Winchester Ammunition announced two new loads for the Taurus Judge revolvers: one a .45 Colt load and the other a .410 shot shell load.
Both new loadings are marketed under the Winchester Supreme Elite PDX1 line. The .45 Colt cartridge has a 225 grain bonded jacket hollow point that was specifically designed for the Judge.
The new .410 shell has three plated “Defense Disc” projectiles and 12 plated BB’s. The shot shells are reduced recoil loads. Like the .45 Colt above, these .410 shells were designed for the Taurus Judge.
Winchester Ammunition stated both new loads should be available in February of 2010.
The Taurus Judge line of revolvers have been a smash hit for the company, and ammunition companies have been working on loads to meet consumer demands for these revolvers. Federal introduced .410 ammo for the Judge at the 2009 SHOT Show.

Introducing the Rear Sight Laser (RSL) – A ground-breaking new laser design incorporated into the rear sight. Compact size and revolutionary performance make the new RSL the most extraordinary system LaserLyte has ever produced. Easy-to-install and easy-to-operate, the new RSL offers a high-power laser with the benefit of not having to replace existing grips, internal stock parts or holsters.
The RSL fits all Springfield Amory XD/XDM pistols and is constructed from MIM 4650, nickel enriched high carbon steel, the same material used for most heavy-duty gun parts such as iron sights, hammers and levers. It is also black oxide, bead blasted for a non-reflective finish. When mounted onto the pistol the RSL will fit all Level 1 and 2 holsters. Powered by four 377 batteries, commonly used in watches, that provide one hour of run time on constant on and two hours in pulse mode. LaserLyte also offers discounted batteries. Rear Sight Lasers for additional pistol models will be introduced later this year.
