BizCT Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 What are your guys thoughts on this pistol? Seems really versatile...I read about in a magazine, seems pretty cool. Looks to me like it would be good for home defense, bear defense, etc. Could be used for anything and everything. I dont think the laser grips are necessary, I'd go with the standard model for $679. http://www.cabelas.com/product/Smith-Wesson-Governor174-Revolver/1275164.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Dgovernor%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts&Ntt=governor&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawdwaz Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Depends what your trying to accomplish. Why this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 just figure its small and compact, yet big enough for bear. The shotshells could be cool for NY while deer hunting and if a fox or other small varmints run by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Early Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I have the Taurus Judge, a similar handgun. I don't think it can be beat for home defense...not really sure about the .45 colt for bear...rifling in the barrel produces a really wide spread shot pattern; not good for hunting. With the Taurus being quite a bit cheaper than the S&W, I suggest you give it a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizCT Posted March 12, 2012 Author Share Posted March 12, 2012 (edited) 45ACP. The reviews I read all say the Governor is a better version of the Judge. http://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/2011/08/chris-dumm/gun-review-sw-governor-take-two/ Edited March 12, 2012 by Biz-R-OWorld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
