smith and wesson governor

"Okay, I wore bell bottoms and a silly white hat"

Yeah, but I bet you never wore velour bell bottoms !
Hey now, the girlz thunk they was pretty cute-n-cool for a short while back-when, and a man will sometimes do things he wouldn't druther.... for just the very 'right' cause, you know, girlin' daze
I did eventually give 'em up for Resistol cowboy hats, Levis, and denim jackets, though.. a revolver worn OWB looks way too silly with bell bottoms, even denim ones
but the Resistol was white (of course)

now... where did I put them doggone car keys ??

but I still do think a Great Pumpkin shoot really would be the pert near perfect thing for the on-topic revolvers in question

To each his own opinion.

Im old like Stainz and old fool, I dont need one YMMV.

Oh, and I own 4 flawless tauri, and a bunch of smith and rugers go figure.

Now where is my cane, beer, and truck keys?

BTW Remember the NEHRU jacket and platform shoes?

what are your thoughts on the smith and Wesson governor

Like it's spiritual cousin the Judge, a solution to a nonexistent problem. Cool toy, but I have no need for one.

Oh, well, Nehru Jackets were better than the polyester "leisure suits" of the 70s, I guess. SHEESH, the fashion thing. Maybe that's why there's a Judge and Governor, all about fashion? I never did understand fashion.

You know, now, all the girls walk around in rubber boots, yeah, HONEST TO GOD rubber boots, but with flowers and stuff molded in. You see 'em at the mall shoe stores, over 100 bucks! I used to get steel toed ones, rubber chemical boots, issued to me at the plant. I coulda made a fortune! It's a friggin' FASHION statement! We saw a girl walking around the park in shorts and her rubber boots, you know, FISHING boots, but fashionable, today. I guess she can get away with it now that the temps are dropped into the 70s. Can you imagine the foot odor if she wore 'em too long in 100 degree heat? WHEEW! I told the wife, I think I'll go put my waders on and take a stroll around the park.

I have to respectfully disagree. If the gun was worthless at mobilizing any or all of it's payloads I might be inclined to agree with you, but that's not the case. I've actually shot every possible round through this thing and it does a decent job with all off them; perfect, no, acceptable, yes.

It's a Leatherman multi-tool of guns. I don't like cleaning fish with my Leatherman but I can, and it does a decent enough job. Plus I can tighten or loosen a screw with it, open a can or bottle, etc.

The Gov and it's apparently low-life cousin, the Judge, are simply an attempt to add versatility to an otherwise purpose-built firearm. With versatility comes compromise. It's not axiomatic that compromise results in uselessness.

I hope everyone buys a Judge/Governor. Leave the good guns for me.

My brother has an Ultra-Lite Judge chambered for the 2½ inch, and he likes it. Of course, he uses it as a "truck gun."

I was waiting for the Raging Judge to come out, a six-shot chambered for the 3 inch/.454 Casull! (Naw, just kidding!) I think the Judge and the Governor are about as many .410/.45s as we need.

It's so controversial that I want one now.

My signiture line says it all. It applies to the Govenor as well since it's the same concept. If snakes are your worry, then go for it. If not, there are better options.

Killing machine-The Governor

"Here come da Judge"no more, now its "whassup GOV?" I like the Gov better just because it is a Smith & Wesson and it shoots lots of different rounds thus enableing it to kill a rotted pear , an armadillo, a rat, a snake, a carjacker, a bunch of yellowjackets, a large black widow spider, a deer, a dog, a cat, a small pig, a raccoon, a possum, a turkey up close, a coyote, a fox, a carp, a duck, a goose, a chicken, a uh...........etc, etc. etc.
You get the point?

Hell of a gun! Fun too. I love mine.

Oh, man -- I'm worried now...I got mine as a rhesus monkey gun, and I didn't see that on your list...

Okay -- then armadillos and carjackers, it is!

Mcgunner-- One thing is true about Taurus, their accuracy is not on trial. I recently sold a Taurus 970 (4 loose chambers) to fund a K22... though, I haven't practiced a lot, that 970 was top dog. My Mark II bull barrel was the closest I had to the 970.

With me, the problem has always been their CS and QC. They let things slide and they don't fix things when you send them in. I'm working on my "bashing" and negative comments, but it will take some time. I realize there are some good ones, "I had one for ten years", but when it comes to accuracy... they are right up there with the best.

"S&W copied Taurus". The next time anyone has the urge to say Ruger copied Kel-Tec or S&W copied Taurus, stop and think about who manufactured the first 1911 and .45 Peacemaker guns and how many companies are now copying those. Plus it does not make your point by saying that. Is a Wilson Custom 1911 a lousy gun because it is a copy of a Colt 1911? Ya see my point. It also does not reflect well on any poster that repeats what has been posted to death by others. if you want to post uninformed opinions, at least make them original uninformed ones. Then we know who to blame.
