I am looking at the S&W Governor for my concealed carry piece although I haven’t yet wrapped my hands around one. My P90 Ruger 9mm just doesn’t fit my hand very well and is a little too large for concealment. I like the automatic but am considering the revolver due to advertised size and the ability to fire either .45 or 410 ammo. If anyone has any first hand experience with this gun I’d appreciate your thoughts.

S&W Governor

That looks the same as a Taurus Judge. I don't know about the S&W but I've read that the Taurus Judge is really just a close-in gun—not very accurate at a distance.

Since in Arizona I seldom wear a coat or any other heavy clothing under which I can readily conceal a handgun, I pocket carry a Taurus Ultralite .38 Special with a two inch barrel. Today I put some +P ammo through it for the first time and that little puppy really barked. Strangely, I didn't find the +P any more difficult to control than a standard round.

Take a serious look at Browning Hi-Powers, their slim, hold 14 rounds and are a better fit for smaller hands. Carried one as a duty weapon for many years.
