Question

in the tv show Flashpoint, the 3rd episode "line of fire", the drug dealer uses a hand gun with a "street name" of the jury. Its a five shot revolver around a shotgun barrel. Just looking for its real name.

Sounds like the "Judge," a Taurus revolver made to fire either the .45 (Long) Colt revolver round or the .410 shotgun round.

Answer 5

do you mean,  the taurus m410 " the judge" .410/.45lc

Answer 6

Typically juvenile Hollywood rewording of an existing gun

The gun in real life is called The Judge  and is made by Taurus

It is a 45 caliber five shot revolver with an extended cylinder to accommodate .410 shot shells

A gimmick gun that has been tried before and just ripe for the ignorant Hollywood anti gun crowd to jump on

Answer 7

When you say "revolver around a shotgun barrel", it reads like you mean a revolving cylinder whose axle is a shotgun barrel.

The only gun I have ever heard of which uses a shotgun barrel as the axle for a revolving cylinder is the LeMat "Grape Shot Revolver", invented by Dr. Jean LeMat of New Orleans in 1856.  It was a 9 shot .42 caliber cap-and-ball on which the cylinder revolved around a 16 gauge shot gun barrel.  It was considered excellent armament for horse soldiers and was fielded by the Confederacy in the War of Southern Secession.

The Pietta company of Brescia, Italy has manufactured modern reproductions of the LeMat revolver since 1985.  It is imported into the US by three or four companies.  Because it is a muzzle loading firearm with a percussion cap ignition system, it is exempt from the National Firearms Act (NFA).

Any modern cartridge-based version of the LeMat would fall under the NFA and require the tax stamp for a short-barreled shotgun. AFAIK, no company is building a firearm like the LeMat for modern cartridges.  

The Taurus "Judge" is a normal revolver that happens to have a long enough cylinder to accept 45 Colt cartridges and short .410 shotshells.  It may be the gun in the show.  Here is a video about it:
