Don't own one, but shot one, a steel version, and (agree with Cheapshooter) it is surprisingly accurate out to 7 yds/21 feet. People are now CCing them.

As much as I like S&W revolvers, the Governor missed the CCW boat by producing a larger/ wider 6-shot cylinder, instead of a slimmer 5-shot (like Taurus). For some reason S&W is reluctant to build large bore 5-shot revolvers, which means more sales to other manufacturers.
