Fantasy time: What do you wish for?

[Zaydok Allen]

I think we did this a few years ago, but trends, interests, and forum members change. So let's just have fun.

What handguns do you wish was made that doesn't exist and has never been produced? Let's try to keep it to reasonably possible guns, not absurd could never happen guns.

For revolvers, I want a stainless half lug GP100 chambered in 41 magnum, with a 5 inch barrel.

For autoloaders I want a Sig Saur P227 Legion in all steel, chambered for 10mm. Standard barrel length, or a 5 inches. Fixed night sights.

I would REALLY like something on the order of a 7mm to 30cal, rimmed, PPC/Grendel variant on a BFR long cylinder with a 10-14” barrel. Even better in a double action with moon clips. Haven’t ran the dims, but maybe something on a 45-70 or 500 case could be appropriate. Ideally something with a tensioned 3pc barrel asst so I can set my own b/c gap and change my own barrels.

Lots of moving parts to make it even remotely possible, and really not feasible, but if we’re talking fantasy time, that’s where I am... gimme something on the order of 140-180grn spitzers, with a little more case capacity and speed than a 44mag wildcat, get up around 2300-2500fps out of a large format revolver.

I always thought it would be nice to have a modern compact pistol in 7.62x25.

A Glock with a 19 frame and a 17 slide.

That at least is very easy to have. Just cut the handle on the 17 down. It's easy to do yourself or if you aren't handy with that sort of thing there are several companies who can do it for you. My carry gun for years was a 19 with the handle cut down to take G26 mags.

For me, I'd like to have a CZ 75 in 10mm.

Something like this

The Kimball .30 Carbine pistol. This ill fated design was a delayed blowback, and really needed to be a proper locked breech. But a 30 carbine semi auto would be a hoot! Not really practical...but the fireball alone would be enough to put a smile on my face

I share your wishful thinking on a GP100 in .41 Magnum with a half lug 5" barrel.

Would love to see a Ruger Security Six in .357 Magnum with a 4" or 5" full lug barrel; something like the customized Cougar which had a Colt Python barrel and a Ruger Security Six frame.

While we're at it I wouldn't mind a Colt CCO in .38 Super.

For me, I'd like to have a CZ 75 in 10mm.

They might need to use the 97 frame, but I agree. Would be nice to see them put out something to compete with Tanfoglio's 10mm offerings.

 

[Pat Riot]

I would love to see a Glock .22 LR and one in .22 magnum. The .22 LR first, please.

I would love to see Ruger make that 8 shot Redhawk .44 magnum with a proper magnum barrel, perhaps 6” or longer.

A new python

 

[TomJ]

The M&P 2.0 in 10mm, or as a runner up the P320 in 10mm. With the release of the XDM in 10mm I hope more companies will see the market for it and give us more options.

 

[kozak6]

A completely boring and ordinary .22 break action pistol. Except, affordable and 2018 production. Not an antique. Not a pricy target pistol. Not some silly $600 T/C conversion.

No one has tried to make anything like that in at least 50 years, as far as I can tell.

 

[cheygriz]

Two, really. A new Ruger Redhawk 7 1/2 inch in .357 magnum.

a Glock 20, with 6 or 7 1/2 inch barrel in 9X25 Dillon

(Then again, maybe that Redhawk in a nine shot .327 Fed, Mag!)

 

[someguy2800]

A 30 carbine 1911 with a double stack 15rnd magazine

A 5 shot 10mm auto 5” barrel sp101 revolver

6” barrel S&W model 69

6” barrel sp101 22lr with browning buckmark sights.

An LC40s, and an LC22s

A new production aluminum frame Star BM with a smaller grip size, ramped barrel, and Novak sights

A colt 1903 pocket hammerless in 9mm

An Ammo can that never ran out and a dog that never gets old

 

[jar]

A spare StarUltraStar in 9mm.

I second that motion.

 

[MedWheeler]

A Glock revolver, so that it will be totally appropriate for someone to jump into a revolver thread and shout "Get a Glock!"

[Fine Figure of a Man]

A Glock revolver, so that it will be totally appropriate for someone to jump into a revolver thread and shout "Get a Glock!"

Or rattle on about how they aren't really perfect and the lack of a manual safety is going cause you to shoot yourself in the butt.
P.S. hate the grip angle

 

[Charlie98]

For revolvers, I want a stainless half lug GP100 chambered in 41 magnum, with a 5 inch barrel.

Pretty close to mine... a 4" L-frame .41, 5- or 6-shots.

There are a lot of guns that are gone that I'd like to see back... the Automag, the Bren Ten, the HiPower, the P7

 

[375supermag]

An affordable single action .475 Linebaugh by Ruger.

 

[cheygriz]

An old H&R 999 .22 revolver, but built with the quality of a SIG or Glock.

 

[Pat Riot]

I would love to see Ruger make that 8 shot Redhawk .44 magnum with a proper magnum barrel, perhaps 6” or longer.

Quoting myself here. No, I am not weird or overly narcissistic

I discovered, after making the above post, that Ruger released the model 5060 recently in 2018. It’s an 8 shot .357 magnum with a 5.5” barrel. I got one wish granted
Now I just have to find a way to buy one.

I wanted an S&W TRR8 but can’t see justifying $1250 for one. The Ruger can be found for $750.

Still wishing for a Glock .22 LR

 

[bassjam]

I don't have any revolver wishes. I would love to have a da/sa SIG P938, or I'd even take a similarly sized single-stack CZ RAMI.

 

[SteadyD]

Kimber K6s with an alloy frame to knock the weight down to about 16 oz or so and lighten it up in the pocket.
