The Taurus Judge Public Defender is a compact revolver chambered in .45 Colt/.410 Bore with a 2″ barrel, 7.65″ overall length, 5-round capacity, and Flat Dark Earth finish. This revolver features a lightweight polymer body frame with updates for improved handling and accuracy, making it a scaled-down version that delivers the same devastating power as the Judge in a size that’s easy to carry.
The Public Defender features a reduced profile hammer, an extended ejector rod, a ribbed grip, the Taurus Security System transfer bar, and a red fiber optic fixed front sight. The integral Transfer Bar Safety mechanism ensures the hammer cannot contact the firing pin unless the trigger is completely pulled, providing protection against accidental discharge from drops or impacts. Fiber Optic Sights provide a bright, high-contrast sight picture that is quick to acquire in low-light conditions—a significant advantage in high-stress defensive scenarios.
This revolver is capable of chambering both .45 Colt and .410 shotshell, making it a five-shot game changer. The Public Defender gives you the ability to fire your choice of ammunition in a size that fits in most pockets, with a lighter polymer body frame and improved handling. Whether for home defense, concealed carry, or personal protection, the Taurus Public Defender Polymer FDE combines versatility, compact design, and reliable stopping power.
