SMITH & WESSON GOVERNOR

Perhaps the best Governor Illinois has seen in many years is not even a politician... it is a Revolver! This Hog Leg of a gun can fire .410 Shotgun shells loaded with four 000 Buck Shot pellets that are like four .32 Caliber Bullets being shot out of one Cartridge at one time! You could also choose to shoot 45 Colt in a variety of styles, full lead, full metal jacket, Jacketed Hollow Points with Bonded Jacket and +P performance,  or even .45 ACP with clips that attach to the rounds at the base of the cartridge. It is a stout gun with some weight and it can be bought with Hoag Grips. The front sight has a trillium glow in the dark circle and is really cool. This pocket cannon is a powerful beast of a handgun and is not for lightweights. The recoil from a .410 Shotgun Shell is more than a .44 Magnum! I use mine as a Conceal Carry Gun, along with my Glock 26, 9mm. I like to have the Governor loaded up with a odd and even match up of .410 OOO BuckShot and 265 Grain Hollow Point 45 Colt +P Cartridges by Hornady. It is far better firearm than the Taurus Judge.
