Smith & Wesson Governor .45 LC/.410 Bore 6-Shot Revolver – 2.75″ Barrel, Matte Black

The Smith & Wesson Governor is a purpose-built defensive revolver engineered to handle three distinct cartridges: .45 Long Colt, .45 ACP, and .410 bore shotshells. Built on S&W’s robust X-frame platform with a scandium alloy frame and stainless PVD cylinder, it delivers a potent combination of light carry weight and serious stopping power. With a tritium night sight up front, it stays ready when the lights go out — making it an exceptional choice for home defense or capable backup carry.

Few defensive revolvers offer the ammunition flexibility of the Governor. Whether you’re loading .45 LC for precision, .45 ACP with moon clips, or .410 shotshells for close-quarters deterrence, this revolver adapts to the threat. The scandium alloy frame keeps weight down without sacrificing the structural integrity needed to handle the X-frame’s diverse chambering. If you demand a reliable, multi-caliber defensive handgun built to S&W’s exacting standards, the Governor delivers without compromise.
