I was wondering what all of you would like to see in your perfect gun. Please list if it is an Auto or Revolver. I may write out a larger list for mine, but as a start, I'll begin with this. It would use features from the S&W M&P, Springfield XD, HK USP, Beretta Px4, and EAA Witness (I'll explain if I make a large list, on why the Witness would be included). And yes, it would be an auto.

found mine.
I'd love an original M1911, but they are awfully hard to find

I'm somewhat picky about it.
From the:
Smith and Wesson M&P-
· Entire Frame (Including slide)
· The trigger like Dan Burwells custom job, still DAO.
· With the extended slide release
· Interchangeable backstraps
· Have a partially titanium frame, for added strength.
· Picatinny rails
· Novak adjustable sights
· High capacity magazines
Beretta Px4
· Rotating barrel
· Similar night sights, with green rear sights and red front. May also use tritium sights.
Springfield XD
· Grip safety
· Trigger safety
· Loaded chamber indicator
· Firing pin indicator
HK USP
· Magazine release
· Thumb safety on frame. Up for safe, down to decock.
. Threaded Barrel
EAA Witness
· Interchangeable barrels. Allows for shooting different calibers just by changing barrel and placing different magazine.

My perfect gun: A type II phaser.
ALLWAYS hits what you're shooting at, even when you aren't pointing at it, and never seems to damage the backstop.
Makes a cool noise too, that doesn't require ear protection.

Commander-length slide, in a black finish, with night sights, on a bobtailed Government-sized frame with a smooth frontstrap, a spurred hammer, a slight magwell bevel, ambidextrous safety, Kimber ball milled micarta grips, a Colt old-style empty-space trigger, and finished in green Armor-Tuff, or something similar.

If I could have a P7M8 in 9mm & 45 acp (P7M7) that weighed alot less & I could shoot more than 100 per range session!

A 9mm semi-auto the same size or smaller than a Kel-Tec P-3AT for about the same cost.

Bobo, can a 9mm be squeezed into anything smaller than the upcoming PF-9? The Rohrbaugh R9 is mucho expensive, so I'll stick with my P3AT for now. When I get back from the sandbox I'll see how the PF-9s are doing. If they're as reliable is my 2nd gen P3AT they'll be close enough to perfect for a pocket auto for me.
In the meantime can I get a S&W 625 in 45 Colt that's built to handle 44 Mag level loads? Oh yeah, while they're at it let's get rid of the lock and transfer bar, and go back to a hammer block and hammer mounted firing pin. Take the MIM out and replace with machined or forged barstock too. Yeah, that would be perfect.

easy dissassembly like the xd, or glocks
5" threaded barrel
suppresor
.40 cal
no safety
lasermax guide rail laser
m3x light mounted
polymer frame
grip angle of an xd
interchangable barrels between 9mm and .40
lots of hi-cap mags ammo and a nice holster!

A 15-shot .45 ACP, conventional DA, the size of a Kel-Tec P-32.

Total ideal for me would be FN FiveseveN (original design - the rounded trigger guard), in SA/DA action and with Walther P99 style decocker. And threaded barrel + silencer to top the kit. Now that would be something.

A Glock 30 with night sights. Stock.
Ha! You beat me to it. My first handgun was a 1911 type, sorta (Para P13). I love the design (the way JMB designed it, now that I know more) but it was a poor beginner's choice of platform and never reliable. I now know why that particular gun wasn't reliable...but I got rid of it anyway.
I'll revisit it again, perhaps a SA milspec sent through the hands of Yost-Bonitz custom. Not all the race gun bells n' whistles, just a reliable fightin' gun with a good SA trigger. 1* package and maybe a hand matted slide top with french border and a gold bead front sight. "Fancy-retro"

this is pretty close
I had mine built with a 4" pencil barrel for a S&W model 64 installed on what had been a 3" HB S&W model 65 with a round butt grip frame, it has been moonclipped and had a target trigger and hammer installed. I got a set of Hogue Bantams and this make for a nice belt gun for walking woods and basic HD. My only problem is with the load I have been using it shoots about 3 inches high and to the right about 3". I might have the front sight milled off and put on a taller black blade with a gold bead.

There isn't one. They are all a compromize of one sort or another... ideal in one venue may be useless in another.
I'd vote for the Ruger MkII or similar as the best all-around handgun. Great for target, plinking, and small game use, reliable, tough, and accurate enough. Fun when times are good, and capable of putting food on the table and more when times are rough.... and a standard ammo case will hold 6000+ rounds and can still be carried with one hand.
