I had a Governor and regret selling it. I had no issues, just didn't shoot it. .45acp is a pain with moon clips. 45 long colt is expensive and .410 is not allowed by most ranges. With that said I wish I still had it.
You're right that .45 Colt is fairly expensive ammo, so that's why anyone who wants to shoot it more should be a reloader.
With cast bullets especially, reloads cost about as much or even less than surplus 9mm ammo.
