About the Taurus 513 Raging Judge

The Taurus 513 Raging Judge is a large-frame revolver chambered in .454 Casull, manufactured by Taurus since 2010. Produced at Taurus's modern manufacturing facilities in São Leopoldo, Brazil and their American operations in Bainbridge, Georgia, this firearm reflects Taurus's commitment to delivering reliable firearms at competitive price points. The 6-round cylinder provides an extra round compared to revolvers of this size class, a meaningful advantage in defensive situations. The 6.5-inch barrel provides excellent accuracy potential for target shooting and hunting. At 2070g (73.0 oz) unloaded, this firearm provides a solid shooting platform that helps manage recoil during extended range sessions. Taurus has positioned this model as a high-value option in the competitive handgun market, offering features and reliability that punch above its price point, making it particularly appealing to first-time gun owners and experienced shooters seeking a reliable secondary firearm.

The Judge became a cultural phenomenon after its introduction, with its ability to fire .410 shotshells making it one of the most controversial and discussed handguns of the 21st century.
