Smith and Wesson Governor on my wish list

[stantheman86]

I'm a S&W fan, and have been since the late 1980's. I would buy a Governor, for no real reason at all......I don't need one, maybe I just want to blow watermelons up in my backyard.

.410 slugs no good for defense? Could have fooled me......

Your opinion would be swayed by an el-cheapo accessory?

My opinion would be swayed by having different moon clips from the two 625's I feed already.

What is up with all the haters? The more guns and versitilty the better I say. I have no need for one but can easily see its utility in the snake infested swampy south or as a survival pistol stashed in a backpack. I wouldnt want an angry homeowner launching Winchesters PDX1 rounds at me either. I know one thing for sure.....I would much rather have the S&W version rather than a Taurus peice of junk.

Don't really have a dog in this fight...I even offered some positive input to the OP.

You may want to search for the test of the Taurus Judge over on the Box-O-Truth site. The .410 slugs and buckshot were not that impressive. An interesting test.

There are FAR better HD options out there.

I second Frank237. I will add that it has a "Jack of all trades, master of none" kind of thing going for it. I can't say if that is a positive or not. I will only really seriously mock it for the attempted oneup'smanship on the name. If it follows, Ruger is soon to release the "Senator", it will shoot .45ACP, .410, .45 Colt, AND .460SW!!! Anyone not paying attention please note that I am joking...

Any word if they will make it a longer barrel?

Well, since this thread has already been risen like Lazarus, I'll go ahead and comment.

If Ruger (or S&W) made a revolver that would chamber .460s and .410s, I'd buy one in a minute. That would be truly awesome

They need to make a carbine out of it. like Rossi's circuit judge.

I'd buy one if it was smoothbore with interchangeable chokes. I'd shoot the piss out of it when it came to clays.
