the eyes at 50 yards with a taurus pistol so im sure they would do pretty well.

I havent heard of using a judge for hunting, but it could work if done right. The Judge is a .410 short barrel revolver. With a short barrel and no choke tube, the shot pattern will spread very large in a very short range. Using birdshot, I couldnt imagine it being very effective on squirrels or rabbits past about 15 yards. Best bet would be to find out what different shotshells are avaiable and then shoot a small game target at varying distances to see where the shot pattern is too large to responsibley take down game.

Classified as a hand gun and most states regulate ther use depending on the game you hunt. Barrell lenght will also determine legality.
