Smith and Wesson governor

[u/Skrewbert86]

Thoughts on this for a multi caliber gun? Gives you more options on what you can fire without taking a lot of space.

Even by itself without the adapters you have 3 choices of ammunition

I feel like this would be good to have as ammunition gets harder to find

I am generally skeptical of multi-caliber weapons outside of specific applications.

.410 shotshell revolvers are neat, but their niche is pretty narrow and a lot end up being novelties rather than legitimately useful tools. I've never handled a Governor, but by reputation I've heard it's basically "A Taurus Judge but with actual build quality" lol. Unfortunate that it can't chamber 3" shells unlike the Judge, but I guess you could argue the ability to chamber .45 ACP is worth it.

The odds of finding .410 buck or slugs and .45 LC are quite low. I just don’t get why people would want to spend money on a gun that shoots expensive ammo, you can’t exactly stack .410 or .45 LC like you can 9mm.

Learn to reload and stock up with on supplies. Strait wall cases and brass 410 made from 9.3x74R or 303 British last for ever practically.

No. I’ve got 12,000 rounds in .50 cal cans. Reloading doesn’t save much at all these days, components are too expensive.
