Default Using the S&W Governor as a self defense weapon ?

Anyone using a Governor for your night stand weapon ?? Or as a varmint pistol out on the farm ??

I've thought of getting a Governor for a varmint gun living here out in the country and for a home defense gun that my wife could use also if needed .. How is the recoil with the 410 shell ?? I've shot a 410 rifle a few years back but that was with 3 inch rounds and they would seem rather stout in a hand gun I would think .. have looked on u-tube but it really doesn't demonstrate how much recoil there is .. and the S&W uses 2 1/2 inch 410 rounds verses the 3 inch rounds in most 410 rifles .. being able to shoot .45 Colt/.45 Auto/.410 I think could be a real advantage ..

At about 29 oz the pistols mass should help with the felt recoil

I like the ability to use any one of three different rounds in the same pistol .. even a mixture of the three different rounds at the same time intrigues me !! But must say I'm not a wheel gun person not owning any presently the last one 30 some years ago .. have had many autos since then ..

Any info would be greatly appreciated !!
