There are a couple purposes for my Governor for me, first it is a moderately fun gun at the range not as much as the 460V but more fun than the 686. The second is that I ride a recumbent trike on shared use trails, one of those trails was recently extended and now runs threw an area that has had mountain lions spotted the last several years. I plan on having it with me in those areas with a couple 410s with rubber buck shot in the cylinder. I figure the noise and stinging balls should be enough to convince one to look elsewhere with minimal risk to the surroundings. But, before that I need to take it to the outside range in town and verify the shot drop off, pattern and effective range with various shot shells.
