Ok, it is silly but?
How the heck do these companies measure a gun! Especially when they list them on the web site.
Taurus says my 6.5 inch barreled Judge is 9.5 inches long. OK, the darn thing is almost 13 inches long.
The three inch judge is supposedly 7.5 inches long, with 3.5 inches less barrel than mine. Obviously there is a tremendous description error some where, as the math there, would make the 3 inch gun, be only 4 inches from the forcing cone to the end of the grip. It ain't possible.
I know for sure my barrel from Forcing cone to tip is 6.5", The cylinder is about 2.75 inches long, and that makes 9.25 inches, with no grip, or hammer area. I cannot see a .25 inch grip and hammer. Somebody screwed up with a ruler somewhere!!
Of course I still love the big darn thing, and it shoots like a tack driver out to what I have shot which is about 15 yards.
The other way is my Rossi, 2" 357. The barrel is actually 2.25, but the gun total length is exactly 6.5 inches as advertised.
The reason for this silly post, is if your trying to get someone to make like a holster for the thing, and you give them the advertised dimensions your gonna have a serious holstering problem when you get it, whereas the Rossi would be an accurate fit.
Ok so I rambled on and answered most of my question. (THEY DO NOT KNOW HOW TO MEASURE A GUN, OR DO NOT GIVE A DARN) But after thinking about this will probably measure out my PT111, and my Heritage 22/22mag single action just to see.
