Smith & Wesson Governor Capacity
The Smith & Wesson Governor is chambered for .45 Long Colt and can also fire .410 caliber shotgun shells. Its cylinder can hold up to 6 rounds and its cylinder release lever is located along the left side of the frame.
Smith & Wesson Governor Feature
The Smith & Wesson Governor holds up to 6 rounds in its cylinder and has a 2.75 inch barrel. The trigger is set to either fire from single- or double-action and the hammer can easily and safely be pulled back for a more accurate single-action trigger pull.
Smith & Wesson Governor Ergonomics
The Governor includes a hogue grip to give the user plenty of control when firing the somewhat high-power rounds. The grip has a soft, high-friction surface that prevents slipping. Its cylinder release is easily reached by hands of any size, allowing for a very safe method of unloading the revolver.
Smith & Wesson Governor Concealability
The large frame and long cartridge that the S&W Governor employs give it a length over 8 inches and a hight approaching 6, leading this revolver to be a rather difficult gun to conceal. The best method of concealment would likely be through a shoulder holster under a jacket.
Smith & Wesson Governor Fit-N-Finish
The S&W Governor is available with a polished, blued finish or in a stainless steel finish with a matte surface. The lock-up of the cylinder remains tight even after many years of use thanks to the impressive heat treating of the internal parts.
