A large [[revolver]] manufactured by the Brazilian firearms company Taurus International since 2006. The Judge is visually distinctive thanks to its unusually long cylinder, which enables the weapon to chamber both .45 Colt ammunition and .410-bore shotshells (which have the same case head dimensions). A carbine version, the [b]Circuit Judge[/b], is also offered in partnership with another Brazilian arms manufacturer, Rossi.

[[Smith & Wesson]] introduced a virtually identical handgun, the [b]Governor[/b], in 2011.
