Designs You Would Like To Make A Comeback

Mr. Mosin · Oct 20, 2021

As the title says... what are some handgun designs that you would like to see make a big comeback in the market ?

In regards to specific models, I’d love to see Sig bring the P239 back into production in its traditional DA/SA format.

In regards to generalities, I’d absolutely adore if a reputable company (looking at you NAA) would revive the “fixed cylinder”, double action, centerfire, small bore (.32, .38) revolvers; and the centerfire small bore spur trigger top breaks.

What’s your “wants” to see revived on the gun market ?

Remington Model 8
Webley Mark VI

Why? Are you going to buy one? Or is this just another talking point thread?

The Whitney Wolverine in metal.

Just a talking thread....

Affordable new production Colt 1903 and Colt 1908 would be great.

OK. I thought for a minute there you were being allowed to get a new gun. Oh well.

If its just another fantasy thread I guess I would wish for a new K-32. That I could afford.

These would be interesting in an updated form. The Kimber Solo had the right lines and presumably correct modern internals. Didn’t fare well though. I thought it was a neat gun for the very reason it vaguely resembled the 1903 and 1908.

REAL S&W revolvers. Not cheap reproductions.

cslinger · Oct 20, 2021

P7M8 maybe modernized a bit. Still a squeeze cocker though. Maybe stack and a half mag for say 12 or 13 rounds in the M8sh envelope.

The P7 is always my first thought when questions like this come up. I fully understand the economics just won’t work but what a design it is.

I’m afraid that’s what we’re stuck with. I’d love to see quality new production Colt SAA’s under $1k, Pythons under $1k, and the re-issue of a 3” Mdl 13 Smith... but none of those are gonna happen.

I'd like to see full sized S&W break tops with the benefit of modern steel allowing them to offer it in magnum calibers.

Oh, did I mention at a reasonable price?

the old Vaquero

NIGHTLORD40K · Oct 20, 2021

Savage automatic pistols, scaled up into 9mm and .45, and down into .22.

danez71 · Oct 20, 2021

BHP full size and compact.

DeepSouth · Oct 20, 2021

I can think of a few I’d like to disappear but I honestly can’t think of anything that’s discontinued that I’m just dying to have.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner…in my humble opinion.

I would love it if Colt would recreate the series 70 Combat Gov’t.

You mean a P7M13?

Yes, wish they'd bring this back. Figure out how to plastic it up a bit to lighten (small, but DENSE). Friend had an M8, I shot it plenty, and have briefly shot a PSP and an M13. If at normal gun prices I'd absolutely get one of these and if I still liked it (tastes and techniques change, it's been 20+ years) I'd carry it (with RDS and WML) daily even with the drop in capacity. Worth it.

Not at the collector prices they go for now though. Yeeeesh.

.45 Colt Anaconda for me please.

Nope I have a 13. Was thinking more along the lines of going thin stack and a half to get to 10-12 I. The M8/PSP envelope.

All of this is moot of course because it’s neither cost effective nor do they have those engineers with the expertise.

A P239 would be a gun that I'd be excited to come back and willing to spend what they would likely cost. Most of the other designs I'd like to see come back I can't say I'd be willing to pay for.

Skylerbone · Oct 20, 2021

All I really want, apart from most of the above is a U22 carbine kit. Always sold out when in production and I never see them for sale used.

I wish the SigPro 2022 was still at the introductory price of $399, always meant to buy several. I fear nothing on our want list would ever be sold at my price point.

somethingbenign · Oct 20, 2021

A H&R 999 or similar top break 22lr would also be something I'd be willing to spend the money on if the assurance of accuracy was there. I would love competing in some of the local rimfire matches with a revolver and a top break is just the right level of class.
