I employed the gun-store grade OC, and hit it in the face, blinding it. However, the bastard kept attacking - abet much less effectively.

I know I hit because the OC had orange dye and it was a white dog. No effect. Still carry it but do not rely on it. Animal control office of my acquaintance allowed as his go to weapon was an ASP. Don't even have to hit. Just hold it out and dog bites it and hurts itself.

I don't know what choke your Vang barrel has, but I'll wager it's not cylinder bore. I've long wanted a full choke factory option from Remington on the 870P and Mossberg on the 590s; most shotguns of those configurations are cylinder bore, and every 18-20" cylinder Aliennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8293484.post-18430769794040938042013-10-20T02:59:00.231-06:002013-10-20T02:59:00.231-06:00Michael

I have done extensive tests on the Judge with buckshot and dedicated rounds like the PDX-1, in ballistic gel, penetration through various media and patterning. We showed those results on SHOOTING GALLERY. Based on those results, I have complete faith in the Judge (or Bond Derringer) with Federal #000 and Winchester PDX-1s.
