You can't compare a handgun power to a shotgun power
the judge is not a good choice for SD/HD...the ballistics are pretty awful from what I've read. :
You have an excellent point, the shotgun has plenty of ammo optionsI also love all the kinds of load you have for a shotgun.
You dont have that for a handgun.
You have everything from birdshot to 00 buckshot, slugs, bean bags and other non-lethal ammo and whatnot.
It's also a better club once empty, compared to a handgun.You have an excellent point, the shotgun has plenty of ammo options
The idea of firing "shot", at close range, is superior to firing a bullet - unless you have an automatic and don't have to worry about the bullet blowing through walls and hitting anyone else. The brutal wounds that a shotgun will deliver is devistating.Once & for all, a ye or ne for the shotgun as home defense

and i wouldn't bet my life on a perp being scared of a noise.
Based on a show I saw on HD weapons, they tested a wide variety of weapons, cals, and shotshells, a Judge with 410 Remington Self Defense cartridges came out on top in shooting ballistic jell by a long "shot". Taking over penetration into account as well.
