hate to argue with you, but The Judge is a superior weapon for close range, guess what...if you are using any pistol for long range you are most likely going to lose anyway. But most times when a pistol is appropriate the target is within twenty to thirty feet. The Judge is ideal for this kind of range. I have heard not one person who has shot them complain about the .45 not being accurate. The .410 is a fantastic anti personal weapon for taking the fight out of an adversary. One does not have to be a crack shot with it to do damage.
