So...
If the video was longer; who would be shooting the following firearms?
-High Point chambered in .45 ACP
-Taurus Judge
-Ruger 10/22 (but only with the factory 10 round rotary magazine)
-A Remington Model 1897 (but manufactured by Norinco)

It seems we have a comedian in our midst! I own a 10/22 and only have the factory rotary magazine. You wanna tell me your joke? :munchin:D

Ahha! We've found the Catholic! :D
Ahha! We've found the Catholic! :D
My guess is Roman Catholic...
...an Irish Catholic would be rocking the high capacity magazines

LOL, the 10/22 was a good starter rifle for the kids when they were little. Or at least that was the thinking. I also used it to shoot rats under my house before we got them under control lol.
Kidding aside, the 10/22 is a great starter and a lifetime plinker!
Appropriate for Catholics of all ages... :p
I also used it to shoot rats...
Sooooo...
a Pied Piper of sorts.
From Hamelin...
...where over 50% of the population is Protestant?
So:
I would deduce that Ruger 10/22 with factory magazines is a Protestant firearm.
To keep the conversation moving, I would suggest that a High Point chambered in .45 ACP is the choice of an atheist.
Only an atheist would dare chamber something as perverse and ungodly as a High Point to accept the Lords Caliber.
Moving on...

Bravo!

Universalists would use the Taurus Judge.
Whether it be by .410 shot shell or .45 Colt cartridge, they believe there’s more than one way to send you to heaven.

Well…
I'm not going to disagree with you out of pocket - but I will say, I think there needs to be more discussion before I am convinced. The Judge started as a five shot snub nosed revolver that shoots an under-powered and outdated pistol cartridge and an equally under-powered and hilariously obscure shot gun round. It is sort of like a sarcastic joke gun - it’s a gun, so God Bless the Second Amendment, a weird multi caliber bulky revolver with a fancy fiber optic front site but no discernible rear site beyond that of an old school notch milled into the top of the receiver. While it is true that the bullet size is the Lords Caliber, it is not .45 ACP. The .45 Colt may have won the west, but .45 ACP won two world wars. The .45 colt was also designed as a black powder cartridge and even though it has nearly twice the case capacity (nearly) the .45 ACP still produced slightly more kinetic energy.
It's more of an ironic take on what a gun should look like.
It’s possible that there are millions, maybe even hundreds of people worldwide that have placed their faith in the Taurus Judge when it come to personal defense and the security of their loved ones.
It seems to me like the creation of 'The Judge' had some sort of mythical roots. Like an invisible and undetectable but exquisitely talented firearms designer created this revolver after a weekend of binge drinking. The designer’s intoxicated state was the cause of such a flawed yet flawless design. It’s reliability is without question. The ability to fire a .410 bore shotgun shell is almost completely useless against a bird on the wing at 25 yards and in many cases is dismissed as completely ineffective for personal protection. On the other hand, if it is pressed into service during a gunfight in a public telephone booth, it is almost guaranteed to cause permanent hearing damage.
It was designed as a snub nose – but the concealability is laughable. When using the Taurus Judge, “drawing from concealment” actually means “removing the gun from your nightstand” but that doesn’t matter. I believe the intersection of religious denomination and support of the 2nd Amendment does not require literal belief in any one firearm in order to provide the average gun enthusiast with some degree of spiritual enlightenment. Much of the transcendent experience of religion and enthusiasm in supporting the 2nd Amendment can be attributed to the community. If you hang around ‘3-Gunners’ you may find that you believe more in ‘Glock Perfection’ than someone who does a lot of Cowboy Action Shooting that still romanticizes the old black powder driven ’45 Long Colt’ of the Victorian Era.
That is to say, you don’t have to look upon the Taurus Judge as a “real” firearm to be a supporter of the 2nd amendment, nor do you have to accept the dogma that other gun fan-boyz may try to perpetuate. The fact is, the only dogma recognized by true gun enthusiast is the rejection of dogma related to gun enthusiasm. Some gun enthusiasts are fully indoctrinated True Believers, many are not. There are many levels of belief in our constitutional right to keep and bear arms and none are any more of or any less legitimate than the other. True believers go to the range every weekend to practice their faith in the fundamentals of marksmanship but all are welcome - Drunks, Liars, Fornicators, Thieves, Murderers, Witches, and even some democrats have been seen in the company of ‘The Judge’ and the end result is always the same…
…shall not be infringed.
Now, to many of you, this post may look like nothing more than the mindless, incoherent ramblings of a madman. To others, it will be quite obvious that this is just the mindless, incoherent ramblings of a madman. To those of you that know the “real” Box, you know the truth – this post is undeniably the mindless, incoherent ramblings of a madman rooted in western esotericism.
…but for the enlightened, that select few that can read between the lines, you will recognize that many of these mindless ramblings can be found in the teachings of the Church of the flying Spaghetti Monster.
What I’m trying to say is the Taurus Judge is a firearm most likely used by Pastafarians.
Pastafarianism and the church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is satire. It is a satire of disorganized hypocritical religious dogma. Just like a Taurus Judge is a satire of a real firearm.
Taurus Judge owners are like Pastafarians – that’s what I’m saying.

The Judge...If I may pose a secular question: Is the Judge built sufficiently strong to take 45 Colt loads that a Ruger can (e.g., Blackhawk, my favorite being the Bisley)?

No.
It is not.
There is a "magnum version" that can shoot the .454 Casull Magnum as well as the .45 Colt and .410 bore shotshell (yes, it is .410 bore it is NOT a .410 guage).
...but why?
Instead of such frivolous pursuits, just buy a Ruger.
Or a Smith and Wesson 629
Or even a Colt Anaconda
But does anyone REALLY want to buy a Taurus Judge?
Did anyone really WANT to buy a 4-door Datsun B-210 ??
Of course not.
The original MSRP of a Datsun B-210 was about $2,619 in 1974.
That's not even enough money to buy a Super Jägare from the Kimber Custom shop...
...and you can't even shoot Hamas in the face with a B-210 but somehow over 2 million of these crappy little turd cars were sold - it makes no sense - much like why people buy the Taurus Judge - it makes no sense
But Pastafarians are an odd group - and if they still want to buy a Taurus Judge, so be it.

Thanks for answering. I know someone who has one & expressed some interest in the same handloads that go thru the aforementioned stainless Bisley. I'll tell him to keep using his poofy loads.
Those that own a Taurus Judge also own Datsun B-210s.

To be serious for just a moment - It is only my opinion but loading .45 Colt to ‘Magnum Style’ pressure is courting disaster in just about any revolver. - again - just my opinion.
If somebody is really craving for the taste of heavy recoil from a 45 caliber revolver, just buy a .454 Casull Magnum and shoot .45 colt from it when your hand gets tired.
Revolvers don’t fuck around when they give up the ghost – even low pressure cowboy guns will blow up when you piss them off by pushing the SAAMI limits.

It's sad that the sales of cars and guns are negotiated by the double tongues. There is iron in your critique of the Datsun and the Taurus for all posters to see. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from the gun store and the car dealership. The words of Box carries the same iron of guns and cars. It is good that posters such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death from poor gunsmithing and shitty automobiles...
It shall be life.

That's true. I ain't promising nothing extra. I'm just giving up my hard earned cash and the salesman is giving me a fair deal on cars and guns.
And I'm saying that men can live together without their revolvers blowing up in their hand, or their car throwing a rod on the '405 during rush hour...
I stand amused and amazed! I humbly tip my hat to you sir.

Revolvers don’t fuck around when they give up the ghost – even low pressure cowboy guns will blow up when you piss them off by pushing the SAAMI limits.For what it's worth, I don't condone exceeding limits, especially in revolvers, although I've pushed a 180gr Nosler through a 30-06 a bit faster than they'd want to hear about. My reference is to so-called Cowboy loads, vs. something like my usual 18.5gr of 2400 with a 255-260gr hard-cast ("Keith") semi-wadcutter. It's pleasant out of a Ruger SS Bisley Blackhawk. (Tweaking of a Speer load IIRC.) I've also had a couple of the Italian SAA clones and would never let them near that ammo.
