The Judge. It's a gimmicky gun but I might be fun to play around with.

To not turn this into only a discussion of the Judge, and 45/410 format, search the forum for all the various Judge threads. See the facts on accuracy, and performance proving it is much more than a fun range toy. 
OP, please let us in on how we too can have an opportunity to get a free Taurus!

Probably a 4" Model 66 in stainless. After several years of reading of Taurus owners opinions I think it is model that has received the highest praise for reliabilty, accuracy and fit. They have gotten quite pricey over the years. I bought a 6" Model 66 for about half of what they are going for now.

OK, in that case, Raging Bull 454 SS5M.

Since it's free.....
Since it's free, I'll pick this one and use the money I saved to pay the orthopedic surgeon for realigning my wrists. http://www.gunsamerica.com/blog/the-taurus-raging-judge-28-gauge-revolver/

Except for the fact that the article is four years old, and the editors note was completely bogus resulting in it never being produced.
But what the heck, we're just dreaming anyway. Who's gonna give us a free Taurus.

Did not note the date and production parameters initially set by OP to participate in this thread. Rain on parades much?

Taurus revolvers are CRAP, but the autoloaders seem to work well. I was the gun room manager for Sportsman's Warehouse for five years, and I sent back more Taurus revolvers for warranty service than everything else we sold COMBINED. I can only recall TWO autos that went back; one for a stuck sight screw no one could get out, and... I don't recall the problem with the other one right off.
The Taurus Judge was absolutely the crappiest crap of all.

Classic!
All kidding aside this is opposite my limited experience. I had a model 99 that broke more than once. Taurus fixed it the second time and I sold it promptly. I had a ragging bull, 44 and 2inch 38 snub that worked fine, but when I went looking for a .22lr revolver none of the local shops would sell me one. They were sick of sending them back.

It could be a sales promotion - Ruger does it now and then; the sales staff earns points toward a free Ruger by selling Rugers. It could also be an exchange for a discontinued model or one that their lifetime warranty can't repair. For instance, they finally gave up on trying to make the Thunderbolt pump rifle work and will exchange it for another Taurus firearm. Not "free" exactly, in either case, as you would likely have had to purchase the original firearm somewhere along the way.
