I've owned three Judges, all the same variant, a 3" stainless chambered for 3" shotshells. All three would not shoot reliably double action. Anybody buying a Judge should shoot them extensively double-action, before relying on them for anything other than target shooting or plinking. They also need to have a load custom-tailored to reliably get shot on a snake-head sized target at anything more than about a yard.
