Smith & Wesson "Governor"


Recommended Posts

I'm buying this handgun this week, primarily as a house-gun. Not for carry. Too big! But I think it will be perfect for home security protection.

 

Someone breaks in your house, middle of the night, you start sweating, hands shaking, a 410 shotgun shell has a pretty nice spray pattern so you don't have to worry too much about aim. And will get their attention real quick! (Makes a hell of a mess of your drywall though)...

 

Good size and weight.

 

Shoots 410's, .45 Colt & .45 ACP

 

I'm also getting the keypad lockbox for wall mount.

Same format as the Taurus public defender, which I think is a great gun with the PDX rounds. I considered for CHL but is an absolute beast to carry... Makes a great snake gun too with the 410 shells!

 

I looked and the Taurus Judge also. I just liked the S&W a little better. I'm going to do some test shooting at the Frontier Justice range this week with .45 rounds. This thing is a beast.

Those look like a winner. There's a Cabela's not too far from my house.

 

I have that lock box. Got it at menards last year, works great

 

Yeah, 4 digit pin... big key pad for large fingers fumbling in a semi dark room! :thumbs:

A friend was asking me if i heard about them when we were playing poker so i looked them up. I might keep a mag with them in the house

I don't know if I'd trust those 9mm shot rounds to cycle... I like the idea of shotshells in a revolver, .410 just seems a little small.

Small for a shotgun, Big for a handgun.

5 .35 cal projectiles moving @ 1300FPS is 1220 ft/lbs on target with five separate wound channels.

Chris, you are much better off with a standard hollow point round.

Those "shotshell" rounds are not very impressive and open up really quick. You would be lucky to get half of the pellets on a paper plate at 10-15yds........Stick to standard ammo. for defense.

 

Same goes for the .410 PDX rounds. They open up really quick. We were testing their pattern on pumpikns and the spread was terrible, they go all over the place rather quickly.

Not for defense. There are a lot of snakes that come out on the property during spring and summer. I have Winchester PDX-1 bonded hollow points for defense in house. I know those shot shells are for snake and rodent.

I hope you have time to unlock that box if you ever need the gun to defend your life!

 

 

I was practicing in the store and I had it unlocked and gun in hand in 5-6 seconds. Behind headboard.

 

6 grandkids. Gotta be locked.

Headboard is curved at the top so there's about a 6" gap between the headboard and the wall. I'll put up a pic after I get it installed.

 

See pic...
