    Nice gun i noticed them on gunbroker.com but i don't know anything about that website happy shopping I like my Taurus

    Thanks! Just like S&W version because I can shoot three different calibers vs two and I fired both and liked the S&W a little bit better.

    I have seen them on GB but was hoping someone near by had one available.

    If none of the IPs have them, they are in stock through PSA. Love my Governor - shoots the Federal 410 Handgun shells (000Buck) with very nice groups at HD range.

    I couldn't find one at an LGS, so created an account on gun broker and placed an order. Can't wait to see how it shoots. :drool:

    They're fantastic. Have shot a friend's before, with different ammo, including 410 shotgun rounds. Smooth and controllable, and very accurate. Might eventually add it to my future want list.

    Just saw the above post is from last year and looked up the ammo. Seems like a great pairing. Four 70 grain shot pellets that make 38 Special sized holes moving slightly faster than 38 Special. Got to do considerable damage for something coming out of a handgun.

    Have one, and while I don't take it out for Range Toy mode, I've put SD .410 splatter rounds through it as a test (great!) and have shot 45LC (also great!). It stays in a lock box in the bedroom. Mrs. Occam likes the idea of it for unwanted bipeds in the house. It's loaded 410/45/410/45/410/45 just because variety is the spice of threat stopping. It's a nice, funky revolver. A good friend has a couple of the Taurus flavors, but I like the build and the sixth round on the Governator.

    Did you hear the eagles soaring and saying 'Murica over and over? I did. :D

    I'm still looking for 1/4 oz rifled slugs. It shoots those slugs really well.

    Glad I stocked up early last year. Finding any in stock has been near impossible lately. I was impressed how well and consistently the shot patterned compared to some other HD shells.

    I didn't think that I'd like it, but it was a real pleasant shooter. Your Governor's trigger is also very smooth and easy to stage.

    Love mine...nothing like 410 slugs from a revolver. The 000 buck shells had my target stand walking backwards with every shot at 7 yards. There is a website that sells "exotic" 410 shells like flares and exploding slugs...can't recall the site though...been a while since I looked for ammo.

    Were those the Hornady Triple Defense? They look really good in a couple of youtube comparison videos.

    Maybe THIS is the exotic ammo website for .410.

    I broke the gov'na out of the safe today as I hadn't had it out on the range in a while. Mostly as I was running low on Federal .410 Handgun and it has been unobtanium for about a year or so. I picked up a hundred or so Hornady Critical Defense FTX slugs (+2 .35 cal. balls) recently. I was impressed. Grouped as well as the the Federal, with both being far superior to Winchester PDX. Below are the results of a 20 round box at 10-12 yards. I don't use mine as a nightstand gun, but but see how it could fill that role.
