I have had it for a couple months and taken it to the range a couple of times ;) and man do I love this pistol.
They cut it to 106mm (actually I think it is 108 so that the writing on the barrel still worked) which makes it very nice to handle and it is still as accurate as me and shooting 410 out of a pistol is just fun. Here are some photos of it and I know their plan was to make more so start bugging them :p.

how much did it cost you? i didn't see it listed on their site. it looks very intriguing.
 
Interesting...
410 & 45 Long Colt. Although Taurus name does not instill confidence in me this does intrigue me enough that I might consider buying 1. Have you tried firing it yet?

exactly - toss in random rounds (some .410 and some 45LC), spin the cylinder, and have at it! i'd buy one if the price wasn't silly.

now i wonder if it would be IDPA-legal..... :rolleyes: :D
 
I have fired it and it works great. 45 colt is accurate and the 410 is fun with a good spread. The cut cost around $250 and the pistol was around $650. There was nothing wrong with the original barrel but I have a pretty good short barrel collection and thought I would pay the extra for the short barrel.

Yep nothing wrong with it as far as I can tell. The only bad thing I keep hearing about Taurus is the nightmare for parts or customer service but I live in Canada, I am used to that. I read a bunch of reviews of the gun and they did not rate the gun low for function but they just thought that the penetration was not good enough to be deadly to an intruder, once again I live in Canada so don't care it kills paper just fine.

I thougth cutting any restricted barrel would turn that gun into a prohib? No? Yes? In another thread in the red rifles forum we are disscussing cutting a vz 16" barrel to a 10" and people are tellling me that it would then be considered a prohib once the cfo learns about the barrel reduction. If you didn't let the cfo know about the change then that would make your pistol illegal.

Wrong, cutting a rifle or shotgun barell will effect the outcome, IE semi auto SG must be min 18.5 inches. Pump you can down to 18 i think.
Pistol can go as short a allowed per class of firearm. 4.2 inches i think. 107ish mm's. for restricted.

Okay so I wanna cut my restricted vz 58 barrel to 10", can I do this?

Sorry I know this is off topic but this is my last question

No.

There is a difference between rifles and handguns. Rifle barrels cannot be cut below 18" (18.5" for semi auto). Handgun barrels can be cut to 106 mm.

Regarding the Judge, they are a neat revolver. We've sold quite a few of them and most people seem very happy with them. Before anyone asks, we will have them again at some point but there is no eta now and I don't expect them in the near future.

That looks great with the chopped barrel!
 
is the VZ58 prohib? it "looks" like an AK-47 which over here is enough to make it prohib, isn't it?
