Revolvers you want made
« on: May 23, 2003, 02:10:44 PM »
What revolvers do you want to see go into production?

My favorite would be a stainless five shot S&W 44 mag, three inch, adjustable sights, recessed for speed loaders.

I want Colt to make the New Service, both the M1917 .45 acp, and the M1909 .45 Colt.  I hear the General wants to do this very weapon after the WW1 1911s are done, if they can afford the tooling.

Sgt.Drydock,

Given the M1909 revolver, the next thing will be to get a cartridge case manufacturer to produce M1909 Cases. These really do extract much better than do ordinary 45 Colt cases in all of the D.A. revolvers in which I have tried them.

I'll go with Sgt. Drydock on the Colt 1917, but made by someone other than Colt.  I would like to see Smith and Wesson come out with a J-frame snubby in the 40 short and weak, a K-frame of Model 19 style in 38/40, 10mm and 45 ACP, the old Model 57 in 4" with adjustable sights, a J-frame in 32 H&R Magnum, 32-20 and 7.62x25mm, and the return of the Schofield in 45 ACP/Colt.  That oughta hold me fer a while.  Mikey.

I'd like to see Ruger bring out the Redhawk in .41 Mag again.  I would also think they could make a 7 or 8-shot .357 Mag on the Redhawk frame, and that would be cool, too.  

The SP-101 with a 4" barrel and adjustable sights as an 8-10 shot .22 LR would be cute, too.

A Redhawk with a Super Redhawk grip frame
A GP100 in 41 Mag, 44 Special, 45 Colt (if Taurus can do it so can Ruger)
A heavy barrel N frame S&W in 357, basically a M29 chambered for 357

I think a snubnose for the .40 S&W would be a good concealment gun. Light, easy to conceal, a little more power than the .38 Special and (from what .40 S&W owners tell me) accurate.

Want to see Colt produce the SAA full-time so it could be offered at a reasonable suggested retail price ($600 or so). I haven't seen the Colt Cowboy but I don't hear much good about it. I guess quality is a huge problem. Love to have one in .44-40 to complement my repro 1873 Winchester rifle of that same caliber.

Love to see Smith & Wesson reintroduce the Model 15 Combat Masterpiece, in blue. This .38 Special revolver is a joy to carry and shoot. Also love to see the same model offered in .32-20 or .32 H&R Magnum. Be nice to have a .32-caliber, high-grade revolver with adjustable sights, in both 4" and 6" barrels.

Remington should reintroduce its cap and ball revolvers in .36 and .44 caliber and its Model 1890 cartridge revolver in .45 Colt, .44-40 and .44 Special. I'd buy one like THAT if it were in .44-40. Why Remington hasn't reintroduced its old-timey revolvers is beyond me, considering that Colt and Smith & Wesson have.
Come to think of it, why haven't Colt, Winchester, Ruger or Remington reintroduced a hammered shotgun for the Cowboy Action Shooting crowd?
Seems like a side-by-side shotgun in 12 and 20 gauge, with 22" barrels, straight stock (no pistol grip), hammers and case hardening on the receiver and steel buttplate would be good for CAS, hunting game in thick cover (grouse and rabbit comes to mind) and for home defense.
Ahhhhhh ... what am I saying? They'd just muck it up with 28" barrels, a fluorescent bead, stamped checkering, a safety that required the entry of a three-digit number before disengaging each time and a stock made from Chinese ammo crates.
We all know what is needed. Trouble is, the factories don't give us what's needed, they give us what they can hype (witness the Remington Etronix rifle with electric ignition, the .17 Rimfire and the S&W .500 revolver).

I just want to see Colt producing all their handguns again, but especially the python, diamondback, and anaconda. And none of this limited basis custom shop stuff, I want the factory running at 100% capacity.
My next wish is to have revolvers produced with the smooth single and double actions of the 1950's and 60's. To hell with the lawyers, and their stinking lawsuits. 7 to 10 pound trigger pulls are horrible.

I couldn't come up with a suggestion until I saw Colt Fan's above.  Colt Diamondbacks would be great.  Shot a 4" .22  once and it was sweet!  I'd vote for stainless too.

Amen!

I have a 1906 New Service, 7 1/2" barrel in .45 Colt and I love it.  This gun is almost new condition mechanically and internally, but had been reblued.

Unfortunately, it shoots a foot high and about 3 inches right.  I'm screwing up my courage to sliver-solder and pin an addition to the front sight and widen the rear notch.

If Colt brought out a New Service -- especially with adjustable sights, I think it would be a reall winner.

Bfoster, I just use Starline Schofield cases, which have the wider rim.  In addition, most manufacturers seem to have added .005 or so diameter to their .45 Colt cases over the years, and I have had few extraction problems.

Raging480:  S&W just introduced your wish list gun - a stainless 41 magnum Model 57 with an unfluted clyinder and a 7 1/2 inch barrel with full underlug.  It reminds me of a similar Model 29 in blue steel they produced for a while.  Seems like you're the lucky one.  Mikey.

I'd like to see Ruger come out with a Hunter version of the Single Six. That would make a great squirrel/'coon gun. Also, the same with the SP 101 with a 6 to 8 " barrel. Again, for the small game market.

S&W built a 3", 44mag., S.S. for Lew Horton Dist., back in the late 80s, early 90s.  I still see them at gun shows every now and then...F.Y.I.

My gun.  The Colt S.A.A. 4 3/4", 5 1/2", AND 7 1/2" in .38-40 and 44 spec.  I know they made them for a while, but I was late in picking some of them up.

Ruger: 4" Redhawk in .45 Colt; GP-100 in five shot .44 special and a smaller frame BH in .357 and .44 Special.

Colt: Bring back their revolver line.

Taurus: get rid of the porting and the ugly rubber grips and I might buy a revolver again. Bring back the SS five shot .44 Special.

S&W: Bring back the 27, 28, 24 and don't charge as much as you did for the Triple-locks, that simply is criminal.

I wish all manufacturers would join this forum and truly start looking at threads like this and maybe they will start providing the goods that we want.
