[Nightcrawler]

What revolvers do you wish companies would make? Nothing unrealistic, but something they could make or add to their existing lineup? Any new models or new features you'd like to see from S&W, Colt, Taurus, or Ruger?

Here're mine:

Ruger

-A GP100 in 10mm, using S&W 610 moonclips.
-4.5" Redhawks in .44 and .45 Colt. Bring back the .41 Redhawk.
-5-shot GP100s in .44 Special, .41 Mag, and .45 Colt. 4" and 3" barrels, fixed and adjustable sights.
-5.5" Super Redhawks in .454 Casull, .480 Ruger, and .44 Magnum.
-5-Shot Super Redhawk in .500S&W

Colt
-If they haven't done so, enhance their large framed revovlers so they're at LEAST as strong as the improved N-Frames.
-Bring back the .41 and .45 Colt Anacondas!
-Start producing small carry revolvers again

More later...

[Brian Williams]

A fixed sight Blue 45 colt S&W mountain gun P&R with firing pin on hammer no MIM with a round butt 4" tapered barrel.

Mod 13 with a tapered barrel 3" 4" 5" 6"

[Rangie]

-NAA

.32 caliber black widow

-S&W

310+ 7-shot scandium N-frame 10mm.

[ChristopherG]

1) Moonclips on everything from S&W--not so they're required, but so they're optional. Tom Knight could teach 'em how.

2) 4" 657

[Dr.Who]

A S&W 627 .357/.38 8 times 4 inch full lug barrel PC with moonies.....

[HogRider]

All I want, is a Revolver with the Strength of a Super Black Hawk, the Smoothness of a Colt Python and the Looks and the Ergonomics of an old Smith and Wesson 29. That's it!




Edited for typo..

[Okiecruffler]

and some day will have, a big horking SS DA revolver with a 6 inch barrel and a full accessory lug under the barrel, just like Vin deisel has in XXX. Some of those cool tranq shells would be pretty cool too.

[MagKnightX]

A Schofield replica in .454 Casull. With a very precisely lined-up forcing cone/cylinder area.

[Johnny Guest]

I was gonna say, same gun as the Model 58, but chambered for .45 Colt. I kinda like your idea better - - tapered barrel, round butt. I wouldn't mind seeing it in stainless.

Even better would be the 1950 Military, with the shrouded ejector rod, in .45 Colt. In blue, it would be a really neat, very traditional-looking piece. In stainless, with round butt, it would be a supreme rough country piece.

AND - - I'd like to see Colt produce a three-inch Cobra, round butt, stainless, sturdy enough for 158 +P loads, without ejector shroud.

Best,
Johnny

[ACP230]

More .41 Magnums.

[JoeHatley]

I've wanted to see this one for years:

S&W lightweight L frame
5 shot cylinder
Round butt
2.75" barrel
.45 acp and fullmoon clips
Fixed rear sight
"Classic" front sight
"Hammerless" Centenial

I sear. If they build it, I'd buy a bunch!!

Joe

[longtom4570]

GP100 in 10mm:D :D

[Nightcrawler]

I just got an email from Clements Custom Guns. They can convert a GP100 to 10mm for $500.00. Six shots, too. Requires custom moonclips, though, as the 610 moonclips are too big. The conversion comes with 15 of them, though.

[Alan Fud]

A Centenial version of the Colt Magnum Carry.

Smith & Wesson D-frames.

A Kahr MK9 with a 1911-type safety

DA/SA versions of Para's pistols

DAO models which allow a second strike

Rohrbaugh R-9

Colt Pocket Nine that works.

[Nightcrawler]

Um, Alan, those last few aren't revolvers. :p

[Standing Wolf]

I'd like a current production Colt Python as good as the old Pythons.

Yeah, well, I'd like to have a money tree in my back yard, too.

[Alan Fud]

You're correct Nightcrawler. I mis-read the question. Sorry. Here's my revised list ... A Centenial version of the Colt Magnum Carry.

Smith & Wesson D-frames.

[George Hill]

A 500S&W with a 2.5 inch barrel.
:what:

[4v50 Gary]

Stereo Revolver as seen on Get Smart. I'm wondering if two break tops can be mended to one common grip frame. The problem is that you need two triggers or that the two triggers are going to have to be connected.

[makarov1989]

I want to see a Titanium Bodygaurd snubbie. I probably still wouldn't buy it but I don't see why they don't have it out yet.

[caz223]

657 2 1/2"-3 1/2" n-frame snubby.
10mm 2 1/2"-3 1/2" n-frame with moonclips.
Basically, more N-frame snubbys.

[V-fib]

Ruger Sp101 3" DAO in 9mm non ported. :cool:

[10-Ring]

A blue 640 from S&W!

[Poohgyrr]

There's a bunch (technical term). :):):)

That Centennial Magnum Carry sounds great.
A 4" eight shot PC M27, and a 5 screw PC 3.5" while we're at it.
3" & 4" PC M24's.
A 4" & 8" PC M29.
A blued 2" steel K frame adjustable sight PC .38 Special.
A PC blued 3914 (um yeah it's not a real gun, but I want it :neener: :)

Did I say all these should be blued??? And have Trijicons up front too.

EDITED: CA legal too, or recall more and change the laws. Or both. :cuss:

[M58]

3" 5-shot L-frame .41 mag in deep blue by S&W.

2" 5-shot J-frame airweight 9mm with M547 extractor.

Produce the M547 3" in stainless.

3" M57

3" M58

5" M57

[Hal]

- I'll 2nd (3rd ,4th or 5th) the idea of a hyper-bore round chambered in a shorter barrel. (.454, .480, .500)Be a real Fitz-full ;)

[dcloudy777@aol.com]

Caz223... Lew Horton did a run of 3" 610s. A friend of mine has one for IDPA SSR. It is SWEET!! I don't know how you'd find one (his isn't for sale, I already tried), but they are out there.

DanO

[Gabe]

Something that fires 20 gauge shotshells.

[WESHOOT2]

I, too, wish Ruger would produce a 10mm GP.

I'm okay with my 5.5" Redhawks, but a factory 4" would be real nice, too.
(I have all four hole sizes.)

[Mastrogiacomo]

Affordable and well made Colt Pythons in blue. More blued guns in general within a reachable price range....

[farscott]

1) S&W M27 with five-inch barrel, six-shot cylinder, checkered top strap. Yeah, the one they used to make.

2) S&W K-22 Masterpiece in stainless and blue without the full-lug barrel

3) S&W M63 Kit Gun

4) Stainless S&W 9mm revolver with extractor system from M547

5) Colt New Service in .44 Special and .45 Colt

[Tommy Gunn]

I would like to see H&R to resume production of their 999 Sportsman revolver.

[Chindo18Z]

5" Blue S&W Model 57 with original tapered barrel
4" Stainless S&W Model 58 round butt
5" Stainless Webley MK V or MK VI in .45 ACP & proofed for +P loads and with original style birds head grips

All three recessed for moon clips AND normal loading (single shells or speed loaders)

[4v50 Gary]

A 4" GP in 10 mm? Sure! Additionally I wish Ruger would make a "beavertail" hammer like that used on the Colt Python.

[Black Snowman]

Mataba low-barrel revolver that's NOT an automatic.

[valnar]

1) Smith 686 Plus heavy barrel, but standard shrouded ejector - not full lug.
ie. inbetween a regular 686 and the mountain gun version.

2) J-frame 3" barrel equivalent of the 940. A 5-shot 9mm.

Not so far-fetched as might once have been believed. In this (http://www.unitedforums.com/forums/gunforums/cf/Forum7/HTML/000403.html) thread on another forum I provide a quote and link to the original statement earlier this year that suggests that the guy in charge over a Colt, referred to as "the General", is interested in the New Services.

[Hutch]

A reliable Airweight 940. (942?). An airweight M65 3" RB. An airweight stainless K-frame .22lr w/ .22M conversion cylinder, available in 3, 4, 6.5 and 8.375 inch bbls. An N-frame Mountain Gun in .45C w/ conversion ACP cyl. hmmmmm... another vote for a .45ACP version of the 296, a big Centennial. <fingers drumming...> A stainless M43 (22 Kit gun, lightweight).... Have to give this more thought. Hope this thread has legs...

[RCL]

I would like to see Ruger build a 5 shot Bisley in .500 Linebaugh. :D

[Cosmose]

i would like smith and wesson to come out with the model 10 in a centennial version with a 3 or 4 inch barrel. i think it would be ideal for self defense.:)

[Shane]

GP 100 in .22 LR with adjustable sights, choice of 4" or 6" barrel

Bisley Special Edition, Stainless, 5.5" barrel, .357 magnum

Re-introduce the .357 magnum Redhawks...

GP 100 chambered in .44 Special +P (5-shot), 3" and 4" barrel options.

[Tommy Gunn]

That is some good news.

[willyjixx]

the medusas again

an this time with all the 45 variants

an one with the 22s

[MarineTech]

I would like to see Smith and Wesson build a 6 shot 4" N-Frame .357 Magnum just like the old Model 28 Highway Patrolman, except in Stainless.

All that extra steel gives you a heck of a lot of confidence when doing load development or when carrying around very stout .357 Magnum loads.

I also wish that ALL the manufacturers would go back to leaf springs in DA revolvers instead of coil springs. I don't think there's a revolver out there with a coil spring that can match the smooth pull of a leaf spring without major gunsmithing.

[JShirley]

Like Joe Hatley and M58 said, 3" 5-shot L-frame .41 mag. I'd even settle for a 3.3" bl. :p

I'd love to see an N-frame 5-shot .454/.45 Colt, 5" bl.

I wish Ruger would make a .45 Colt or .41 Mag Blackhawk or Vacquero with a swing-out cylinder instead of a loading gate. I'd get one in 3.5" and use it for daily carry! :)

[VictorLouis]

L-frame 696 .44 Special in a 4" Mountain Gun configuration....

Ditto above in .41 Magnum....

J-frame M63 .22LR with a 3" bbl. and a partridge(or pinned-in) front sight...

K-frame M617 .22LR in a 4" MG configuration...
(That one I'm having created for me....I HOPE. :) )

SBH in 4&3/4" with fluted wheel and alloy grip-frame...

[Dr.Rob]

New Service 1917 Army repro from Colt would be cool, in stainless, though, but avilable with a black finish.. say with two cylinders 45 acp AND 45 Colt. better yet 44 magnum.

Still, a .357 version would be very nice too.

Would still like to see the DS and Magnum Carry back in the line up, though I've already got a Magnum Carry.

From SW I'd like 6 shot 2 inch unported 45acp revolver. No good reason, just think it would be cool.

Still think Uberti/Pietta/etc. could make a nice repro 1878 New Frontier or 1877 Lightning/Thunderer DA revolver. 38 special and .45 Colt (since no one shoots the .41 Colt anymore) Uberti has made some very NICE replicas, so why not these too?

[dhoomonyou]

A Glock Revolver 6 shot. 20 ounces.
3 inch barrel, same tenifer, same trigger, no moon clips needed.
caliber 9mm & 40. Night Sights.
Price???$350-400

[Serpico]

More .22 choices....and with 9 shot cylinders like the Taurs 94 ...3.5 inch barrels with nice sights would be nice too...kindof like what Hutch said..

[Jeff OTMG]

1. S&W scandium frame Bodyguard in 9mm with a short cylinder and set back barrel. 349SC?

2. S&W stainless steel, 6 shot, L-frame, square butt, 4" barrel, 9mm revolver with a short cylinder and the barrel set back, adjustable sights, using full moon clips. The ultimate IDPA revolver class gun.

[W Turner]

Taurus:
9mm snubbie.....oops already done!
5 shot 10mm

SW:
9mm snubbie in all frame materials
310- scandium framed 10 mm six shot
.32 HR mag snub with an aluminum frame
5 shot scandium framed .45acp snub

Colt:
{shrugs} no preference, never really warmed up to Colt revos

Ruger:
GP100 in 10mm and .41 mag
investment cast-aluminum framed snubbies to help with weight
Super Redhawk in .500 SW ......it would be stronger than the SW version.........:what:

I'm not much of an Anime geek, and even if I were I think "Trigun" is pretty darn silly. But still.

Top-break action, shoots from the bottom... Just plain cool looking.

No particular reason.

[Andrew Wyatt]

a j-frame sized piece with the frame and cylinder shortened for autopistol rounds like .40 S&W.

[Nightcrawler]

Okay, some more:

Smith & Wesson

First, I'd like to see runs of revolvers without the internal locks that allow them to be sold in places like NJ and CA. They do make some without the locks still, I've heard.

As for specific models:

-4" Scandium N-Frames, verymuch like the 329PD, but in .45 Colt, .45ACP, .41 Magnum, 10mm, and .357 Magnum. (The .357 could be a seven or eight shot, even.)

-Bring back the big bore, 5-shot L-framed guns with 2 and 3 inch barrels. .44 Special, of course, but also .45ACP, .45 Colt, and .41 Magnum.

-Start making blued guns again. People like that stuff.

[Maddock]

N-frame Centennial, with a round butt and a skinny barrel.
In 2” and 4”.
In Blue.

[Prodigalshooter]

GP100 in 9mm, 3" full lug barrel.
S & W Model 66 in 9mm, same barrel as above
and set up for moon clips of course.
And I'd like to see S & W 625 in 3" configuration again, at sorta reasonable price:rolleyes:

Also, I second Nightcrawler's wishes for blued guns and the big bore Scandiums!

[hoppinglark]

Dear S&W,
If you are listening.
I WILL buy a .357 built on the 500S&W's frame if you make it.
Thank You.

(I need somthing to go with my J-frame)

[RWK]

Three-inch, 10mm, GP-100 (or, regularly, 610)

[PawDaddy]

I would like to see ALL revolvers made WITHOUT the internal locks! Do away with the safeties that are on some of the single-actions as well!
