The
Tarus Judge What a name! It's based on the fact that
many judges are now carrying it into the courtroom with them -
and for good reason. We know of no better self-defense firearm.
Whether loading all 45s - all .410s or alternating them in the
cylinder, the Judge is the ultimate shotgun/revolver duo. New
for 2008, we're giving you the Judge in Ultra-Lite forged alloy.
You'll also be amazed how light this gun is and how easy it is
to tote around. Also new is the Judge 3" Magnum. Larger and
more powerful, this Judge gives you the extra firepower you need
when you have to lay down the law.
History
of Taurus Forjas Taurus S/A (Taurus Forge) is a manufacturing
conglomerate based in Porto Alegre, Brazil. Beginning as a tool
and die manufacturer, the company now consists of divisions focusing
on firearms, metals manufacturing, plastics, body armor, helmets,
and civil construction. Taurus produced its first revolver, the
Model 38101SO, in 1941 and began exporting its revolvers to the
U.S. market in 1968 through a series of importers.
In
1970, the Bangor Punta Corporation, then the parent company of
Smith & Wesson, purchased 54 percent of Forjas Taurus, allowing
the two firearms manufacturers to easily share information regarding
design and manufacturing. In 1977, Taurus was purchased from Bangor
Punta by its current owners, and its ties to Smith & Wesson
were severed.
In
1980, after Italian arms manufacturer Beretta had completed its
contracts to produce firearms for Brazil's military, Taurus purchased
Beretta's São Paulo manufacturing plant along with the
tooling, technical drawings, and work force necessary to produce
several different pistol designs.
In
order to more effectively tap the U.S. market, the company created
a subsidiary, Taurus International Manufacturing Incorporated,
also known as Taurus USA, in 1984. |
