I bought a Governor several years ago when my LGS received one. I would label it unique rather than any of the other adjectives. It has the Scandium alloy frame and it will shoot .45 acp and .45 Colt as well as 410 shotshells. I have carried it in a Disantis holster as a sidearm when hunting and I do not find the weight bothersome to my 69 year old frame. I load it with Buffalo Bore .45 Colt standard pressure Outdoorsman cartridges. I have a lot of fun with it and again it is a unique handgun in my collection. I would not feel under gunned with the Federal 4 count 000 Buck shotshells although I would more likely use .45 Colt which I reload for Cowboy Action Shooting.
Personally I would never like to be shot with anything including .22 rimfire.
