Mil Inc Thunder Five--Pre Runner to the Taurus Judge

Description:
I bet some of you thought that the Taurus Judge revolver was an earth-shattering innovation when you first saw it. I mean who couldn’t love a five-shot revolver that could hurl either .410 shotgun shells or .45 Long Colt as fast as you could pull the trigger? Well, the thing is the Judge wasn’t first. The MIL Thunder 5 beat it by more than a decade. But good luck finding one now. Design of the Thunder 5: MIL took a basic double action revolver design with a rifled barrel, added an ambidextrous manual hammer block safety, fixed sights and made it… bigger. Big enough in fact to accommodate a three inch long .410-shotgun shell in the five shot cylinder. This put the gun at over nine inches long even as a snub-nosed revolver. Since the gun used a rifled barrel and not a smoothbore like a shotgun, it was classified as a legal handgun and not an illegal sawn off scattergun. These are extremely rare to find in the secondary market and few were made. This is a early 4 digit serial number. Outstanding home protection piece. If you don't think it's rare run a search on Guns International and see how many you come up with.
