Tars Judge vs Smith & Wesson Governor Let's check it out This was a .410 revolver that also shot .45 Colt It was a great self-defense option, car defense, home defense or for the great outdoors Then in 2011, Smith & Wesson introduced the Governor And this, the same, .410 .45 Colt plus .45 ACP So we're gonna take a look at both of these pistols There are some advantages and there are some disadvantages to both pistols And we're gonna do some testing side by side And just see which one's best for you If you're even in the market for a .410 .45 revolver Before we get to the range evaluation I did want to talk about some of the physical differences between the two pistols Some of the pros, some of the cons, some of the things that are the same with each one First off, they are both a double-action, single-action revolver They both shoot .410 and .45 Colt They're very popular firearms Of course, Tars has been selling the Judge for ten years Which that gives this a large following And because of the following of the Judge It inspired Smith & Wesson to produce their own And that's where the Governor comes from Now there are some big differences One is you have a five-round cylinder compared to a six-round cylinder And with the six-round cylinder Smith & Wesson decided to go with a .45 ACP as well And that's one of the great things about .45 Is you can put them on moon clips And so you have a six-round moon clip You can drop that in With the Tars Judge They do produce five-round moon clips Here you have your five-round moon clips Drop them in Seem to go in nicely But when you go to close the cylinder It just won't close The tolerances are just not there I have seen some different modifications Where people have modified their pistol To be able to accept .45 ACP But Tars does not mention that .45 ACP is OK So for me personally I would stay away from .45 ACP If I was going to do that I would go with the Governor The Smith & Wesson does have a 2.5-inch cylinder So you're going to be able to shoot Your 2.5-inch .410 shells The Judge has a 3-inch cylinder So you're going to be able to shoot The 3-inch shells So that's going to give A little bit more advantage To the Tars Judge Even though they make models That are with the shorter cylinder One of the things too About the shorter cylinder Is that it's going to be thinner You've got a five-round cylinder The thinness here Compared to the thickness here In fact the cylinder is 1.7 inches Almost 1.75 inches While the Tars Judge Is just 1.5 inches So about a quarter of an inch Difference between the two But one of the things I want to talk about The Taurus line of .410 .45 revolvers Is that there are 13 models And there's a lot of variation From 2.5-inch to 6.5-inch barrels They have the 2.5-inch cylinder And the 3 They do have the Public Defender Which is a polymer-framed pistol Now one of the things About this Taurus is It is a steel frame While the Smith & Wesson Is a scandium alloy frame Aluminum alloy So the weight difference Is also going to come into play Your Smith & Wesson is lighter With the all steel And this is all stainless steel Whereas the cylinder and the barrel Are stainless on the Governor The Smith & Wesson Comes in at 30.1 ounces The Taurus Judge 37 ounces So there is quite a bit of difference Between the two Again there are a lot of different models Of the Judge So that's kind of We're just really going With this particular model The front sights are different We have a tritium post On the front of the Governor We have a fiber optic post On the Taurus But the rear sights are the same With a grooved notch The cylinder latches Have just a different style to them One thing to note Is that on the Taurus There is less room When you're going all the way forward It almost butts up right here But it doesn't quite With the Smith & Wesson You have just a little more play here Now while both are large frame revolvers Because of the six rounds That go in the Smith & Wesson It makes it thicker in this area With the Taurus It's a little bit thinner So it just makes it a little more narrow To me a little more pointable In some ways But again it's up to just this model Taurus makes models That are kind of close to this Smith & Wesson does make a model That's in a silver nickel finish But then again with the stainless Cylinder and barrel Both are offered with Crimson trace lasers There's a lot of different Holster options out there for both So there's a lot of different Aftermarket support Because Taurus has been Selling these solo really For about five, six years And then when Smith & Wesson Got on the bandwagon They already saw the success Of the Taurus So Smith & Wesson was able To capitalize on it A little bit of detail Of the trigger pull Here on double action It's a really heavy Double action trigger pull But it's very smooth And very crisp On the Governor Double action trigger pull It's smooth But there's a couple of little hitches Just variations in the pull Very slight But the Taurus is definitely A little smoother With the double action trigger pull Single action trigger pull Not bad It's the weight You can feel the weight On the Governor Single action Man, that is smooth That's just crisp The single action on the Governor Is way superior I would say the double action On the Governor is good But it's not as good as the Taurus But the single action It's without a doubt Smith & Wesson is just better In the single action Double action trigger pull On the Taurus 9 lb 13 oz 9 lb 7 oz 9 lb 10 oz Smith & Wesson Governor 10 lb 7 oz 10 lb 14 oz 10 lb 8.5 oz About 10.5 lb So you have about a 3.25 lb difference Heavier on the Governor Single action trigger pull On the Judge 4 lb 10 oz 5 lb 1 oz 4 lb 12 oz As far as the Governor Single action trigger pull 4 lb 0.1 oz 4 lb 2 oz 4 lb 2.9 oz Much lighter Single action trigger pull Which is going to give you Better accuracy at the range Now we wanted to do A side by side comparison At the range And so I got Rodney From the NC Hill Channel And we're going to do some shooting Just some evaluation of the trigger And just how the gun The ergonomics of the gun How it feels And just some different insight But really this gun Is an aluminum alloy frame Which is the only offering That Smith & Wesson has And then we have the Taurus Judge Which is a steel frame So it's not necessarily Going to be apples to apples But Taurus does offer Their public defender Which is a polymer frame So it's going to be more in line With the alloy frame Of the Smith & Wesson We did a lot of dry firing ahead of time Both in single and double action With the Judge The double action trigger pull Was smoother With the double action I really preferred the Judge Over the Governor Just a little smoother Now with single action The Governor was definitely A better single action trigger pull The Governor breaks a little bit crisper And I like the position Of the trigger when it's in single action Over the Judge Right, so kind of a draw The thing is a lot of times You're firing for more target In single action So that's going to give a big plus For single action But for quick follow-up shots Especially in a self-defense situation You've got a very smooth Double action trigger Not that the Governor did not have A pretty smooth double action trigger Now there's definitely two Totally different style grips on here You have the ribbed version With the Judge You have more of a molded Rubber version With finger grooves I think one of the things That the Taurus does It fits to your hand well And when you push it You can kind of adjust your grip But it has those vents and those fins To kind of move it around With the Smith & Wesson Governor When you grab it It's the same grip every time And it's a great grip So I think it's really more Of a matter of taste Yeah, with the Judge Every time you grip it The way the fins Can either go up or down So as you grip it You may grip it one time And feel one way Grip it different And it feels another It seems to be a beefier grip So somebody with short fingers Or a smaller hand I think the Governor Is more suited for that But they're both excellent grips It's personal preference Yeah, I think that the Smith & Wesson The grip on it is Especially if you have smaller hands It's a big gun But I think you do seem To be able to control it It's a bigger gun But you have the finger grooves And you get a consistent grip every time But I think the cushioning effect The cushion, yeah Is nice on the ribs So, but both of them were I mean, they were very easy to shoot The grips are good for Shooting either one of these But I think it's a different kind of style One thing the Governor does do well Is .45 ACP And we have these moon clips Oh yeah But one thing you can do with the Judge Is fire three-inch .410 shells We're gonna shoot some of this Federal Premium And this is the .410 handgun It's two and a half inch, four pellets And it's a triple-aught buck We're just gonna check the pattern Between the shorter barrel in the Governor And the longer barrel in the Taurus And we're shooting about 15 yards First group with the Governor Four rounds right here What we did ended up shooting high On that first group So we just didn't count it We shot again And so we have here, here, here and here With the three-inch barrel So you can see It's actually a little more spread With the three-inch barrel We're gonna try that again Governor here These three are pretty close Of course that has to do With the ammunition coming out So, and actually that time the Taurus Had a little bit of a better group Not by much But as you can see, just a little bit This is 15 yards So you can see already That it's starting to spread So even up close You're gonna get a little bit of spread Right up front And of course the farther out you go The more spread you're gonna have With the three-inch shells He was still getting pretty much The same group, same type groups I'd say that's about three-and-a-half inches When you say three, three-and-a-half inches There's the difference And here it is coming out the other side I wanted to show this Cause if you're shooting through walls In your home Or shooting around walls It can go right through it Dry wall, just the same Now sight picture is definitely different With the fiber optic on the front of the Judge In daylight shooting It was much easier to pick up It was easier to get on target The sight just glowed in the front And then you had that notch in the back Here with the Judge You have that notch in the back But you have a tritium insert in the front Which it still makes a good contrast Especially with the black But it's not quite as easy to pick up As it was that fiber optic But one thing about that is For night shooting or for self-defense I think that the night, the tritium bead Is actually gonna give you A little more of an advantage But really the sight picture is pretty close I mean you got your notch in the back You got a post at the front Here it's either a night sight Or you have that fiber optic So it's a matter of preference Or what you're gonna use this pistol for If you're in the woods You're on a hike or a hunt And you want something by your side The fiber optic is gonna show up well But low light conditions You're gonna have a little more of an advantage With the tritium bead or tritium post Judge right here Pretty solid groups But again shooting Well this is actually 2 inches high So shooting 2 inches high at 10 yards This was one that I just It shot before I was really ready It was definitely a flyer But even then I mean this one This was all 6 rounds This was 5 Easy to see targets Now one of the great things About either one of these pistols Is just the array of different 410 ammunition Especially designed for the handgun Remington, Federal, Winchester, Hornady I mean they all make really great rounds And then there's a lot of different Just standard 410 loads that are out there I will say that the handgun ammunition Performs better It just performs better than the Just the standard ammunition Because it's designed and formulated For a handgun But with all the different choices Whether it's you know your .45 Colt Your 410, your 3 inch, your 2.5 inch Your .45 ACP There's just a lot of things out there That really lend themselves To a lot of fun And to make both of these revolvers Very versatile Guys I'll tell you Really for home defense Or a self defense option It's a simple gun You just load and pull the trigger You can interchange Your centerfire pistol calibers With the buckshot Or the self defense loads Or whatever you want to use It just is a really versatile gun I really love that it's part of my collection And I've really enjoyed Getting these out and shooting them Are they super practical For every purpose No But do they fit a number of niches Yes Now yes there are a lot of different Holster options out there For me Jackson Leatherworks I really appreciate John's Craftsmanship Bringing in these holsters This is a pocket holster And it works It's just great I love this Or for a pack Or whatever you want to do You can slide this in Here we have a standard And I say standard This is a beautiful leather holster With a basket weave pattern And just for your belt So there's so many different options And ways to go But also having some nice leather For your handgun Always works well And I highly recommend Jackson Leatherworks But one of the big things I want to talk about Is the price You have a Smith & Wesson You know made in the USA You know been in business For 159 years And just known for quality Then you have the Taurus Which is made in Brazil They have been in business For a number For decades themselves And have produced A really good line of reasonable revolvers But the quality of the Smith & Wesson Is superior hands down Even though this Taurus Is very well finished But as far as price goes The Smith & Wesson Runs $869 retail The Taurus Judge Is $700 and 64 cent retail So immediately we have A $169 difference in price But the big thing is The Smith & Wesson Is a little more difficult to find And I found one on Bud's Gun Shop It was $731 The Taurus Judge This model at Bud's Gun Shop Was $462 So you're looking at a Pretty significant price difference Now let's look at the pros and cons Between the two pistols First off we have six rounds With the Smith & Wesson Governor We have five rounds With the Taurus Judge We do have the capability Of shooting .45 ACP Whereas we don't with the Judge But we do have the capability Of three inch shells with the Taurus And only two and a half inch For the Smith & Wesson We do have the scandium alloy frame Which makes it really lightweight Compared to a polymer frame on the Taurus Definitely the scandium is a nicer pistol The weight is really low But then of course we have the Stainless steel, the full size And when going to the range and shooting Especially as a range gun It would be really nice to have that Stainless full size So a little less recoil Than the Smith & Wesson The grips are very different Totally different But yet they both have qualities That are really going to be Personal preference The ribs here They kind of mold to your hand The grip here is consistent Every time you grab it It is a Hogue grip by the way And very well known for quality You have fiber optic versus tritium So more for self defense Night shooting, more for range Or quick target acquisition The single action trigger On the Smith & Wesson is better The double action on the Taurus is smoother The Smith & Wesson Governor Is coming in at 30 ounces Whereas the Taurus is coming in at 37 ounces Yet you can get different models Again, 13 models of the Taurus 2 models of the Smith & Wesson Price is definitely one of the biggest factors Between the two pistols The quality is definitely with the Smith So the price obviously reflects it If you're willing to pay $230 more for the Governor For a higher quality pistol Then I would definitely recommend You buying the Smith This is what I bought first The Smith & Wesson was the first pistol And then because I really enjoyed The Smith & Wesson so much I wanted to see what the Taurus Judge Was all about And guys, I'm telling you I'm just really glad that I've got the Taurus I've really enjoyed shooting it It's two separate feeling guns These are both in the same category But they are two Completely different experiences And I don't know how to explain that But the Taurus Judge is really to me A utilitarian workhorse I wouldn't mind using this as a car gun This actually is my shop Personal defense piece I keep it mounted right in the shop If I ever need it If I'm in the shop And I have some kind of issue This is my self-defense go-to With the Governor This is just, you know If I was going out into the woods If I was going on a hike Or whatever And I wanted something like this I would go with the Governor So, you know There's two different purposes here But again, the price is very large And you have to decide Is the price worth going for A little more quality than the Judge One of the big things About these two pistols too Is they have a limited lifetime Service policy on both of them And I've heard some complaint About the Taurus customer service But I have had experience With Taurus customer service Years ago And it was excellent It was just excellent Smith & Wesson is definitely excellent So, to me You're not going to go wrong With either one As far as having something done If you have a problem With me, both of these pistols Have been nothing but exceptional And I've just totally enjoyed it There are some other reviews out there That compare these two pistols And I encourage you Before you make a choice To go check those out I also have two separate reviews Of each of these And I'll have those linked Down in the description below So whether you're going With the Governor Or you're going with the Judge Both are excellent revolvers Yes, they're limited in their purpose But man, they sure are a lot of fun I want to thank Rodney From the NC Hill channel For coming down Helping me out with the range setup And giving me another set of eyes And some evaluation On his viewpoint Of these two pistols Be strong, be of good courage God bless America Long live the Republic Woo! And... My bestest friend ever At least you didn't call me Robbie Wheaton That's next Beard, left hand, Robbie Yeah, Robbie, Robbie Short Robbie And I want to thank Robbie Wheaton And I want to thank Rodney For coming down And with the... I want to thank Robbie To these two pistols And so, I don't, you know Can I just stop there? For all the hungry kids in Africa Waste not, want not How is it? That's pretty good gallop right there Watch out for the shot I'm trying to hold it non-threatening Right, I don't want to scare nobody Then the... And then the Smith & Wesson Governor And Robbie Wheaton Robbie Wheaton here Robbie Wheaton One thing the Governor does do well Is 45, you can see it on the camera We're going to shoot some of this 410 handgun personal defense From Federal Premium And this has some...
