Description
This Smith & Wesson Governor is a versatile six-shot double-action/single-action revolver built on a lightweight matte black Scandium alloy frame with a stainless steel cylinder and a 2.75-inch barrel. Chambered to accept .45 Colt, .45 ACP (utilizing moon clips), and 2-1/2 inch .410 gauge shotshells, the firearm features a fluted cylinder and black synthetic finger-groove grips bearing the S&W logo. The barrel is clearly marked Smith & Wesson / GOVERNOR on the left side and .45 Colt – .45 ACP – .410 2-1/2″ on the right. The frame bears the Smith & Wesson trademark logo and an internal lock on the left, while the right side is marked SPFLD, MA / S&W, U.S.A. visible near the front of the trigger guard. The serial number CSS0940 is explicitly struck on the frame crane and the butt of the revolver, with the yoke bearing the assembly number 631. The sighting system consists of a fixed notch rear and a black ramp front sight with a white dot. The action appears to function correctly, although the firearm has not been test-fired. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The revolver is in excellent overall condition, retaining nearly all of its matte black finish. The stainless steel cylinder shows a very light turn line, and there is minor carbon residue present on the muzzle and the forward face of the cylinder consistent with limited use. The bore is bright with sharp, well-defined rifling. The synthetic grips are well-preserved with no significant wear to the texturing. The double and single-action trigger pulls are crisp, and the cylinder lockup is tight.
