What’s Included
- Smith & Wesson Governor revolver
The Governor’s scandium-alloy frame keeps weight down while maintaining strength, finished in matte black for a low-profile appearance. The stainless-steel cylinder receives a matte-black PVD coating and features shallow flutes, giving it a durable, uniform finish. A partial underlug with a knurled-tip ejector rod supports consistent extraction.
Chambered for .410 2.5-inch shotshells, .45 Colt, and .45 ACP (with moon clips), the cylinder is factory-cut for moon clips to enable reliable .45 ACP use. The 2.75-inch stainless barrel with a stainless liner helps maintain durability and consistent performance.
The revolver uses a DA/SA action with a smooth, combat-style trigger and an exposed hammer with a checkered spur. Fixed sights include a pinned white-dot front blade and a rear notch integral to the topstrap for a straightforward, durable sight picture.
Controls and markings are purpose-driven, including an internal lock, black synthetic finger-groove grips with a molded S&W logo, and a discreet "GOV" stamp beneath the yoke cut. Made in the United States, this Governor reflects Smith & Wesson’s modern engineering on the Z-Frame platform.
