What is the rifling twist of the S&W Governor .45 Colt/.45 ACP/.410 shotshell barrel?

I've read references that it's twisted "slower and shallower" than other S&W .45 caliber revolvers, in order to "not spread out the .410 shot". But, I haven't found any actual specifications to support this.

Anyone know for sure? Where did you find that information?

Thanx, Dave.
