I own the Judge's granddad - the Thunder Five. Not as refined as the Taurus, but it gets the job done. And it's so heavy the recoil is negligible with .410 000 buck or .45 Colt.
The manufacturer is out of business. They made an even more interesting variant. It was chambered for the .45-70 cartridge. That one probably kicks pretty hard.
My T-5 is a real watermelon and cantaloupe killer. That is fun!!
BTW: The T-5 has a safety lever. Blocks the hammer from reaching the primer, but will foul up the lockwork when the hammer hits the safety... I never use it.
Mr. T-5 is my bedroom gun. Only five shots, but if anything survives five rounds of 000 or .45 Colt, it ain't human. I'm gonna throw the gun at it and run for my life!
