Taurus Judge Executive Grade

Taurus is raising the bar in 2023 with a series of introductions under the company's “Executive Grade” banner, and one such model is sure to impress. Meet the all-new Taurus USA Judge Executive Grade. Inspired by the company’s best-selling Model 856 wheelgun, the new Judge Executive Grade comes with custom touches throughout, including presentation-grade Altamont walnut stocks and a hand-fit action, and the gun is chambered for .45 Colt/.410 bore that makes for an everyday carry gun to be proud of.

The Taurus Judge Executive Grade comes in-the-white with a hand-polished frame, barrel and cylinder assemblies that feature a low-glare satin finish. Like its Model 856 progenitor, you’ll get that EDC-ready DA/SA action. The gun’s left-side mounted, swing-out cylinder will come fluted and bored for a five-round capacity. You’ll find Taurus included a knurled ejector rod for quick reloading.
