I have the long barrel version. When I got it with the ribber grip, I noticed the middle finger, got up behind the trigger guard. This was very uncomfortable, and made my finger sore after only a few rounds whether I was using 410, or 45 colt. I found a set of Hogue grips for it that filled the section behind the trigger guard, and have never looked back. But it did change my grip on the gun for the better.
It is also easier to load from a soft speed loader "no hard ones were available to me for 5 round of 45" with the hogue grip which was cut back a little more.
410's as all the information tells you spread to beat heck, but from 7 yards in you can make a heck of a mark with #6 or #9 shot. I have not been able to find 000 buck shot locally to try that. I want to but no one has had any in stock.
With either the 45 JHP, or 45 cowboy lead loads the function has been great, and even with the gap between the chamber and the start of the rifling my accuracy has been very good. "after I learned how to use this thing.
I might add, that I was away from shooting for almost 40 years. Now I have THE JUDGE, and the PT111 Pro, boy do those two seem to shoot differently.
