S&W has introduced a .410 chambered revolver with a light scandium frame called "The Governor" (urrgghhh ... a governor is more important than a judge, right?) . The Taurus Judge has been selling so well I am surprised it took so long for another company to copy the concept.
Unlike the Judge, it can take .45 ACP in addition to the .45 Long Colt and .410.
It comes in a laser (crimson trace) and non-laser version. The MSRP is $679 for the non-laser model
It comes with 2-round and 6-round moon clips.
I have not yet made it to the Mossberg booth at SHOT, but fellow blogger MJM did. Coming to a zombie movie near you!
MJM has a great photo of it over at his blog. I will be sure to check it out tomorrow.
Just as S&W jumps into the .410 shotshell revolver market, Taurus counters with a 28 Gauge monster. The question remains: how big will they do?
Compared to the new .22 LR chambered Taurus Tracker
The new Walther PPQ has finally been unveiled. The pistol is striker fired and features a new trigger system with a claimed crisp 5.5 lbs trigger. It will be available in .40 S&W and 9mm Parabellum.
The Sphinx pistols look great and feel great. They shoot with a guaranteed accuracy of 2" at 25 yards. More on them tomorrow. I have been up since 6am and my laptop battery is about to die on me. Lots more photos tomorrow.

You either love it, or you hate it. The HK45.
The day many thought would never arrive has finally materialized out of thin air! This week H&K finally started shipping the civilian version of the HK416 rifle. I shot it today for the first time and was impressed. It works as advertised. Easy to control and jumps right back on target. The retail price is slightly under $3000.

Because y'all like photos, here are some random photos ...
The Ruger GunSite Scount rifle was very nice to shoot. I love the Scout Concept and this is a Scout done well and relatively cheaply. If you decide you don't like the scout-scope, standard Ruger rings attached to the normal palce.
I had the opportunity to try Surefire's new 60 round and 100 round double stacked AR-15 magazines. The 100 is big and heavy (move over Saiga-12) but the 60 is not much longer than a standard 30 round magazine and the weight is not so bad. This is going to be a very popular product.
