Amazing, the weight some of you carry around. Heavy fa's with many rounds. Are some of yins expecting a war? My 38+p LCR goes in my front pocket, and I just about forget it's there. I won't carry unless it's a comfortable pistol.

Is this going to be a revolver for target practice at the range, or one that you are comfortable caring? Most likely these will be two different pistols. There really isn't a great rain shooter and a great carry gun mixed into one. My favorite carry gun is my Ruger LCR 38 +p, which is decent at...

Summer = NAA Sidewinder 22 mag Winter = Ruger LCR 38+p

I have these: S&W 64-5 (38SP) S&W 686-6" (357mag) S&W 629-5" (44mag) Rug. Bisley 45 colt) Rug. Birdshead (45 colt)-Fav revolver Of all the revolvers I listed above, my suggestion for you would be something like the 64-5 38 Special. It is not that expensive if you can find one, but buying new...

I have been shooting my governor excessively lately, being it's a new handgun and also that it is enjoyable to shoot a variety of an ammo. It has literally been flawless being 100% functional. I enjoy the versatility of the three different rounds it shoots and each has its benefit. For quick...

I have a technical question concerning 45 caliber handguns, and the size of the bullets I reload. I am wondering what the consequences are of loading the below listed sized 45 caliber bullets in either a 45 ACP handgun or a 45 Long Colt revolver. Here are the three bullets I have and I am...

I have been shooting my governor quite a bit lately and finding the 45 ACP more accurate than I expected. At 21 feet I was keeping a silver dollar size hole in the Target without an issue. What is nice about the 45 ACP is the ease of loading and reloading with moon clips. The spent moon clip...

Yolk = yoke Sent from my Z353VL using Tapatalk

I just got back from the shooting range and I put the governor through it spaces, and it passed with flying colors. I had four different 410 self defense shotshells that I ran through it and they all work perfectly. There wasn't a sign of any weakness in the gun at all. I also loaded up some...

I got her back yesterday and it looks like it is in fine shape. The repair sheet said they replaced the firing pin, the main spring, and repaired the yoke. Not sure what they meant by repairing the yoke, but maybe a spacer in there somewhere to change the cylinder spacing between it and the...

I'm getting my Governor back tomorrow via FedEx two day shipping. I called Smith & Wesson to ask what repairs they did on it and they told me they replaced the firing pin, mainspring, and yoke. I am expecting that the light strike issues will be cleared up with those three items. What I...

Yes I agree, I set up my load of Winchester 231 at 3.9 grains and didn't change it all the way through the 250 rounds I loaded. I would check every 20 or so but they were always at 3.9 according to an electronic scale I have. I got tired of fiddling around with the standard RCBS powder drop...

Differences; *small metering drum *baffle *micrometer Each of these differences lead to more precision powder drops. I just loaded 250 rounds of w231 at 3.9 grains and didn't have to make any adjustment all the way through as it stayed exactly on 3.9 grains. It is so easy to make precise...

I just purchased a an RCBS competition Powder measure with the small metering drum because I was getting tired of the wavering powder drops from my standard RCBS powder drop. Got it all set up and loaded my first group of 38 Special and 3.9 grains of Winchester 231 and it is amazingly accurate...

Along with the 410 capability we shouldn't forget that it also shoots Hefty 45 Long Colt rounds as well as 45 ACP. Like has been mentioned, the versatility of this revolver is one of its assets. If one thinks that a 45 Long Colt is not a good self defense round for home you are very mistaken...
