Easy peasy, I think about this stuff ALL the time.
California legal S&W 1006. No other changes, except make a 1911 style thumb safety optional.
And from here on out, lets just assume these will all be PRK legal, shall we? :banghead:
Reintroduce the S&W 639. I don't really care for the 3rd series grips all that much, but even a 3906 would be nice. Some of us would like full size but thin 9mm handgun. Make a 1911 style thumb optional.
A 1911 truly scaled around the 9mm cartridge. Or someone start making the old Star BM with ambi safeties, good steel and good fitting. Or STI should make their LS with a 9mm sized mag well and grip. That would be cherry!!!!
S&W revolvers without MIM parts. I will go along with the lock if I must, but please change the frame shapes back to the original style. The extra material in K and L frames around the rear sight just irks me no end.
Colt to reintroduce the Detective Special in .38, 9mm, .32 Magnum.
Ruger to trim the GP100 just a bit, so it is sleeker, like a Security Six. The darn things are just too bulky to me. Or conversely, leave 'em be and chamber 'em for the 10mm Ruger Rimmed, a new proprietary cartridge that is simply the 10mm auto with a rim.
Someone needs to make a 1911 without MIM, that is properly fitted, especially as regards extractors, feed ramps, and safeties. I hear too many horror stories of NEW guns that don't feed, don't extract, don't plain work. Hey, if y'all are gonna jump on the 1911 band wagon, make sure you know what you are doing.:banghead:
A SIG P225 with the trigger guard of a 228/229. I know, I know, there is the 239, but I don't like it's guard. As long as we are at it, offer a choice of steel or aluminum frames.
Since we are busy modifying German guns, someone needs to offer a CNC Luger. No real changes except there should be a slightly enlarged version as well, chambered for 10mm, .38 Super, and what the heck, 7.62x25! And ambi safeties!
Yeah, that brings something else up, a 1911 in 7.62x25. Perhaps a Star based design, to eliminate the grip safety, if it wouldn't horrify the 1911 crowd TOO much.
Hey Ruger! You introduced the new smaller framed New Vaquero, so where are the Bisley and Sheriff Model versions? And lets get with it. Bills gone, make a darn .44 Special for gosh sakes! Have you seen how many Bowen, Gallagher, Clements, Linebaugh, et al, have turned out? You have .44 barrel stock, you have P sized frames, get with the program.
And for goodness sake, make some smaller self shuckers, okay Ruger? What the heck, everything you guys make are the super economy size! how about a smaller 9mm or .45 ACP. Or even, gasp, a .380 pistol!!
Shall I continue?
