I hope to take it out soon.
By the way, you didn't mention what caliber the gun was that you sent back to Taurus.
Raging Judge(R) 513 45 Colt / 454 Casull / 410 GA Matte Stainless 3 in.

It was a Raging Bull 44-magnum 8". Cylinder had a problem locking up. I collect vintage firearms and was disappointed with what happened with Taurus. I intend to likely get the 460 and try it. If I dislike it, I can sell it at the numerous local gunshows and get another Raging Bull from the second-hand market. I have a preference for 44-magnum classic revolvers as evident by the S&W 29-2 and 1970's Colt Anaconda I have. I like Taurus Raging Bulls insomuch as they are iconic. I've owned a number of Taurus revolvers, the 44 Raging Bull 8" was the first that ever monkeyed up on me.
The Judge series of revolvers are really cool, but I consider them working man's guns. Guys that work remotely in the field on power, gas, and telecommunication lines. They never know what they'll run across from a rattlesnake, to an angry wild pig, to a rabid coyote. Three rat-shot and two slugs will usually fill the bill.
