The Governor’s Z-Frame (stretched N-frame) design and six-shot, shallow-fluted cylinder provide robust strength for its versatile chambering. It accommodates 2.5 in .410 bore shotshells as well as .45 Colt and .45 ACP, with the latter running via moon clips for dependable extraction.
Construction combines a scandium-alloy frame in matte black with a stainless steel barrel and an underlugged profile. The stainless cylinder wears a matte black PVD finish that complements the frame for a cohesive look.
Sighting is straightforward and durable: a fixed rear notch on the top strap pairs with a factory tritium front sight for low-light visibility. The action is double-action/single-action with a spurred hammer, and it includes Smith & Wesson’s internal key lock.
Compact dimensions make it easy to manage: a 2.75 in barrel, 8.5 in overall length, and an approximate weight of 29.6 oz. The frame is compatible with K/L-frame grips, offering flexibility in grip selection and fit.
This configuration is the factory SKU 162410, made in the USA, and shipped with the matching-labeled Smith & Wesson box.
