I have to agree, the governor is a great gun to shoot. If ya get a chance to shoot some of them 410 shells with the disks and bb's at a 3/4 plywood,do it! Makes me smile just thinking about it again!
Been thinking about getting a governor

You're in the same spot i WAS in...I've Been considering a Governor for quite some time, and today i finally put the money down. Got a sweet deal on a NIB black one at a local pawn shop / gun store. I was wanting the matte silver but the manager stated that this one had been in his shop since January of this year and he would be able to knock $65 off the price to move it. Can't wait to give it a workout. It will be a great woods gun.

Man I loved reading this thread because I feel the same way about my Governor. It IS a fun gun to own and shoot with the variety of ammo that can be used. I found the PDX shot shells are a bear to shoot recoil wise, but for HD would be a nasty shock for any
Sorry bout that. Any intruder would not like them.
I just love the way LCs feel when shooting more than the acp.
I recently took my wife to the range to rent and shoot a Ruger SP101 for a future purchase. While we were there she also shot the Governor and liked it very much. Didn't think it was too much at all and did well with it. Not enough to want one but to her surprise it was easy enough to handle.
All in all, nice gun , you will enjoy it.

I am so glad to keep reading good things about the Governor! I just paid off my 629-6 two weeks ago and the Governor is my next planned handgun purchase, probably after Christmas or early next year. It just seems like it will be a lot of fun to shoot!
I'm the original poster and am still without a governor. I was hoping to find one for under $600 but cannot. Does anyone have a lead as to the best deal for one. I am kinda a tightwad and want the best deal I can find. So far the best deal with all fees I have come across is $660. If I cannot find a better deal I am willing to pay that but I would perfer cheaper.

Question, can moon clips that work on a 625 be used on the Governor???
I hope so...i have plenty of those and could save some money if they do.

Nice back pack gun or trail pistol in a shoulder holster in CCW states. I have no regrets and am pretty happy with it.

Agreed. Mine was right at $700 in the spring of 2013.
nsl You asked about 1/3 moon clips and I said I got them at midway.But I just discovered they will not let the cylinder close on my governor.They work fine in my 325 nightguard and both 1917s.They were made by ranch products I hope I have not caused a problem by recommending them.
Didn't think I ever would but I recently did buy the black model w/ night sight. I will admit I think it's gonna be my woods carry gun. Prolly with two #6 shotshells and four .45 Colt hard-cast, flat-point Keith type. Should handle most anything from copperheads to bigfoot.
