I checked out the Public Defender...Pretty much what I desire to have in easy reach...Coyote would have a bad night....
I saw a while back Taurus was making the Judge in 20 gauge....Snap!!!!
What's the recoil like with a 410 load ???? I have a Ruger Vaquero in 45LC that I feed Hornadys....Lotta fire out the muzzle around the crack of dark!!!! I suspect a hot 410 would compare somewhat recoil wise...
The Taurus Public Defender has a 2 inch barrel. As a result they are good for personal protection or close range snake shooting. That's about it. Unless that coyote is sitting on your foot its unlikely that you'd hit it. Longer barrels generally mean longer range and better accuracy.
A hot .410 on the Judge will pull back a bit, but for me at least, its really not too bad.
A 20 gauge handgun? You can have it. If my plan was to open up my forehead with a handgun I'd just go ahead and spend some bucks and get a nice, little SW X-Frame, 7.5 inch barrel with a 600 grain 50mm and be done with it. That would open a guys skull easily and enable others to see the contents .... if any.
To my way of thinking a handgun is a handy thing to have while I'm on my way to get my rifle.
LOL, I keep coming back to this and editing it.
I wanted to tell you,
buy NEW shotgun shells. If you are reloading brass that is okay. But don't reload shells. Too dangerous as in death.
