The huge chamber throats to accommodate 410’s is over sized for 45’s of any sort. The long chambers for 410’s have 45’s rattling down an extraordinarily long unrifled tunnel to get to the barrel and some rifling. This results in significant velocity loss in the only useful ammo available for the gun: 45’s - lc or acp.

The shotgun application is useful for shooting pests at arms length , but so is a 22 pistol. And the 22 is useful at longer ranges.

410’s are marginal in a shotgun: experts’ application but not a good choice for much of anything. Folks who are knowledgeable shooters understand this.

The Governor does nothing well. A 1911 is a much handier platform for a 45, any 22 pistol is a better varnimt gun. The shotgun application is a joke in a stumpy revolver.
