Smith & Wesson Governor Feature

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.
