This video features a detailed look at a custom Jovino Effector revolver, a modified Smith & Wesson N-frame built in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Host Keith Ford explains the unique modifications made by Jovino's gunsmiths to create an effective concealed carry firearm, including grip reduction, hammer downsizing, trigger smoothing, barrel shortening, and improved lockup. The Effector offered the strength of an N-frame in a smaller package, making it popular with law enforcement. The video highlights the history of the John Jovino Gun Shop and its connection to the Imperato family of Henry Repeating Arms, noting the shop's closure in 2020.
