A gp100 with rails on it like a poor mans korth supersport. Call it the warhawk. bonus points for a matching 10 shot in 22lr

A redhawk 8 shot in 357 mag with a rail on the top for scopes and full underlug.

An accurate 6 shot 22 magnum model 617

An accurate 617.

Single shot model 3s in 22lr, 22 mag, and 38 special.

Singleshots that have the back half of a vaquero, but that dont look like crap like the freedom arms singleshots do. (Sorry, not sorry)

Im sure I'll think of more dumb ideas that would bankrupt companies. :rofl:
 
I've said this before in other threads. Bring back the Ruger Sixes. Blued, stainless and polymer. I know I always said that I'm not a fan of plastics. Then I got a LCRx in nine millimeter and love it for a pocket gun.

And Ruger needs a midsize revolver. Make mine a nine millimeter with a hammer and a three inch barrel.

Been saying it for years. But a updated pistol in 762x25 or 9x18. Very fond of those rounds. Modern pistol with rails and night sights. Striker fired and more then 8 rounds

Oh yes please! And maybe a modern carbine for the 7.62x25 as well. Honestly for the pistol it wouldn't have to be striker fired but not a bad idea.
#2 New manufacture M1 Garands. Enough said.
#3 A .25 ACP pistol that has a barrel longer than two inches. Phoenix Arms does not count.

Yeah... it probably ain't ever happening. :(
 
I have ALWAYS wanted to see some kind of Glock rifle. Imagine the general look of a Glock but scaled up to some kind of PCC or some kind of purpose built SMG.

Also an AK style rifle redesigned for a top mount rail (not a railed dust cover) and a bunch of other ideas I stole from the AR15 OR the AK47 that would have been invented if it was first made in 1974
 
Something like a Glock 42 or Ruger LC380 with a double stack 15 or so round magazine.

Why should the recoil shy or those with weak hands be limited to 6 or 7 rounds? With a .380 you would have even more need for high capacity.
 
One thing that has percolated in the back of my head, while definable as a gun, but yet is not a firearm exactly, is a kind of rapid fire compressed air gun.
A hopper containing appropriate size ball bearings feeding down a tube (Think hosed funnel like for transmission fluid) feeding from the 12 o'clock position into a receiver. In the receiver is a rotating cylinder of metal with a hole bored in it slightly larger than the ball bearings. The cylinder is spun by an electric motor or even a hand crank. at 3 o'clock is a barrel directly opposite a connection at 9 o'clock hooked to a 3,000 psi scuba tank.

Just sounds like fun.And with steel ball bearings a good magnet will help collect them from all over the range where they spewed.

I wonder when the transition from one man shops making everything to stockers buying locks from Golcher and barrels from Remington took place.

About 1750, maybe 1760. Locks, in particular, were imported. They were compact and value-dense.

In the Jacobite Rising of 1745-46, the Highlanders would strip captured guns of locks - because the lock was about half the total worth of the gun, but a lot more portable.

Question: what guns do you WISH they made?

It could be any platform and any caliber, but within the realm of reality (no plasma rifles in the 40 watt range)...

I'll go first...

1. I really wish they made an inexpensive S&W Schofield clone in .22lr/.22mag. It could be scaled down even. Basically think Heritage Rough Rider but a Schofield. It'd have a working ejector like the real deal when you pivoted it open. It'd be like a sub $200 gun. I know there is that H&R 999 sportsman handgun with the triangle barrel, which is really awesome, but I'd love an actual single action Schofield! Heck, it'd be awesome if they made a full size version in .357 mag...

2. While we're on the subject of break open revolvers (I'm obsessed with top break revolvers). It'd be awesome if someone made like a Webley Mk VI clone in .357 mag. Or it'd be REALLY cool if Ruger made a top break stainless GP100 with a 4" barrel, that'd be the ultimate revolver! I know break top revolvers aren't as strong as bill framed guns are, but I've got think with today's metallurgy and materials, I'm sure they could make a break top revolver in magnum calibers. They already make a schofield replica chambered 45 colt.

3. Speaking of Ruger revolvers, they should make a 6 round version of the SP101

4. Also, Ruger should make a lever action rifle. Maybe chambered in .357mag, (9mm would be cool too, if you could find flat point ammo) 44mag, 45 Colt, 30-30, and 45-70 gov't. It'd be stainless with an 18" barrel, side loading gate, slightly enlarged lever.

5. I would love it, and it would be so cool, if Kriss/Vector would make a rifle chambered in 308 that takes AR-10 mags. Put that recoil reducing/camming bolt system to good use. Start with 308, maybe to go a 6.5 Creed in the future. It'd be cool if they made one in 556/223 that took AR mags too.

6. More handgun options in 5.7, perhaps a Glock, M&P, and 1911 versions. Maybe some other rifles chambered in it.

7. More 10mm handguns and pistol caliber carbines. I know that hi point and Kriss each have a carbine in 10mm, I'm sure there are others too. But it be cool if they came out with a lever gun in 10mm. Ruger should come out with a 10mm semi auto other than a 1911.

9. These aren't guns, but a couple of wildcat cartridges I've thought of: a 10mm necked down 9mm, basically a 357 Sig with longer brass and thus more case capacity. What about 45acp necked down to 9 or 40? A revolver/lever action caliber to bridge the gap between 357 and 44-40 perhaps?

10. I don't know if they already make these, but either a 1911 with a polymer "lower", or a striker fired 1911. And maybe with that new "half stack" idea of Sigs to bring the capacity to 10-13. That would be awesome!

Let me know what you think of my list, some of it may actually already exist. And before anyone asks, "why would they bother making X?", because this is America, and we can!

I'm really curious to hear what's on your guys' lists!!! Let's hear your ideas!

#9, both have been done. The 10mm version is the 9x25 Dillon. It’s a real hot rod of a pistol. It is nearing 2000 fps from a 6” barrel in some of the lighter loads.

The .45acp version was done quite a long time ago. Known as the .38 Casull. Also called th .38/.45 Clerke.

As for what I’d like to see made... Not much that isn’t already being made. The average age of my firearms is probably near 70 or 80 years old, so very little new interests me. I’d like S&W to reintroduce the 3rd Gen pistols. Colt could remake the Python. Winchester, the 92, 95, the 52 and the 69. For BP, maybe a faithful reproduction of a Whitworth. Hexagonal bore and all. All of which would probably be out of my price range if produced today.

And if someone could make some pre-86 guns, that’d be great. M16, M2 Carbine, Stens, MP5, all of them, old and new. Just make them before 1986. And make enough to get the prices down to production costs, not the currently inflated market.

If I say it again will they take notice?

RUGER! Take my money! I want an LCRx with a 3" barrel in .327!

You could do it with your EXISTING PARTS! (Or awfully close)

Use your stainless frame core from the .357s, your .327 cylinder that you've already got, you've already got injection molds for a 3" LCRx, just put a .327 barrel in there and you will sell AT LEAST one (to me!).

Please. For Christmas. I've been a good boy!

Earlier than that.

The Tower in London and various shops in Birmingham were mass producing components as early as mid-17th century for others to fit-up into complete firearms. Birmingham was awash with specialized lock-smiths, barrel-smiths and fitting makers.

By the 1720s your big name "gunsmiths", were actually factories, with artisans specialized in the various tasks such as parts forging, barrel making, lock making, socking, and fitting up.
 
You know a Semi-Lewis gun would be kinda cool
