I would not be surprised to see more 380. revolvers.
Howdy
Like these?
These are chambered for 44 Russian. That's why one of them says Russian Model on it. Merwin Hulbert never chambered any of their revolvers for 45 Colt.

don't hate me
Ha the April Fools Revolver. I actually like it. Feels like something id see in the Gears of War or Fallout video games.

Nah. Beaumont-Adams or Tranter. Hanging the hammer on the side of the gun is just plain silly.Please don't banish me to the BP board, but, you guys said revolver and I want a quality reproduction Kerr.

My own wish list? A remade S&W K-32. Preferably with modern adjustable sights (that means adjustable for width as well as windage and elevation). Fast-twist barrel for wadcutters.
A Merwin & Hulbert replica third model army in 45 LC. 7.5” barrel.
I'd buy a Pocket Army with the parrot's beak grip, a folding hammer, and the extra 7.5" barrel to go with the 3.5". I'd want it in a traditional caliber, like 44 Russian or 44 WCF.
Of course I'd shoot nothing but black powder hand loads through it so the powers that be would have to ban me to the black powder section. I'd be fine with that as that's about all I want to shoot anymore. (smile)
Howdy Again
Like this? This one is the 2nd Model, meaning it is an open top with scoop flutes. Made sometime between 1881 and 1883, all the records burned up a long time ago. This one is chambered for 44-40 (44WCF). They did make them with folding hammer spurs, although I have only seen photos of the Pocket Army with a folding hammer on the double action models. This style of grip is called the Skull Crusher grip, for obvious reasons. And yes, I only shoot it with cartridges loaded with Black Powder. By the way, the ones that came with two barrels were very rare.

If you look at the top-of-the-line Olympic target pistols, the rear sight notch can have the width increased or decreased to suit the shooter. Either through replacement or through mechanical adjustments. If you look at a pair of iron sights, there's a light bar - front sight - light bar ratio. On the typical American-made target pistol, that ratio is about 1:4:1, sometimes 1:5:1...and the light bars are narrow. On an Olympic-grade pistol, the ratio will be 1:2:1. Big front sight, wide light bars...good for all conditions. Good for all shooters.Howdy
Don't understand what you find objectionable about the sights on a K-32. Adjustable for width? That's a new one on me.
To get that, they'd have to change the lock work -- specifically move the bolt stop to the right, to prevent compromising the chamber walls with the bolt stop notch.Back to the top on this one...
I want a single action 45 Colt with original Colt lockwork (including a hammer mounted firing pin), as strong as a Ruger, with a Ruger Bisley grip, and adjustable sights.
