This is a Taurus raging judge 28ga revolver prototype, introduced at shot show 2011. The gun was on display for the first half of the show, but seemingly disappeared after a visit from the ATF. Never forget what they took away from you.28-Gauge-Revolver-on-the-Taurus-Catalog-Cover.jpg

I suppose there is no handgun round that can be fired in it so it. We should be able to buy anything we can afford and should be punished severely if we do something stupid with our toys.

In 2007 Taurus brought out a .223 Remington revolver. It also made it to Shot Show, but disappeared after that.

diameter/bore too large for a handgun.

that's a thing? How big is too big? (TWSS)

I was going to guess that they didn't rifle the bore and made a SBS or AOW or something.

Assumptions
-you play by the king's (ATF) rules
-Its not registered as an SBS
-I'm not 100% but pretty close


ATF rules relating to this gun would be
-Shotguns (smooth bores) capable of accepting a modern fully contained shot shell (primer, smokless powder, shot together) must be at least 18.5" long. This gun with a 6" barrel would fail if it was a smooth bore and would suck if rifled like the .410 does. Slings the shot all over.
-If it was a handgun with a rifled bore (this is how the .410 gets by) than the diameter/bore can be no larger than 0.50" and I think 28g is around 0.55".

So if they were to make it I think it could only be done so to register it with the NFA from the get go.

found it:

26 U.S. Code Ā§ā€Æ5845.(f) Destructive device: (2) any type of weapon by whatever name known which will, or which may be readily converted to, expel a projectile by the action of an explosive or other propellant, the barrel or barrels of which have a bore of more than one-half inch in diameter, except a shotgun or shotgun shell which the Secretary finds is generally recognized as particularly suitable for sporting purposes​


so it's either a shotgun, and too short, or it's a DD.

too bad - that thing is cool in a totally impractical way.

It would make a great snake gun, or just a really fun gun to shoot clays with
 
If only they had found some way to pair it with something that could be a "sporting exempted" pistol round...

Heck, who would have cared if it was commonly available, so long as it worked with the 28ga shells.

Heck I wonder if a tapered bore could have worked... taper from 28ga bore diameter to juuuust .50 cal. Make a "revolver round" to go with it (the .50-55 Tauri perhaps!) That shoots a round ball....or rifled slug type deal.

Iā€™m sure people have tried with the .410 judge. I may have to YouTube that.

I took a 6 inch Judge and went 1 inch forward of the forcing cone and stripped out all lands and grooves and then polished it mirror bright. It's a decades old system called The Paradox System...yep....hand thrown clays had NO chance!

Then you have the Mossberg Shockwave and Remingtons versions.

Sounds pretty neat. So if I understand correctly the only rifled part is the 1" beyond the forcing cone?
