So, hypothetical scenario, you have a gun designer/engineer genie pop out of your new bottle of Slip 2000 as you open the cap. You can pick one new gun from any manufacturer, pistol, rifle, shotgun doesn't matter.

We will assume aftermarket support will be automatic (holsters, sights, optic mounts, etc)

Must be realistically feasible to be currently manufactured. (so no plasma rifles or lcp sized guns that magically hold 30 45acp rounds)

What are you having made for your own selfish desires?

I believe I would have CZ manufacture a new Hybrid stack CCW handgun with a lightweight alloy frame, striker fired, no external safety, 40 smith and wesson chambering, 4.5 lb consistent trigger with clean (as possible with striker fired) break. Around the same size as the Shield plus, with 9+1 capacity. 3.75'' barrel, optic cut, steel night sights. CZ ergonomics of course, with replaceable grip panels. 12 round extended mag option.

Lets hear what you guys would choose.
 
A large frame .327mag revolver with 10rds in it and rails on top and bottom for easy sight install and a light for home defense. NO LOCK if S&W were to do it.

Or, airweight revolver in 45LC.

Sooner, and likely to happen, is for Bond Arms to make their Stinger in .38.

I'd buy a stainless 38-44 "Outdoorsman" in a heartbeat if Smith started building them.

There's the stickler. While I'm sure Smith could build stainless 38-44 "Outdoorsman" revolvers if they wanted to, for economic reasons, I doubt it's "realistically feasible" for them to do so. I'm mean, I'm old enough to know that I'm a bit of an oddball when it comes to guns and gun stuff. So, I doubt there's much of a market for heavy duty 38 Special revolvers these days - if there ever was. ;)

By that, I just meant realistically able to be made, yours would be realistically able to be made... since we were dealing with a genie to start with, I didn't want the thread to become comments of things that were not within the realm of actual physics to produce.
 
A center-fire version of the LeMat, say maybe .38 for the slugs, and maybe .410 for the buckshot.

A modern, .22 iteration of the Lefaucheux.

I feel this would be interesting, and maybe a hit with a niche market. But what do I know.

Well, let's see...

I've been whining about a lack of production guns in .50 Special for years now. A blued Super Redhawk without the "snout" would be ideal, and a Bisley Blackhawk would be a perfect mate. Hell, I'd settle for a Redhawk chambered for .50 AE and cut for moonclips.

I'd like S&W to bring back the whole range of "pre war" guns, made just as they were - and with heavy emphasis on .44 Specials and .32 Longs, both target revolvers and fixed-sight fighting guns. I'd sign up for a K32, a Model of 1926 in .44 Special, a 4" Model 27, and a .38/44, and to hell with my credit rating.

I'd like Colt to bring back the first generation SAA.

And I'd like Ruger to offer the No. 1 in a slim, traditional British stalking rifle in a classic medium caliber, like .303 or .318 Westley Richards.
