Smith & Wesson Governor Review In this part of the review, I'm going to show everything that comes in the box (case) with the Smith & Wesson Governor revolver and also show some overall photos of the revolver.
Like many other handguns, the Smith & Wesson Governor revolver comes in a plastic hard case. The end of the box had a sticker with information shown below:
When you first open the case, you see the pistol wrapped inside a protective oil impregnated (I think) paper wrapper. All of the other literature and accessories were tucked under the foam padding in the lid of the case. In the next photo I have pulled all the items out of the top and removed the paper wrapper from the revolver. You can see the case fits the Governor nicely and you have some extra room to carry your moon clips loaded and ready to go. As far as literature is concerned, you will receive the Safety & Instruction Manual, Instructions for Hogue® Bantam™ Grip, Registration Card and NRA Pamphlet. The manual covers all of the Smith & Wesson Modern Style Revolvers and includes an appendix specifically for the Governor revolver. Also included were the test fire cartridge case and
the gun lock. For those wondering why a test fire cartridge
case is
included, certain states or jurisdictions require that all newly
manufactured pistols and revolvers must be accompanied by a
cartridge case which has been test fired These last items included were the Hogue Bantam Tool (used to remove the grip), two Internal Lock Mechanism Keys, two 6-round moon clips and three 2-round moon clips. The moon clips are provided so you can shoot the rimless .45 ACP cartridges. The 2-round clips allow you to mix your .45 ACP cartridges with a combination .410 shotshells and .45 Colt cartridges. These next four photos show some basic views of the Governor Revolver. In the next part of this review (Part 3) I will cover all the details of the Smith & Wesson Governor Revolver with lots more photos and commentary.
Thoughts After the initial "out of the box" inspection, I liked everything I saw. The Governor looks good, was in perfect condition, accessories were good, and I was itching to take it to the range.
