You think that's bad, I've just discovered that they make a version called the Public Defender (seriously, guys, you'll do one called The Stenographer next) that has a polymer frame. Admittedly it does have a shorter cylinder, one that will only take 2½-inch .410 shells as opposed to the three-inchers the full-size The Judge can fit, but still. And a 2-inch barrel. Yeah, that must be a real treat for the hand.
