2016 is the 10th anniversary of the Taurus Judge. The five-shot wheelgun fires .45 Colt/.410-bore shotshells. The versatile wheelgun created a whole new category of firearm upon introduction, and over the past decade Taurus has thoroughly expanded the Judge's attributes to several different platforms.
