How about a 4" 7-shot .357 Redhawk?

IMHO, the only thing lacking in their revolvers is a nicer trigger. If there were a Ruger PC, I'd be interested in a Super Redhawk w/a tuned trigger....hmmmm

3" GP-100 in .44SPL & .45ACP (5-shot cylinder).

3" SP-101 in .22MAG (7-shot cylinder) & .32MAG w/ alloy frame (same as autos).

Super Blackhawk Hunter in .480 Ruger, .454 Casull, & .500 S&W Magnum w/ 5-shot cylinders.

An ACCURATE Mini-14/30.

Model 96 leverguns in .357, .41, & .480

Anything in titanium...:D

UPDATE: Mark II in .22 Magnum...:evil:

Bisley Hunter in .454 Casull/.45 Colt, and also comes with a .45 ACP cylinder. Wouldn't that be cool?

ss Redhawk 357 magnum, 5" barrel.

ss GP 100 7.5" barrel .357 maggie

ss GP 100 5" barrel, .22 LR

ss Redhawk 41 maggie, 5" barrel

ss .22 maggie sp 101, 3" barrel (6-shot)

Come out with a NEW semi-auto rifle design, and chamber it in .243 Win.

He was not interested in having any kind of " custom shop ".
His reasoning was there were many fine pistolsmiths out in the hinterlands who could do the finest of work and he was not about to take that work away from them.

Maybe they could produce stainless guns WITHOUT sharp edges you can shave with. Or maybe they make blued Mark II’s that are actually blued instead of PAINTED.

Don’t take me as a Ruger basher, I use many of their firearms. But they sure put out some roughly finished guns.

I'd love to see Ruger produce a compact, single-column mag 9mm along the lines of the S&W Model 908, et.al...maybe a down-sized P95-type pistol. For that matter, I guess they could do the same thing in .40 and/or .45ACP, too.

GP 100 4" in a 41 mag 5 shot

I would like to see a 44 Redhawk snubbie Magnaported and a 4 inch Redhawk 454 Cassull also Magnaported.:)

I had this thought earlier today...a 5 shot sp-101 w/ bobbed hammer in 45 acp. , a 10 shot GP 100 in 22lr and a 10/22 w/ machined parts and tunable trigger....now you're talkin ;)

An 8 or 9 shot GP100 in .32 Mag.

How about a Mini-14/XGI MKII in .308---.243--.260---7-08 priced at about $800-$850---to beat the pants off Springfields' overpriced offerings.

Such a move would probably put SA out of business---or force them to be competitive.

Competition is a good thing.

Where can I sign up...I'll take one Stainless .308 please.

A slicked up, lightened, and engraved version of the Vaquero would be nice. And how about an accurized, CC version of the polymer framed autos with a shorter barrel and grip.

How about a Super Redhawk that doesn't look like someone jammed a rifle barrel into the frame of a revolver.

They could put a GP100 profile barrel on that gun and it would look nice instead of weird.

JohnK
February 20, 2003, 10:23 PM
Super Redhawk with the frame extension milled off and a Redhawk barrel installed, and a 4" version offered.

A 5 or 6 shot 41 Mag GP100. A six shot is likely impossible but some Pythons were converted to 6 shot 41's so maybe it's possible with the GP.

A 6 shot 10 mm GP100 with full moon clips.

A 5 shot 45 Colt GP100 with all the current barrel length and sight options.

The Security Six/Speed Six line brought back!

UNCUSTOMIZE every one of its guns that comes their way for repairs(Or as they say "return to factory spec's)I would say they already have an UNCUSTOMIZE SHOP on the premisis.

Kor

I'll second the motion on the Speed-Six, preferably with the SP101-style grip stud and grips!

Actually, what I'd REALLY love to see would be a re-introduced Security-Six, in 9mm, with high-profile target-type or Ashley-type rear sight and gold bead/Hi-Viz front ramp sight - I can't help but think THAT would be the ULTIMATE IDPA REVOLVER.

If they don't want to resurrect the tooling for a Security-Six, I could be satisfied with a GP100 that shoots 6 moon-clipped rounds of 10mm Auto, or .38Super - or possibly a 7-8 shot moon-clipped .30Carbine...

I think a compact P-90 and compact P-95 would do just nicely!!!

Let's see...

A left handed M77 in .308/7-08/.260, and a left handed 77/22;
An adjustable sighted P90.
In revolvers, I saw something neat in the pictures from the shot show posted over on www.gunblast.com ; a GP-100 in the "target grey" finish like on the .454 and .480 SRHKs. It is a special run from a distributor.

seeker_two has both of my ideas covered: A 3" 44 Special GP100 with fixed sights and a Super Blackhawk Hunter in 454. I'd buy both of those.

For rifles, a 77VT in 6.5x284.

February 22, 2003, 01:31 PM
Just looked on the gunblast.com page This is pretty neat - a Bisley-based Hunter. I'd buy one in 44 Magnum and one in 454.

Maybe they could just go full-time grinding all the ugly off their centerfire semi-auto pistols....

How about a MkII that has a decent trigger?

MJRW
February 28, 2003, 02:08 AM
Something light? Yes, something light. Talking sub 18 oz.

Or a 3" and a 4" .44 redhawk and/or medium frame like a tealhawk or something.

By the way, anyone else seen any of those target gray or whatever GP-100s? Those are sweet. I want one.

GP-100 sized .22LR and .17HMR. Make it a 9 or 10 shot and in a 6" barrel length.

They need something to compete with the S&W 617 and the Taurus Trackers.

March 5, 2003, 03:49 AM
but i want to see a .22 version of the Bisley vaquero in blue, hit the streets as a cataloged item. i've seen the SS version that i think Davidson's has out and that's close but i like my "cowboy" style guns to be blue not looking like the cap guns i played with as a kid. (no offense to those who like ruger's bright SS guns, just not MY thing)

also where and when and in what calibers can i get the Bisley hunter??? i'm drooling already :D

bismark
March 5, 2003, 05:05 PM
Any gun that doesn't look like it was finished by a five year old. What they sall "blueing" is reprehensable.

I would also like to see a 17HMR GP100. Once again, blue the thing, and do it right.

How 'bout the Redhawk in .45 ACP in 4" & 5" tube lengths...

Or, a seven shot .357 GP-100...

Or, a 4" GP-100 in .22LR...

I like the idea of adjustable sights for the P-series autos...

And, of course, a PC carbine in .45 ACP....

4 " Redhawk in .45ACP/.45AR
4 " GP in 9mm
3 " GP with Adjustable sights.
GP in .22 LR
GP in .45ACP 5 shot.
A bolt action and lever action in .357.
Stainless Steel Convertable blackhawks in .357/9mm and 45LC/45ACP.

Are you listening Ruger???????

Yup.....I've been digging in the archives :rolleyes:


Anyways.....I wanna 4" or less GP100 chambered in .41 magnum and .44 spl - without having to pay an arm and a leg to get it!

Mini 14 magazines that hold more than 5 rounds?

Mini 14s with folding stocks?

:rolleyes:

December 27, 2004, 08:12 PM
Ill second the notion about a .45 acp and 10 millimeter gp100 with moon clips. ruger needs some moonclip fed revolvers. Id buy either in hart beat. was or is there a 9 milimeter sp101?

BlkHawk73
December 28, 2004, 12:24 AM
was or is there a 9 milimeter sp101?

There was a 9mm SP101. Also think there may have been a run of 9mm on either the Security Six or Speed Six frame as well.

LOL, notice no one mentioned anything about the semi-auto's?

I guess Ruger semi-auto's are lost causes...! :neener:

I suppose one could customize a P-series Ruger auto, but it begs the question of why.

I'd appreciate being able to send in my GP-100 for a clean barrel devoid of the "safety paragraph." I'd even sign a liability waiver for it. :evil:

For those of you who are loooking for such a thing.....the fixed-sight GP-100s are nearly identical to the old Speed Sixes. :D
