I have a 625JM... fantastic revolver. I keep 105 loaded moonclips of 230gr ball ammo in each of two metal 5.56 ammo cans at home - and a few more in a range bag tupperware tub. I needed another .45 ACP revolver - thought about the 325NG - got this monster instead last June - for $10 less than the $589 the 625JM cost me back in 2/05! Nowadays, the Governor is over $300 OTD less, street price, than a 325NG - and only 1.6 oz heavier and with <1" more OAL, otherwise it is very similar in construction (Al/Sc frame, black SS barrel & cylinder, tritium Night Sight, etc.). It takes the same moonclipped .45 ACPs as the 625 - and a few other choices, ammo-wise, too! Great bedside gun.
Yeah, it'll also chamber and shoot .45 Schofield, .45 Colt, and 2.5" .410 shotgun shells. Mine sports the .500 Magnum Hogue grips from S&W - they aren't necessary, but do offer a larger and more comfortable grip than the OEM grips, shown alongside.
A dichotomy exists with the Ruger .45 convertible Blackhawk. It can shoot .45 ACPs - frugally priced big bores begging for a faster reload - and, change cylinder, and shoot .45 Colts - more deliberately. It's a gateway gun - my 5.5"-er was - I replaced it 9/02 with my first 625 .45 ACP - a new 4"-er. The BH had done it's damage - I had a few other .45 Colt shooters - and ~2,700 empty such cases amassed under my bench. I would eventually go beserk shooting .45 ACPs - I even started making my own, following the .45 Colts as my reason to start reloading. Even now, the roll your own savings may not be there for .45 ACPs - you can still buy a 250 round box of UMC brass cased ball ammo, inc s/t, and still have enough left for a 'Happy Meal' at the McD's from a Benjamin.
Get a DA-capable .45 ACP revolver... you'll love it... a frugal, both in ammo cost and recoil, big bore.
