Oh, was this about the new Smith Governor? Sorry. Got off on a "who's innovative" train of thought.
Like Taurus or not the "Judge" has been a success for a reason.
I highly doubt it'll shoot .45 colt, .45 ACP and .410. If it does that would blow my mind.
"Fire in the Hole!!"
There is a lot of new and uninformed shooters and gun owners out there who have heard of a great gun company called Smith and Wesson.
They were a great gun company. Just like GM used to be a good car company.

Crikey, I just read some of the threads in the S&W forum on the same topic. Geez, it seems like a lot of those people were incensed by this announcement. A lot of acrimony from S&W devotees.
Sure to be shut down by the S&W Forum patrol in short order. That forum is in bed with S&W and wont let an ill word be spoke about them.
THey could add a small set of pink grips and call it the "GOVERNESS"

True enough, but that "reason" is the ignorance of much of the general shooting public(especially brand new and therefore pretty ignorant CCL customers) that sees "shotgun shells in a handgun" and imagine close range devastating effectiveness with scarcely a need to aim. It's success was due to the existing "lore of the shotgun" that Taurus successfully tapped into. Never mind that the gun is extremely bulky,

Amazing, now we have someone polling the majority of owners of the Judge and Governor, to give us the "why" that caused them to buy it. Or, maybe we have just another Internet Commando making sweeping statements based on their own personal opinion.
Let it go. The gun is a success story for Taurus, and will, most likely, provide S&W with a modicum of success. Especially given the fact that S&W enjoys the results of a century plus of history, unmarred by actual results in their on again, off again, QC.
