Return of a Heavy-Hitting Classic

Taurus has officially announced the return of its formidable Raging Judge multi-caliber revolver to limited production this week. This powerful six-shot firearm marks a significant comeback after being absent from the market for over five years.

Background and Development History

The Raging Judge first made its debut in 2010 as an enhanced successor to Taurus's popular .410 Bore/.45 Colt Judge series. However, production ceased in 2019 when the company shifted focus to the Raging Bull line, which launched that same year.

What Sets the Raging Judge Apart

The primary distinction between the larger Raging Judge and the standard Judge revolves around its capability to handle the powerful .454 Casull cartridge. This enhanced chambering allows the revolver to fire projectiles weighing up to 400 grains while delivering an impressive 1,900 foot-pounds of energy on target. This energy output represents nearly double the power of even the most potent .45 Colt +P factory ammunition.
