Mainexecutive Grade Judge

In 2022, Taurus announced its first launch in the Executive Grade line. Taking the .38 Special 856 revolver, Taurus added custom touches that include presentation-grade grips, a hand-fitted action, and practical enhancements for everyday carry.

Now the Judge is receiving those very same Executive Grade upgrades. The five-shot Taurus Judge Executive Grade features the same hand-fitted action as the previous 856 but is capable of firing the potent .410-bore shotshell as well as the beloved .45 Colt round. Accuracy with .45 Colt rounds is enhanced as well, and during testing, the new Judge Executive Grade successfully engaged targets out to 100 yards. This means the Judge can now handle backcountry protection, while also reaching out to touch dangerous game at long range.

The Executive Grade treatment on the Judge also includes a first-of-its-kind brass bar front sight, to provide contrast while maintaining the ability for rapid target acquisition.
