I like this one. Reasonably priced. Taurus "Public Defender", a smaller version of "The Judge". Shoots .45 or .410.

Same here. It's like "a box of chocolates". You don't know what you're going to get. A .45 Colt or .410 Defender.

Nice. But you have to watch the kind of centerfire cartridges you fire in them. Light alloy frame. I have a Governor and they recommend that you try different manufacturer loads to see what happens on subsequent cartridges (e.g., 5th or 6th rounds) to make sure the bullet didn’t pull out some from the case.
Mine showed that some standard Winchester Super X 45 LC rounds actually did this. In a couple of cases, near 1/8th of an inch. Not good.
I finally settled on some Hornady 185 GR FTX.....
Read your Taurus manual!

What a joke!!!
Too heavy to carry, and you can do much better for a glove box or home protection.
I’d have one for a tackle box for snakes and that’s about all.

I have one of those by the nightstand. Since the usual range would be 10' from my bed to the door, the first two rounds are #7 bird shot to keep from going through the wallboard and taking out a neighbor. While the bad guy is holding his face, going "OW! OW! OW!", I have three more
of these PDX1s for even closer range. If he's on the floor or running/limping away, THEN I call 911.
No kids in the house and it's a bit of a cannon which wifey doesn't like, but then we also have a .22 semi-auto (loaded with hollow-points) on her side as well. (Flanking fire is always welcome.)

Look! A baby Judge! They’re so cute when they’re young!
I really like my full-grown Daddy Judge.

I went to Atwoods today and they had several handguns in the .38 to .45 range. The one that fit my hand the best was The Judge .410/.45, the full size one.
So, as soon as I have enough money saved up to buy one, that’s my choice.
The distance I might need to hit something is about 20 to 25 feet. The Judge will be great at that distance.
