Dungeon Defenders Hack Item Editor. Colt. 4. 5 ACP revolver at the 2. SHOT show, many gun guys assumed Hell had frozen over. Smith Wesson imitating Taurus More specifically, the Taurus Judge, a shotshell revolver widely panned for its dismal accuracy and poor DA trigger pull. And As Elvis said, Smith Wesson was takin care of business baby. The gunmaker saw a huge new market opening up. Not being idiots, they wanted a piece of it. So, has Smith evolved and improved the shotgun revolver concept, or have they merely hitched their caboose to the Taurus gravy trainTTAGs Armed Intelligentsia will know this isnt our first take on the Governor, or even the second. Farago Friends blasted paper targets at his indoor range. Roy Hill used it to make fruit salad at his private shooting spot. I was eager to do some accuracy testing and shotshell patterning on my own, and Ive also been dying to learn just how much velocity and energy the Governor sacrifices with its short barrel and elongated cylinder. After long hours baking in a hot shooting quarry, heres what I learned. Overview The Governor is an alloy framed revolver chambered in the 2. Long Colt, and. 4. ACP. Though it shares the same basic concept as the Taurus shotshell revolver, the Governor is not quite a Judge by another name. For one thing, the Judge gives you five shots. The Governor is a true six shooter, yielding an impressive sounding 2. Brazilian Jurist. The Governors AluminumScandium alloy frame packs this added firepower into the same 2. Judge. The Governor is 8. Discreet carry is impossible, even if it werent inadvisable. The Governors cylinder locks into the frame with the traditional cylinder release latch at the rear, and with a spring loaded ball bearing at the front of the cylinder crane above. The ball bearing locks into a detent at the bottom of the ejector shroud. Descargar Libro Quimica La Ciencia Central De Brown Pdf. Most other Smith Wesson revolvers use a spring loaded plunger that engages the hollow tip of the ejector rod to lock the front of the cylinder. I dont know if the Governors design is more positive than the usual method, but the broad, flat end of the ejector rod is more comfortable to use it doesnt try to take a core sample from your palm when you rap it to punch out the empties.

Auto Rim ammunition, you should probably keep it for its collector value. I have no idea if it will function properly in the Governor. Aesthetics In profile the Governor reminds me slightly of Harrison Fords pistol from Blade Runner, but without the Steyr butter knife bolt handle on the side. The big Smiths distorted dimensions make it ugly and cool at the same time, kind of like the Chiappa Rhino. IMHO, the Governors best viewing angle is from the front. The stretched cylinder is foreshortened and the cavernous bore takes front and center, giving it the frontal appearance of a Brobdingnagian snubnose. And no, I didnt point a gun at a photographer. I used a mirror you can tell by the reversed left side shirt pocket. In high contrast to the matte black finish of the rest of the gun, the Governors stainless steel barrel and gaping muzzle together present an extremely intimidating image to anyone on its business end. This Welcome To Hell statement might or might not induce spontaneous defecation in your potential target, but I wouldnt count on it. By the time youve leveled this cannon at a threat and put your finger in the trigger guard, you wont be thinking about jokes like these anyway. Ergonomics The Governor is a big revolver, and its trigger has a big job cocking the hammer and rotating a cylinder thats nearly the size of a can of Red Bull. I exaggerate slightly. But the question remains is the trigger up to the task Yes, and then some. Its simply the best trigger Ive ever felt on a factory stock revolver, buttery smooth and consistent in its takeup and utterly crisp in its release. The DA pull is in the neighborhood of 1. This is an estimate, as my trigger gauge only goes to eight. But the Smith Wesson Governors long pull is deceptively smooth and steady and it doesnt stack at all. The target worthy SA pull breaks like Swarovski crystal at a hair over four pounds, with barely a millimeter of overtravel. Many Smith Wessons need a trigger job before they feel this good. The sights are almost excellent, with a large Tritium front post dovetailed into the barrel. The rear fixed notch is all black. I would have appreciated at least some high contrast white dots on either side. Compared to most fixed sight snubbies, the Governors sights are fabulous quick to acquire in daylight or darkness, and reasonably precise to boot. The Governors grip features a slim rounded grip that seems borrowed from a round butt K frame. Its much more comfortable than the manly looking square butt frame with which most large Smith Wesson revolvers are cursed. Harry Callahans square butt Model 2. San Francisco serial killers, but it forces shooters to choose between two grip sizes Too Big and MuchToo Big. Not so the Governor. Its rounded butt and soft grips fit my hands perfectly, like Id squished a handful of Silly Putty and mounted the resulting Henry Moore sculpture on a pistol grip frame. The bottom finger groove also slightly overhangs the end of the grip frame, giving you a full fisted grip youll definitely appreciate when riding the recoil of  those Buffalo Bore. Long Colts. Recoil is mild with all. ACP loads and all Cowboy. Colt offerings. The. Anyone who can tolerate the recoil of a subcompact 9mm even if they dont like it will think the Governors a real pussycat with.

Sir Isaac Newton tells you that youre definitely going to feel it. Carry Options I really cant imagine any reason or means to CCW with a gun this size. Any sensible carry gun will weigh half of the Governors loaded weight and carry much more firepower. Tiny subcompact 9mm are exactly half the length, half the width and half the weight of the mighty Governor. Yanmar Excavator Repair Manual.
