Ultimately, the firearm never made it into production and no official statement was made by Taurus about it again. On March 27, 2011, Taurus International President and CEO Bob Morrison stated on the Gun Talk radio show that the Taurus Raging Judge XXVIII was still under development. However, American Rifleman reported that Taurus invited the ATF to a meeting to discuss the revolver, and no ATF determination was made at that time.

However, rumors began to quickly circulate during the show that the US' Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) seized the prototype guns due to an initial finding that the guns were actually short-barreled shotguns, and therefore illegal. The cylinder used a double lock-up similar to the Raging Judge chambered in. The 67 ounce revolver held five shells in the cylinder and had a 6.5" barrel. In 2011 at SHOT Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, Taurus introduced the Raging Judge XXVIII chambered for 28 gauge shot shells. In 2010 Taurus introduced the Raging Judge which is chambered for.

Taurus is positioning the Public Defender series as a concealed carry piece. As with the original Judge, these shoot five rounds of either. These have been labeled the Public Defender series and are based on the Taurus Model 85 frame. Īt the Shooting, Hunting, Outdoor Trade Show in January 2009, Taurus introduced several new models of the Judge. Crimson Trace laser grips are available for standard models of this firearm. As of December 2008, spur-less hammers remain available with all short-barrel lengths of The Judge. Felt recoil can be significant with the Ultra-Lite series, due to its light weight, especially with. The 3" barrel model also comes in two weight classes, the standard steel construction (29 oz currently, 36 oz previously) and alloy-based "Ultra-Lite" (22 oz currently, 24 oz previously). The Judge, a derivative of the Taurus Tracker, comes in three barrel lengths (3", 4" and 6.5" - Tracker), two cylinder lengths (2.5" and 3"), and two finishes (blued and stainless steel). Taurus Public Defender revolver, detailing the shortened hammer and snub-nose barrel However, the Judge is considered a short-barreled shotgun under California state law, which has a broader definition of "short-barreled shotgun," and the Judge is thus illegal to possess in that state. Though Taurus deliberately designed the Judge to fire shotshells, the Judge does not qualify as a "short-barreled shotgun" under the National Firearms Act of 1934 as its rifled barrel makes it a regular handgun. Taurus developed the shallow rifling after numerous experiments to find rifling that worked well with both types of ammunition.

The rifling is shallower than normal, giving single-projectile loads less stabilization than they would receive in other handguns while reducing the rapid dispersion of the shot from shotshells. Taurus International reports that the Judge is their top-selling firearm. It got its name "The Judge" in 2006 when Bob Morrison, Executive Vice President, learned that judges in high-crime areas of Miami, Florida, were purchasing the revolver for personal defense in their courtrooms, and after Morrison investigated further, the model designation was changed from 4410 to 4510 to more accurately reflect the revolver's versatility (.45 Colt + 410 shot → "4510"). Both model numbers are essentially the same revolver, and any 4410 or 4510 will yield basically the same performance. There have been two model number designations for this firearm, the 4410 (no longer produced) and the 4510 (current). Taurus Judge 'Magnum' edition, shown to scale with a US quarter.
