A Ruger Redhawk chambered in either .445 supermag, .50AE or .480Ruger with a 5-shot cylinder to offset the cylinder index notches between chambers rather than on top of them.

A Ruger GP100/SP101 frame that shoots 6x.22LR from a 4" barrel.

A .480Ruger lever action rifle. To go with the 5-shot redhawk in .480.

Are you listening, Ruger?

More single-stack, THIN 9mm compacts that aren't striker fired (CZ, do you hear me?).

If any of these come out this year, I will buy them sight-unseen.
 
Two SW revolver types:

A 942 , or 639 lightweight 9mm snubbie with a reliable 547 type extractor.

A K frame SS 9mm with similar extractor.
 
Ruger P345 in 9mm.
Companies to start doing more old guns like they have been doing with 1911's.
Springfield 1911's in 9mm with a choice of carbon steel insead of just stainless.
 
Updated CZ52; hi capacity, good sights and ergonomiuc controls. Maybe with a 5 inch barrel.
5 inch barrel length offered as standard for GP 100's
Steyr GB put back into production
HK P9S in both calibers back in production; 5 inch barrel options and updated magazine capacity.
Sigpro offered with adjustable sights and longer barrels ( thibnk of it as an economy "Sport" version)
Practical bolt actions ( like the Savage Scout, with both a stripper clip guide and 5 & 10 round magazine options).
Factory options in both .45 Super and .400 Cor bon;maybe more .40 to ,357 Sig offerings.
 
Easy. Turn all the calendars at S&W back to 1957.

Damn fine year for cars, too.

Not bad for girls, either.

I think Frank Sinatra nailed in in "It Was A Very good Year".:p
 
Replicas of the Lightning/Thunderer in double action. Ditto 1878 Colt New Frontier double action.

More Colts.. revolvers as well as autos.

Modern C-96 replica you can shoot.
 
First of all, as Otony asks
... a 1911 without MIM, that is properly fitted, especially as regards extractors, feed ramps, and safeties...
and I'd add: High-end, full sized (5") 1911s from ALL makers without the stinkin' front cocking serrations and with arched mainspring housings standard.

More production 1911s from all makers in .38 Super, especially in bright stainless and nickel finishes.

As another poster, Dienekes, mentioned, for S&W to turn the clock back to 1957 ... For me that means also REAL BLUED REVOLVERS ... and for S&W to stop using the cheesy lookin' clear-coated aluminum that flakes and peels on its stainless J-frames.
 
An overgrown CZ chambered in .50 AE. More exactly, take a Tanfoglio Witness compact 10mm/.45 and scale it up 20%. Only major change would be a double recoil spring system.

IMO, this would solve the underpowered defensive handgun issue once and for all (at least for those of us with fairly large hands).
 
A Ruger GP100 with a 5 shot .44 Special chambered cylinder... could easily be done on the GP100 frame I think, just need a bigger barrel...
 
a Glock with a 1911 grip angle. :)
an XD with better finish.
a high cap XD in 10mm, 9x23 or 7.62x25.
a Ruger p series pistol in 10mm, 9x23 or 7.62x25.
a stronger Schoefield revolver.
Bring on the Ruger 10/22 pistol in full production (Briley's?).
a Beretta M21 or Bobcat with extractor.
 
Scandium K frame model 366 in 357 magnum.

627PC9 8 shot moon clipped 9mm N frame with short cylinder, 5 inch heavy barrel. Should be the ultimate off the shelf ICORE gun and would play well in IPSC/USPSA Production Division.

A Glock with A 1911 grip angle and factory sights that work.
 
CZ PCR single stack 9mm DA/SA with manual safety.

S&W I frame 9mm, scandium frame, steel cylinder and NO LOCK!

S&W scandium .357 K frame with a four inch barrel, steel cylinder and NO LOCK!
 
Longbow said:
I think the Colt Mustang already did that.

Yep, but the Mustang looked "wrong" to me in some way, while the Llama looked "right." It seems to me that the Mustang was a bulkier looking pistol.

Oh, even if I saw one on the shelves, I'd probably pass it up anyway. :D
