That is a pretty gun. I would be happy with it too.

I've always wanted a Colt Python with a 4" barrel in blue steel to be a companion to my S&W M19-3. I'd also like to buy back the S&W M66-1 I used to have. This M19 is probably my dream revolver. It's a "3T" model, target hammer (wide spur), target trigger (wide trigger) and target grips, which I still have, but put the rosewood grips on because they fit my hand better. It's had an action job (before I bought it) and is smooth as glass.

I won't say that I would necessarily have to own one...but I'd like to shoot a high end revolver like a Korth or a freedom arms.I'd like to see how they feel and how well I'd be able to shoot one.

I have 2 'dream' revolvers... one exists, one doesn't... not yet, anyway.
1) Dan Wesson .41MAG with 4" heavy vented barrel. They are out there, but the cost of admission is pretty high. I have a stainless DW .41 with a 6" barrel, so it's conceivable this wish can eventually come to fruition.
2) S&W L-frame .41SPC or .41MAG, 4" or 5" lugged barrel. I doubt this will ever come to be, however.

How about a 3" L frame like the model 69 but in 41 mag

The 69 is the vision model, but I'm not a big fan of 3" Magnums. You could probably make the argument for a 3" L-frame .41SPC, however.
I had a 3" Model 60 some years ago, it had a 3" full lugged barrel and was an excellent pistol... for the .38SPC. I would not want that pistol in .357, however.

I have a 3" model 686 357 mag and a Taurus model 415 2 1/2" 41 mag. I like short barrel mags for carry. I would like a 4" 41 mag L frame to!

A 44 Special Python. Yeah I know there's no such thing. But this is about your dream gun right?

A five-shot Python would take some getting used to.

I agree about the five shooter but it's doable. After all I own a few other revolvers so chambered. Might have forgotten to mention my dream Python would have a 3 inch barrel.

Like most any Charter in .44 I guess.
Now, while a Colt leaves me cold....
A *named* S&W 5 round .44 Special dedicated (NOT a cylinder or frame of length to accept Mag.) revolver like a Combat/Target Masterpeice or Combat Magnum would be the ticket for me.

This one is pretty close to perfect, IMHO. I've had it 14 years now and it never disappoints me. Being my first DW stainless gun, and being the cheapest of the 3 I have makes it even better.
My dream revolver is more a range gun than anything unique or exotic like most guns mentioned here.
A six shot/adj sites/4.2-6" barreled 9mm, stainless would be ideal.
This is a close as I've come in my search, RIA AL 9.0, not even available yet:
Yikes
Priced this gun locally today, $499.00
.Way more than other rev's they sell, up there close to rugers/smiths
I've also read you get 2 moon clips with the gun and extras not sold anywhere.
Ruger needs to make an SP101 Match Champion in 9mm
How hard would that be
they already have a SP101 model in 9mm (5783)Wake up Ruger...
I have my dream revolver, a S&W 60-15 3" 357 Pro. It has been 100% reliable, very Shoots accurate (with replacement springs) and fits my hand like a glove (albeit with Hogue rubber grips replacing the wood ones)! Is easy on the hands with 38 +P loads and lighter 357 magnums like Winchester 110 gr JHPs. Dennis

I haven't waded through all of the many replies in this thread but I'm guessing I'm at least seconding a vote for a "dream" revolver-a Smith & Wesson "Registered Magnum".

I have two "dream revolvers." One is unobtainable and the other I own.
The impossible revolver is the MP-412 REX designed by IZHMEKH in Russia. It was to be a modern top-break revolver in .357 magnum. SA/DA action, adjustable sights and a steel frame with polymer grip frame. Unfortunately, the Clinton/Yelstin import ban killed it before it ever went into production. I've always love top-break revolvers. I modernized one just really tickles my fancy.
The one I actually own is an old High Standard double action, 9-shot .22 revolver. I learned to shoot on my Dad's High Standard and shot that pistol regularly until the frame broke in 1996. I really missed that old gun! Last year, my Dad found one in a pawn shop that was identical to the one he had all those years ago. He bought it and gave it to me as a Christmas gift! He even included the old holster from the original gun that he had held onto for over 20 years! It's not a fancy or collectible gun, but it is VERY special to me.

Thanks for showing the MP-412 REX, did not know it existed, or tried to exist... that would be very nice.. Did you ever hear a thought about what they would have cost... Man a 357 top break... Almost makes you want the throw the old Webley in a ditch.. almost..
Love the High Standard also.. Nice memories

I first saw the MP-412 REX in a gun magazine way back in the early 1990s. (My name is Rex, so of course it caught my eye, lol!) I don't recall seeing anything about expected pricing. Since the import ban killed it before it even got into production, I doubt there were ever very many samples made. I still want a reproduction top-break, but I'd sell many of my toys to get my hands on a modern interpretation of the design.
As long as I'm dreaming, here's what I'd build given the necessary resources and skills:
As long as I'm dreaming, here's what I'd build given the necessary resources and skills:
- 10mm
- top-break
- steel sub-frame w/ polymer interchangeable grip section
- barrel at 6 o'clock (like the Chiappa Rhino)
- striker fired with a smooth, long double action trigger (like a Kahr)
- RMR type dot sight

Thanks for that. Didn't know these were out there. That is awesome...

Not trying to be a butt.. 1st that new Webley is like a Fantasy come to life, So nice, cool caliber, so new.. But the Price (10k) come one, I know each of us has a jelly spot.. and God knows I love jelly.. But that price is so high you could get a 3 semi Belt Feds and an original unshaved Webley Mk VI, Or you can get a nice full sized Gatling gun with a Belt Fed and an original unshaved Webley Mk VI with some money left over..
Also on an aside, I think it stinks how when you go to the website of this British Company selling a British iconic firearm and I have to acknowledge before I can see any thing that UK citizens can not own one of these.. That just stinks.. Poor Brits...
