Because I had seen size & weight mentioned on occasion
I did some weighing for the Governor vs Judge thread.
This is cut & pasted from that thread.
Because someone mentioned how heavy the
Governor was it got me to wondering about
this so I went and did some checking.
I used digital postal scales that were zeroed in
before each weight was taken so I'm probably
pretty close to the actual weights.
The 3" 686+ loaded with 7 rounds of Buffalo Bore
.38 SPL +P, 158 gr lead semi-wadcutter hp's weighed,
2 lb. 7.7 oz.
The 2.5" Model 66-2 with 6 rd's of the same Buffalo Bore
ammo listed above weighed,
2 lb. 3.4 oz. (same as the Gov w/250 gr. Speer Gold Dots)
The Governor weights are below:
6 rounds Speer Gold Dot .45 Colt, 250 gr. hp
2 lb. 3.4 oz.
6 rounds Federal LE Classic "Hi-Shok" .45 acp, 185 gr. hp
2 lb. 2.2 oz. (with Moon Clip)
6 rounds Federal Handgun .410 (2.5") 000 buck
2 lb. 3.1 oz.
All 3 guns had Crimson Trace LG-306 Grips
(as shown in photo below)
Based on the above, the Governor, even with the heaviest rounds, weighs
the same as a 2.5" M66-2 with 158 gr. LSWC Buffalo Bore Ammo.
