Well, another lazy Saturday afternoon. I was poking around on my computer, and found Beretta's stock picture of theirs 92FS. Being bored, I decided to "re-make" it, to my specs. What I came up with was best thing (IMO) I could ever use for HD, target shooting, carry (openly only, unfortunately), have as a BBQ/court/church gun, and present to my grandkids.

The Beretta 100FS

Specifications
- Caliber: 10mm Auto
- Barrel: 7" Brushed chrome
- Capacity: 14 rounds
- Grips: Mahogany (or some other pretty wood) ;) sub-contracted to Hakan
Pek, with 24 carat gold medallion bearing the Beretta logo
- Finish: Blue with brushed chrome appointments
- Other: 1911-style wide spur hammer, DA/SA, no safety, Novak sights

Granted, it looks like a bastard child of a P-38 and a Desert Eagle. Granted, it'll never be made (unless I win the lottery and pay through the nose up-front to Beretta), but hey--it's a nice dream. :) Even the "no safety" issue would bar its production... but it's something I've never liked on the Beretta, and just had to remove.

So what dream handguns do y'all wish you had? And please, please, post pics. I'm a visual person, pictures are more interesting than words, and besides... you can show off your skills. :D

My desire is pretty simple compared to you guys. I want a S&W 510 with a 5" barrel, no lock, and no MIM in it. What is a 510? Simple really, a blued 40/10mm 6 shot revolver on the L frame with adjustable sights.

Why do I want this? To long load 200 grain 40 cal bullets to 130 power factor, hook them into full moon clips, and head out for the closest USPSA match!!!!

Eventually I will buy a 610 which is the stainless equivalent of what I really want, but IMO Dave Sample has a point when he says stainless has an 'evil mojo' to it. I don't want stainless but to get the competition gun I want I am going to have to do it or spend the GNP of a small third world country getting 'my' gun built. I'll take evil mojo over debt to end all debt.......

Small dreams are as realistic and likely as big dreams, but my desire is pretty straight forward.
 
Call me hopelessly impractical, but I've always wanted a black powder/percussion automatic revolver, maybe in stainless steel.
 
There was a photo-manip awhile back of a CZ-52 with slide and barrel shortened to about a 3" - 3.5" barrel...
 
I'd really like to see a Sig-Sauer P220 and P239 with a single action trigger and a manual safety. Actually, I'd love to see many DA/SA guns with an option for single action and a manual safety.
 
DA/SA XD with decocker, or just a DAO XD.

A 1911 in 7.62x25.

Anything with more than 10 rounds in CA :confused:
 
I think a DA/SA, cartridge loaded LeMat revolver would be nice. Nine shots, and a M203-style sliding barrel thing to load the shotgun barrel. They start making those puppies, I'm gonna be the first in line :D . FWIW, the LeMat was a 9-shot cap-and-ball revolver with a 16 ga. shotgun barrel as the axis for the cylinder, used in the Civil War by JEB Stuart and Stonewall.
 
a 22 pistol with a really high cap mag. like 20+ easily done on a regular frame. just apparently no one else wants one
That's a pretty good idea. I never really thought about it, but does anybody know why all the conversion kits (i'm thinking 1911s and the CZ Kadet Kit) have single stack mags? There's got to be enough room to fit a .22lr doublestack mag in a magwell designed for single stack .45 or doublestack 9mm mags.
 
Really, the technology exists for a colonial "smart gun" such as:

A camera and gyroscopic position/orientation sensor could pipe a virtual red beam onto a monocular see through eyepiece. Basically you'd see a red beam projecting out from the gun that only exists for you, the shooter. This would be best for 'short range work'. For long range hit a button and close your other eye and you have a scoped view with 4x mag and a build in laser rangefinder/BDC, lower the ROF to 60 rpm and you could lay down accurate fire out to ~500 yards... retaining accuracy from the stedi-cam mount of course.

Now make the whole unit out of magnesium, polymer, titanium, and carbon fiber to bring the total mass of the unit down to 40 pounds. 40 pounds sounds like a lot, but with most of the mass being borne by the back and shoulder harness, you could go all day with it on.

not to mention how cool it would sound... <smart gun sound>
