I know I am in the minority here but I for one am happy to see S&W coming out with the Gov. I am not sure if I am going to run out and purchase one, but as a person who enjoys guns, S&W & Ruger (especially) I just might. I have never seen a Smith or Ruger I didn't like, it is just that I like some more than others. S&W is in business to make money and to make money they must make quality products and products that will sell, if the Governor is of better quality than the competition it will sell, and that is A/OK with me

They advertise .410, .45 Long Colt, and .45 ACP. I'm assuming you have to use a half moon clip for the ACP? Why use it then?
The moon clips make for a really fast reload.
I bet a PDX1 round to the chest at 10 feet would spoil the day for a scumbag kicking in the kitchen door.
It shows a crimson trace grip. I assume it is a N frame, if so I want to get the grip.

"What would you rather have, S&W revolvers made in Japan? ...or none at all?"
This is only one person's view but as long as they fail to make products that interest me then Japan is as good a place as any to make current S&W revolvers. I can not purchase them just as easily if they are made in Japan as if they are made here.
There is no requirement to be ever loyal to the company.
It will be certain that legions of fans will purchase their production any way. They will purchase whether the guns are made here or in Japan. I'm only one insignificant and small pocket book. I don't matter to the company any more. I once did matter but their focus changed. My focus did not change. Oddly enough, many who now have means to purchase traditional Smith & Wesson revolvers configured to their wishes are denied the ability to purchase those revolvers as current production by a company who once could supply such revolvers, but one supposes that is the economy.
I'm still delighted to pursue the classic traditional models Smith & Wesson once made. The masses may pursue anything they fancy.

I own a Japanese Winchester 1885 High Wall in 45/70, and its one of the best rifles I've ever shot. It has a lot of craftsmanship in it as one can see from the wood, bluing, and fit.
I held one of the S&W copies of the Ruger LCR, I can't even remember what its called, the other day at the local gun shop and before I could say it, the owner said "I know, its a piece of ****." Makes me wonder when the guy trying to sell it says that.
I really don't care if S&W ever sells another gun. I want what I want and if they don't make it, I'll look elsewhere. Maybe Japan......
Seems American auto makers came back after the '70's and '80's and were once again able to manufacture a quality product. Well, maybe all except for the one that makes Corvettes. Hopefully my tax money has gotten them back on the right track. I kinda like my Silverado.
