The 329PD is chambered in .44mag. The 325PD is chambered in .45acp, and may be my next gun. I am not sure why they would want to chamber anything in .45LC. I have a Model 25-5 in that caliber and it is a nice gun but lots of disadvantages.

I'd like to get a 1917 one of these days.. and a Centennial with the grip safety.
I don't own ANY SW's.
Several Colts though.

In general....
blue steel guns, with recessed chambers and pinned barrels... no internal lock and firing pins on the hammers.
And formally and publicly renounce the Clintonista deal. Just to make it official.

What are the "lots of disadvantages" of a steel framed model 25 in 45 Colt that would carry over to a lightweight model 25 in 45 Colt but not to one chambered in 45 ACP?

Scrap ALL the scandium, ultralite and aluminum stuff. Bring back quality, built and tuned by humans, Swiss watch accurate STEEL firearms. The first priority would be the reintroduction of the Triple Lock. Real steel, real wood, real sights, real accuracy and real world pricing. I figure $1500.00 for a genuine S&W.

Ditto to both!
More blued guns.
I would like to see some cowboy action wheel guns from S&W.
Bring back the 3 " .357 K-Comp's and offer them in .41 mag too.
Better stainless finishes!
For what you pay for a Smith, they should be offered with nice wood grips too. Although I like a Hogue Monogrip, I'm tired of seeing a $15.00 rubber grip on most all their revolvers.
Advantages of the .45acp:
1) Moon clips make for fast loading
2) Ammo is cheap and easily available
3) Many different factory loads for different situations
Advantages of the .45LC:
1) Its a cool old round, easy to reload since the cases are trash can size.
2)?
I think you can see the difference. I like my 25-5 but I can see why they wont make guns chambered for it.

My S&W wish list isn't for a particular type of gun, it's for a process.
I'd like to see S&W go back to the pre-81 style of manufacturing. I miss pinned barrels, recessed cylinders, beautiful deep-blue bluing, and the completely even trigger pulls that a leaf spring, instead of a coil spring, gives you.
This is the reason that I collect pre-81 S&W revolvers.
If they go back to this, I'd buy any of their models.

Duece, yes it is a 4" bbl. $619.00 was the very best I could do. Although, thanks to Sir Wolfy it just became $594.00 Thanks Wolfy.

That's chambered in 45 Colt right? Wait, how can that - nevermind.

A scandium airlite in 9mm
A 340 pd in 9mm would be perfect for me. I would load the moon clips with Speer Gold Dot 124 grain +p or Winchester 127 grain ranger LE +p.
That would be a sweet CCW revolver in a very effective caliber taking into consideration the short barrel.

A new model 36 that doesn't say LadySmith on the side. I might buy one anyway. I LOVE blued steel. No finer looking finish on a gun as far as I am concerned.
