Smith & Wesson Governor Gun Nuts Media

I posted a joke about a Smith 410 a couple of weeks ago....but has anyone else seen this???

 

[Iggy]

Tell me ain't so!!

Seems to be only one source for that information.

Have to just watch and see what develops.

Smith and Wesson chasing Taurus....
I have been to two World Fairs, Las Vegas and San Francisco....but now I really HAVE seen everything...

I hope its got a lock.We sure wouldn't want something like THAT getting loose.

 

[MSgt G]

I searched for it on their website, but received zero results. Will have to keep watching.

I'm sure all my revolvers have governors on them, but I think Jerry Miculek gets special ungoverned models.

What...it won't fire the 454 or 460?? What a shame!!

Cheers,

I betting this is a prank. If S&W did come up with a design like this, it would only be a one-off just to test the water, so to speak.
It should be thrown in the water, all photographs of it destroyed, denied it ever existed, and never be spoken of again.
(I took a close up look at a Taurus Judge once...I then put it back on the table and slowly backed away.)

Dan M, I did post that, knowing good and well it was a joke....
The link I posted in this thread was sent to me by a friend who knows I like Smith revolvers....
I don't know if its real or not..but I suspect SHOT will tell

"S&W clones a Taurus...the end must be near."

I will wait for the 74 shot Hollywood version that takes down MIGs from 45,000 Feet.

Well, I would say that the second fastest selling handgun today is the Judge in it's various versions.

S&W's J-frames are probably the most popular. I guess S&W is just going where the money is.

I don't think Taurus has anything to worry about.

Smith will want $1000.00 MSRP for the thing, and it'll sell for $700. It needs to be in the sub $500 range before it starts moving.

It isn't in the neighborhood of what most people want to pay- too expensive, and too late to get in on the cash crop associated with .410 handguns. The market is getting filled.

I think the single action from Heritage is much more interesting, and much, much more affordable.

Four skeletons on horseback should be appearing anytime now.
They used to burn people at the stake for such blasphemy.
Why? Why? Why?

Well............I love the S&W guns but that is almost the ugliest gun i ever laid eyes on. If I was down to my last gun, I would not buy one like that.

A person would not have to shoot someone with that gun. Just show it to them and they would die laughing.

 

[Snowbandit]

Would someone intelligent enough to buy Smith & Wesson actually be dumb enough to buy one of these?

 

[old bear]

S&W copies the Taurus judge, is there no accounting for corporate bad taste?
