Some revolvers do one thing well. The Governor does three. Load the six-shot cylinder with .45 Colt, .45 ACP on the included moon clips, or 2.5 inch .410 shotshells, and mix them however the situation calls for. A lot of folks stagger a .410 defense load or two ahead of .45 Colt, and this wheelgun handles that without complaint. It runs single or double action, so you can stage the hammer for careful shots or just press through the trigger when it counts.
A gun that swallows .410 shells needs a stretched cylinder, and that usually means weight. Smith & Wesson got around it with a heat-treated scandium alloy frame paired with a stainless PVD cylinder, bringing the whole package in at 29.6 ounces with an 8.5 inch overall length. That is genuinely light for what this revolver does, and the 2.75 inch barrel keeps it manageable for carry, nightstand duty, or riding along on the trail. The synthetic grip wraps material over the backstrap to soak up recoil, which you will appreciate with the stouter loads.
Up front sits a dovetailed tritium night sight over a fixed rear, a smart pairing for a revolver that will likely earn its keep in low light. Snake duty around the property, a truck gun, home defense, or just a fun range piece that keeps ammo options open, the Governor covers a lot of ground for one gun.
Each one comes packaged with two 6-round moon clips and three 2-round moon clips for running .45 ACP, so you are set for full cylinders or mixed loads right out of the box. Coming from the company that has been building revolvers longer than just about anyone, the fit and finish here is what you would expect from Smith & Wesson, and it shows the moment you cycle the action.
Yes. The cylinder is cut to accept .45 Colt, 2.5 inch .410 shotshells, and .45 ACP in any combination. The .45 ACP rounds require the included moon clips since the rimless case needs them for proper headspacing and extraction, while .45 Colt and .410 shells drop right in.
No, the cylinder is sized for 2.5 inch .410 shotshells only. Stick with 2.5 inch loads, and consider purpose-built .410 defense rounds like Winchester PDX1 Defender if that is the mission. There is plenty of ammo variety in the 2.5 inch format, from birdshot to buckshot to defense loads.
The scandium alloy frame keeps it at 29.6 ounces unloaded, which is impressively light for a six-shot revolver with a .410-length cylinder. At 8.5 inches overall with a 2.75 inch barrel, it carries more like a mid-size revolver than you would expect. A quality holster makes it very workable on the belt.
The two biggest differences are capacity and caliber flexibility. The Governor holds six rounds instead of five, and it adds .45 ACP capability via moon clips on top of .45 Colt and .410. It also brings Smith & Wesson's fit and finish plus a tritium night sight and lightweight scandium frame to the platform.
