What is your Smith & Wesson dream gun that they never made?

[bubbaturbo]

Model 325 chambered in 45 Colt.

Moonclips are sweetness itself. I've shot a 622 and it was nice. I'm hoping to get a chance to shoot a 610 loaded with .40. I know they made a 9mm option for a very breif time and this is the one I wish they still made in a format that worked with moonclips. I'd be all over one of those if they were more available.

I'm lucky enough to have a club up this way that shoots Speed Steel matches where revolvers can compete on a fair footing. But being able to shuck the empties and pop in a new ring of rounds would make this event even more sweet for revolvers than it already is.

I agree, the moon clipped 9mm for shooting events. That would kill the need to mess with 38 S&W for ICORE and a 8 shot N frame in 9MM would be sweet for steel shoots.
Lots of 9mm brass around for reloading.

Too bad S&W started the MIM parts and keyholes before they starting making the 620. A pre-MIM, pre-keyhole 620 would be sweet.

I would have said something else, if my hands were big enough for N-frames. I love N-frames, and big bore cartridges, but if I have to use SA mode anyway, to get the trigger within reach of my index finger, I will just go with a single-action sixgun in the first place.

I always wanted a 45 ACP revolver, that ejects the rimless 45 cases like the S&W 547 ejects the 9mm cases.

one with a 2" barrel and one 4" barrel

I would buy those in a heartbeat

 

[wditto]

I would love an "N-frame" .22 LR , maybe with a ten shot cylinder......

Actually, you'd have room for 15 shots on an N-frame (you can fit nine into a J-frame).

 

[wditto]

now THAT'S a dream gun !

 

[jhvaughan2]

I would like a 5 shot round butt L Frame .44 Special with fixed sights and a 3 1/2" half lug barrel in a blue finish.

oooh this! but offer me a 2"

 

[SGW42]

K-frame
Square butt
4" Heavy barrel
Half lug
Adjustable sights
Serrated trigger
.22 LR
10-shot
High-polish blued finish

I guess that's a 10-shot Model 18.

Oh yeah, make it affordable.

I'm still sort of holding my breath for a 10-shot .22LR GP100, though.

 

[DougDubya]

now THAT'S a dream gun !

I dream BIG.

15 .22 WMR's in one cylinder.

 

[Oyeboten]

M-a-y-b-e....a 4 inch Bull-Barrel, round-butt, K-Frame...in .41 Mag...'Blue'...lowish Half-Moon Front Sight...plain old
'notch' rear sight...and I'd bob the Hammer myself...

 

[jjohnson]

+1 With DaveT

..who said,

A five shot 44 Special with fixed sights on the K-Frame. They say they can't do it but some how Charter Arms produced the Bulldog. Oh well, they lost me as a customer with the locks.

Every word of it. Taurus built a 5-shot 44 Special, too, with fixed sights, and it holsters perfectly in my k-frame holsters. I'd want the 5-shot K-frame in a 4-inch with adjustable sights and full lug barrel. May as well make it in stainless as long as I'm wishing for it.

But yeah, they lost me as a customer with Hillary Holes, too.

 

[ZeppelinM16]

460 that can fire moon clips of 45 acp without changing cylinders. 686 (or any 357) that can fire moon clips of 9mm without changing cylinders.

 

[BMF500]

An X-Frame .44 Magnum with an 8-shot cylinder.

+1 I'm with Doug

 

[Snowbandit]

How about a 610 Mountain Revolver? No lock of course.

 

[PotatoJudge]

I'd like to see S&W adopt the barrel swapping system of the Dan Wesson. A K frame with the option of 2 and 4 in full underlug or 5, 6 and 8 in half lug with Ruger scope mounts would cover about any use one could find for the 357 mag. Round butt, target sights fixed in the rear and adjustable on the barrel, and nickel finish.

 

[ZeppelinM16]

Any new S&W without the lock!!! Grrr!

 

[Carne Frio]

A K or L frame, five shot 10mm, all steel with 2" barrel, round butt.

 

[DeepSouth]

An 8 shot .45 acp/auto rim with a 6 in barrel ........and a light rail.

or the Model 327 TRR8 in .45 acp.........I might be willing to compromise with a .44 spl it they ever make one.

 

[sidheshooter]

I'm with Mod Brian on this one:

S&W mod 12 with a 3" intermediate barrel on a Scandium frame in 357 and/or 9mm

Frankly, as the owner of a 2-inch 12-3, I'd be happy with a 3" in .38+P (lawyer rating). Now *That* would be a wheelie fan's carry gun.

Along those lines, S&W made a series of bead blast, DAO model 64s for the NYPD in the pre-glock days, one of which was a 3" heavy barrel round butt variation.

I still lust hard for one of those. Not too many made it out onto the surplus market, unfortunately.

Lastly, I'd love a 5-shot K (or 6-shot L; or both) frame fixed-sight service revolver with a 4-inch tube and moon clips in .40 S&W... I mean, what's the point of calling the round ".40 S&W" if you can't even get it in a real S&W gun...

 

[Zeke/PA]

Dream Gun???
A K-38 selling for around $100 bucks.

[Ohio Rusty]

A snubnose revolver, 5 shot, that uses moon clips and shoots the same .40 as the autoloader ....that would be a powerhouse !!
Ohio Rusty ><>

 

[mesinge2]

Ohio Rusty, Charter arms is actually making a .40 snubnose revolver that actually ejects the brass without moonclips.

When they actually produce it is another question.

 

[Smith357]

A S&W #3 in .357 Magnum. The #3 is a good solid design, and with modern metallurgy should easily be able to handle a .357 load possibly .44 magnum.
