Taurus introduced the first polymer Judge at the 2010 SHOT Show. Called the “Public Defender Polymer,” this Taurus Judge features a frame entirely made of polymer with a stainless steel cylinder and barrel insert.  This follows the trend started by Ruger last year with the polymer LCR revolver.
Holding the polymer Judge, I was impressed by how light it felt. Weighing 27 ounces, the Public Defender Polymer is clearly much lighter than the other models of Judge revolvers. The handgun was well balanced, and a red fiber optic front sight was very easy to acquire.
Like other Judge revolvers, the polymer Judge chambers five 2.5″ .410 shotshells and .45 Colt cartridges.
