If you could only keep 2 of 3 revolvers...

Hi Everyone,

If you were forced to keep just 2 of 3 revolvers, which ones would you keep?

These are the options (all in excellent condition):

- Smith & Wesson 686 Stainless Steel 4" barrel - pre-lock model
- Smith and Wesson Governor w/ Hogue grip
- Ruger Security Six Stainless Steel 4" barrel with original target wood grip - tack driver
 
HA! That's funny. I don't even know what the Governor is but I sure know about the 686. Get rid of that Guvner.

I was hoping the question posed was what 2 guns would we keep out of our collection? I was going to say the 27-2 six inch and the 29-2, 6.5 inch.
 
I, too, would say "Bye bye Gov." It seems that while some may like this platform it is not as popular as it should be to survive over a long time. I suspect the Governor and Judge will fade into obscurity, which may be a reason to hold onto it for a hundred years or so if you are so inclined. I wouldn't bother doing so myself, but I guess some folks will so their heirs will own an oddity. My $.02.

Oh no, no, no....

You Have to keep the governor. Do not listen to anyone else in this thread, they don't know what they are talking about.. at all!

Bye-the-bye... I live in CT and I'm in the market for a revolver. Since we already deduced that the governor absolutely has to stay, I would be willing to take one of the other two , less desirable, revolvers off your hands. :D ;)
 
I suppose this question stems from the "usefulness" or the "versatility" of the Governor. Kind of like the versatility of a gas/electric hybrid chainsaw - who cares? Is it a tangible advantage for most people? No it is not. Is it a gimmick to sell guns, which was wise because many people who buy handguns lack experience? Yes it is. It was a wise idea to make $$$ for Taurus, and I suppose now S&W, but its not a wise idea for most people, in reality.

Keep the 357s, dump the "best SD option revolver ever" ;)
 
Keep a few?

Nuff said. And yep, I have kept them for a very long time.
