No but i was wondering if that's how you got your profile name?

Indianagirl said recoil not bad at all.

To answer your question, I was thrown from my horse and it completely shattered my wrist. It
also messed it up my hand so it doesn't properly

That sucks. As far as the Governor....can't have them in Cal. No surprise there. I read a write up on the Taurus Judge which is similar. People seem to like it a lot. It has such a long cylinder I always wondered if firing bullets instead of the shotgun shells caused any problems.

Not directly involving the Governor but there seems to be 2 camps on the .410/.45c handguns. Those that think it's an interesting idea and give it a try and those that think it's a horrid idea, won't try one let alone buy one and spend mucho time on the internet letting everyone know how stupid they think the idea is. Seems to me the guys in the first camp are very happy with theirs.

I know one guy who bought a Judge. He bought it for a range toy, some HD and for some woods bummin. It's not a hunting gun and he doesn't care if it won't shoot clover leafs at 25 yards. He's more than happy with it and thinks it's great fun. IMO they are what they are. They aren't a target gun, they aren't a shot guns, they aren't a CC gun. Don't try to make em something they're not. They don't fit into my plans but I'm not so hardheaded to think they don't fit into someone else's.
