What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Governor revolver
The Governor’s S&W Z-frame uses an elongated window to accommodate .410 bore 2.5 in shells while maintaining a six-shot fluted cylinder. It also chambers .45 Colt and .45 ACP, with .45 ACP requiring moon clips for proper function.
The scandium-alloy frame keeps weight down and strength high, paired with a black-finished stainless steel cylinder for durability. The matte black finish presents a uniform, low-glare appearance.
This DA/SA revolver features an exposed hammer for both double- and single-action operation. Controls include a checkered cylinder latch and a knurled ejector-rod tip for positive handling.
Sighting is straightforward with a fixed top-strap groove rear and a single-dot front blade. The black textured synthetic round-butt grips with S&W medallions provide a secure hold and a clean factory look.
