    The 4” Judge has a pattern that will break all the skeet targets on station1, 7 and 8. I will admit that 1 and 7 doubles are a bear.
    It’ll also break the station 2 and 6 incomers.
    Well 1 and 7 are the easiest stations in skeet anyways. 8 is just about being quick.

    A wide pattern makes skeet easy. You want to not even have to try? Get an SBS or shockwave.

    That said a .410 from a handgun is one hell of a handicap

    A too wide - blown out pattern will not be advantageous on a skeet field with a .410. There just isn’t enough payload.
    I’m not a great skeet shooter but I held on to NSSA Class A in .410 for ten years.
    You would have to be Wayne Mays to hit many skeet targets with a shockwave, even in 12 gauge. It’s the belly gun of the shotgun world.
    Have you actually tried it? What was your score?

    I have a Public Defender (2" barrel) that I keep in the nightstand loaded with Winchester PDX1 Defender rounds (Copper discs and bb's). It's a bedroom doorway gun only. Don't want penetration into other bedrooms.

    20-22. I only did like 4 rounds with my shockwave. I had no trouble staying at 23 with a 20" 590a1. I should add my shockwave had a pistol brace at the time.

    Skeet is easy if you know how to game it. A long barrel and tight choke makes it harder

    I have a friend like that too. He keeps it in his boat, just in case.
    I probable shot it more than he has. I only shot 410 shells thru it. It kicks pretty hard but believe I could kill a snake at close range.
    If you are close enough to actually kill a snake with it, you are close enough to get bitten by that snake. Taking one step backwards and whacking it with a stick is more effective and safer.

    I've only fired my shockwave a few times. Most of the ranges I've shot at, wouldn't allow it

    I have owned two. The first was the bobbed hammer model which was a pain in the ass to do anything with. I wanted to give the Judge a chance so I sold that one and bought another and I hated it almost as much. I have several .357 revolvers and I can load snake shot in them if I want to and have a much better revolver than the Judge. Just my opinion.
