I have though of this A LOT! For years!
My “perfect” pistol is:
Auto-loader in various calibers from 380 ACP through 50 AE.
STS frame same as Colt series 70 regarding rear rails.
STS frame same as BHP regarding forward rails, but thickness of Colt’s rear rails (thicker).
Overall frame width exact same thickness as the slide for maximum strength and balance.
Frame front strap checker full around in choice of 20,30 or 40 LPI.
Back strap same as BHP but full checker around in choice of 20, 30 or 40 LPI.
Double-stacked magazine in STS only, very high strength steel and extreme quality fail-proof warranted springs/followers.
Decrease the amount of “open space” on the grip’s sides as the BHP has (leave the steel).
No manual safety. Same style steel trigger as the SA XD series, must be striker-style pistol (hammerless).
Trigger under-side checkered in choice of 30 or 40 LPI.
STS slide with ejection port lowered etc, but not too much, mid-way of what series 70 and series 80 Colts are.
Glock-style extractor.
Firing pin block system from the series 80 Colt.
Factory direct with choice of hard chromed or black chrome.
Pistol MUST come direct from the factory with a .22LR barrel, upper and magazine.
NO LOADED-CHAMBER indicator.
