Description
Taurus Judge Public Defender — .45 Colt / .410 Bore (Double-Action, Polymer Frame, 2.5" Barrel, 5-Round)
Compact multi-caliber performance. Designed for short-range stopping power and easy carry.
The Taurus Judge Public Defender is a medium-frame, double-action polymer revolver chambered for both .45 Colt and .410 Bore—packaged in a compact 2.5" barrel configuration for a balance of concealability and effectiveness. With a 5-round cylinder, rubber grips for positive control, and a fiber-optic front sight for fast target acquisition, this revolver is built to be simple, robust, and ready for close-range defensive use, duty applications, or quick handling at the range.

Why It Stands Out
The Judge Public Defender pairs multi-caliber flexibility (.45 Colt/.410) with a compact, lightweight polymer platform—delivering a revolver that’s easy to carry yet effective at close distances. The fiber-optic front sight speeds sighting, while rubber grips tame recoil for a better follow-up-shot experience. It’s a straightforward, dependable option when you want a no-nonsense defensive revolver with proven versatility.
