Ok, I guess I just found an even more rediculous handgun myself. .600 Nitro Express elephant gun round stuffed into a revolver:

A COP. Compact Off duty Police. A .357 magnum, 4 shot derringer with rotating hammer and about a 20 pound trigger pull. I bought one new about 25 years ago and for the most part, it was a safe queen. Hell of a close range persuader, but very heavy as it was solid stainless steel. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn more than about 15 feet away though as the rounds came out in an expanding 4 corner square. If you knew which barrel was going to fire next, you could aim it, but there was no external indicator. I think I paid about $220 for it new, and after it made it's debut in Battlestar Galactica the used value skyrocketed. I had the original metal presentation case as well. I sold it for about triple what I paid for it. |

I have always thought that this was the most ungainly looking pistol ever. Granted a Borchardt is an important milestone in the development of semi auto pistols and the direct precursor to the Luger, but damn it's ugly and ungainly as hell to handle.

I was going to say the Judge, but people beat me to it. It's not such a terrible idea for pests, but the way it's marketed as being "the greatest thing EVAR for self defense" is beyond ridiculous.

I'm surprised by all the hate for the Judge. Just becuase something isn't suiteable for self defense doesn't make it dumb. By that logic any .22 pistol is dumb. I do agree that their ad campaign is misleading, but that doesn't mean that there isn't any use for the gun.

It's not a good shot gun, .45 colt's keyhole out of it, it is heavy for CCW, it's bulky for a carry gun, low capacity, .410 loads for self defense suck and it's a Damn Taurus. There is a better gun than it in any category you want put it in. The ONLY reason it's is popular is it's ad campaign. |

A .22 is practically free to shoot, accurate, recoilless, and can be used for hunting, training, and practice. The Judge is none of those things. |

Judge sold as a SD firearm (judge is a good snakegun, but so is a 50 year old S&W AR-24 (with every industrialized nation producing a CZ-75 varient, is a Turkish one really needed?) CZ Skorpion Some of the weirder AMT and Wildey big-bore guns. Also, .380ACP guns that could EASILY be chambered in full 9mm, but were never adapted to that purpose. (Beretta Cheetah/Browning BDA .380, CZ-83, Walther PPK/S, Bersa Thunder, Sig Sauer P230/232, Colt Pocketlite). Would it be that hard to scale-up the gun 1/8 and reduce mag capacity by one? The Beretta/Browning probably would not have to be scaled-up at all. |

In order to function with high pressure 9mm ammo, they would have to incorporate a locking breech or delay mechanism. |
