The new Taurus Raging Judge, in 28 gauge, is a direct answer to many firearms owners requests since the release of the now infamous Taurus Judge in .410. With an increase in comparable product offerings from other manufacturers, Taurus decided to raise the ante and move away from the .410 so many had become accustomed to.
After inspection of the firearm at the 2011 SHOT Show, the ATF deemed the firearm to be a NFA regulated firearm.
