When I was still working at the gun shop. "Judges" were impossible to find and everybody that came through the door wanted one. We finally found one, and when it came in we were looking it over. I had an thought after looking at it. Went over and got a box of .444 Marlin ammo, took out a round and tried it in one of the chambers. It fit like it was made for it.

I've been waiting to here about one of the "Hold My Beer, and Watch This!" crowd blowing body parts off after they figure this out.

We contacted the Taurus USA and told them about it, but haven't heard if they ever altered it to prevent the chambering of a .444 Marlin cartridge. Can you say Hand Grenade?
