Check the box. The proper name is .45 Colt. I haven’t figured out why the “long” is necessary.
The Judge is probably a fine gun for being out in snake country but I would never think to use the shotshells for self defense against two legged predators. It also doesn’t seem to make sense to use the .45 Colt shotshells in a gun that was specifically designed to handle .410’s.
It is a close range in home defense. It is also good if might shoot into the home next to you. I put two of the shot in the first chambers. Then the next three are 45 hollow point.
can it be used for self defense? and is that ammo available in .45 auto and 9mm?
