Governor for sure. 1 more round plus it shoot .45 ACP as well as .45LC and .410. I would take a S&W over a Taurus anyways.

look at availability and price of .45acp VS .45 long colt .. that will probably help with your decision.. although if its a carry gun the smaller 5 shot gun would be more carryable..

Go with the S&W if you can afford it.  Made in America, far superior customer service, 6 rounds vs 5, and you can shoot .45 ACP.  .45 ACP is a lot easier to find and is cheaper than .45 Colt.

Compared to popular domestic arms makers (S&W, Ruger, etc) Taurus quality control is often pretty sloppy.

Compared to those companies, their customer service is pretty crappy as well.  I had a friend (a used-to-be Taurus fan) who had an issue with a 2nd gen 24/7 and they made him pay $12 for a dumb little magazine catch spring as well as pay to send it in to be installed.

  In contrast, Ruger has sent me multiple parts, all free of charge.  At the moment, I have an LCP flat magazine baseplate on the way at no cost just because I sent an email mentioning I couldn't find any place that sold them.


Are you sure you want a .410 revolver?  Unless I want a trailgun specifically for snakes or grouse, I don't see myself ever buying one.  The short barrel gives anemic velocities at best and the shallow rifling in the barrel unnecessarily spreads shot patterns as well.  There isn't much shot in a cartridge to begin with.
If it's just the novelty, go ahead.
If you want to buy this for actual self defense purposes I urge you to reevaluate your needs and what kind of platform and cartridge is going to be best suited for it.  A .410 shotshell coming out of very short barrel isn't much of a threat stopper in my opinion.  :twocents:

 :yeah:

+1 to Dave's comments at the end there. Revolvers make for poor shotguns. If this is for CCW, Get a real handgun.  :twocents:
