Revolvers You’d Like To See Return

Mr. Mosin · Oct 28, 2021

After much success elsewhere, thought I’d do a revolver specific version here. What Revolver design, model, version would you enjoy seeing make a triumphant return ?

And before anyone says it “S&W like back then” is not acceptable.

My personal choice would be a steel framed Centennial Smith & Wesson in .38 Spl, with no lock, the standard 1-7/8” unshrouded barrel, and the old style wood panel grips; tricked out for carry. *GOOD* factory action, machined for moon clips, tritium/FO front sight, deformed.
In short, a Mdl 40 or 640 with no grip safety.

Colt Diamondback, particularly in 6" .22lr and .38 snub would be nice. I'd like to see some nickel plated snubs, too. Put factory wood on them and Tyler T grips. I'd like one in Python, please.

An American made 1851 Navy Colt percussion .36 clone that does not have to be worked on to correct manufacturing flaws.

I've had similar thoughts recently about past revolvers...
One that comes to mind has been described by many as the perfect revolver,
Handles great, shoots well, etc, etc.....
Smith Wesson 38/44, five inch barrel fixed sight.

Heck I would be happy if I could find a decent 41 mag. That isn’t so high that it’s floating over Stone Mountain. Preferably w a 6-7 in barrel.

Webley Top Breaks (any and all)
British Bulldog
MAS 1873 revolver

Ugly revolvers are my thing...

Tallball · Oct 28, 2021

An affordable Webley top-break in an easily available caliber. I'd be just fine with 38 special.

Hmmm!
Me thinks the return of the Colt Detective Special would be nice.

Smith and Wesson 65 Lady Smith

Lipsey Ruger GP100 5” .357

Make mine a Smith Model 24 with a 4" bbl...that's a .44 Special for the uninformed! A good alternate might be a Model 29 Mountain Gun without the infernal lock. They're about the same weight but the magnum adds some versatility for those tortured few who can withstand a full cylinder of 240 gr, full house magnums! But I'll be reasonable, and accept a 624 in place of the 24...but would appreciate the pre-Biden price. YMMv Rod

Basically it has returned seeing that the 2017 Cobra has a steel frame instead of alloy.

Oh, yeah! Except I'd want an adjustable rear sight.

No lock smith and wesson model 57

SterlingBullet · Oct 28, 2021

Taurus 450 in 45Colt in titanium or steel. Lightweight, smooth DA/SA, compact. Unbelievably low recoil for a big bore caliber in a small frame revolver.

A Model 24 would be nice to have but they are almost as rare as K-32/Model 16’s chambeted in 32S&WL.

I have a Model 24 Classic, close but not the same as the original Model 24’s.

The Model 624’s are nice revolvers and can satisfy the 44 Special itch.

cfullgraf · Oct 28, 2021

Not to sound like a broken record, but I’d like to see a K-32/Model 16 chambered in 32 S&WL.

While the originals are expensive, they are also more rare than hen’s teeth. I could buy one if I found one.

The 32 S&WL wadcutters are crazy accurate and it would be fun to have a good revolver to shoot them in.

Hondo 60 · Oct 28, 2021

Ruger Service Six, 357 in 4, 5 & 6" versions.
Blue & fixed sights

Pat Riot · Oct 29, 2021

I would like a new S&W model 17 with an 8 3/8” barrel.

Ruger Vaqueros on the original Vaquero frame.

Like this one??

ms6852 · Oct 29, 2021

A Schofield revolver and the U.S. firearms 12/22 revolver.

JCooperfan1911 · Oct 29, 2021

A Webley.

Even in .22. Preferably in caliber .38 or bigger.
