Overview

The Smith & Wesson Governor is a handgun chambered in 45 Colt (Long Colt), featuring a standard capacity of 6 rounds and a barrel length of 2.75 inches. This combination of chambering and barrel length places it in the category of compact, large-caliber revolvers designed for close-range use. The 45 Colt chambering is a traditional large-bore cartridge, and the 2.75-inch barrel contributes to a shorter overall profile compared to longer-barreled revolvers. With a 6-round capacity, the Governor offers a cylinder count consistent with many revolver designs in this caliber class. These specifications define the fundamental configuration of this firearm as documented in manufacturer specifications.
