Ruger Buckeye Blackhawk 10mm/38-40 convertible

[stubshaft]

Ruger Hawkeye .256.
Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine.
Ruger Super Blackhawk in .375 SM

[dualsport]

I'm seconding #7 on the first list. Tanfoglio combo .41 AE/9mm. The gun is a piece of genuis, knock off from the CZ75 for sure, but the .41 AE conversion puts it in another ballpark. My .41 AE is a cb shooter. But you should see me scrounging back up my brass! Last time I saw it for sale it was a buck a pop! Starline won't listen to me and won't make it.

[oscarflytyer]

P08 Luger - both 9 mm and 7.65 mm (45 would be cool)
3 screw Ruger SAs
1902-1907 Colt Auto variants
Browning 1910 and 1922
1860 Army
Late 1800s and early 1900s Smiths (don't know exact models, but know when I see them).
LeMat Revolver

Yeah... I like the old stuff MUCH better than all the new polymer stuff...

[wiljen]

Mauser HSc (And not the late model abomination HSc Super) in 32 and 380 ACP.

Lemat in 357/16ga

[50-170-700 sharps]

But... they still make the blackhawk in 30 carbine.

I'll second the P08 Luger.

S&W Model 16 "K-32"


DITTO

The best, most accurate handgun I ever owned. Six shot groups at 25 yards with factory wadcutters could be completely hidden by a shiny new dime.

[NoZombies]

+1 on the model 16 S&W

[Jack Stanley]

S&W models 16 , 17 , 18 made like the four or five screw quality and no locks with a five inch barrel option on all of them .

After reading what NoZombies got started about .32's how about a model 31 with a four or five inch barrel and adjustable sights ?

OK , one more I got a soft spot for carbon steel forty-fours and I'd like to see a comeback of the model 29 ...... no locks .

Jack

[DLCTEX]

I would like to see the High Standard Double Nine revolver in 22lr made again, maybe with a magnum cylinder extra.

[Heavy lead]

The old, heavy, clunky, long cylinder "Old Vaquero", of course with the Bisley frame.

[Guesser]

S&W K-32 in 4" and 6"
Marlin Model 62 in 256 Winchester Magnum and 30 Carbine.
Savage Model 99 in 38-55, not many were made, would like one.

[Johnch]

DW 15

Ruger Super BH in 357 Max and 454 , both with 10" Hunter barrels
While the the 454 was never produced as far as I know
Acusport had them in their cataloge years ago

[mooman76]

44 automag.

[GLL]

I am with theperfessor on the S&W Model 58 but it should also be made available in .44Special, .44Magnum, .45 ACP, 10MM, and .45Colt as well as the original .41 Magnum! :)

Might as well throw in a Model 520 in .357Magnum too ! :)

No lock, no MIMM, forged hammer/trigger ! All should be available in 3" as well as 4" !

Round butt Model 58s in 10MM and .45ACP would be great selling guns ! :)

S&W Model 24, 4 inch.

[Baja_Traveler]

+1 on the Colt Python

Also the .22 Diamondback

[GLL]

S&W 624s are another very practical choice that should be made available again ! The 4" version is a favorite carry gun when I work in the desert or mountains of the southwest ! I have a prejudice for .44 Special though ! :)

S&W Third Generation pstols with alloy frames, especially 3913, 3914, 4513 & 4563.

All S&W revolvers without the dreaded internal lock and no MIM parts.

Colt Agent and Cobra second generation revolvers, especially the ones with the low maintenance parkerized finish.

[45r]

Dan Wesson in 45 colt with recessed cylinder that has tight tolerences like a F/A.I always liked the design that lets the barrel be changed and gap be set by the user.

[scb]

Another vote for the Auto Mag. Thought it might happen, but it looks like it flopped - again. You'd think with the almost 40 year of progress made in the metal working / manufacturing field this wouldn't be that hard anymore.

[9.3X62AL]

Pile-on for the S&W K-32s and NO MORE GLORY HOLES/MIM PARTS.

Colt New Service Target in 45 Colt--44 Special.

Colt Pythons AND Diamondbacks--the DBs in 22 LR/22 Mag swappers, 32 Magnum, and 38 Special. Officer's Model Target would work, too--if the D-frames aren't strong enough.

plain old 6 shot 4 inch 15.A bit off topic Lloyd but haven't you in the past posted a pic of a five shot bearcat in 32 HR? Was curious what your thoughts are on such a gun as that?

[richhodg66]

Amen to the Security and Speed Sixes!

Ditto. I like mine very much.

[3006guns]

The little S&W I frame in .32 long (or updated to .32 mag)....nice, handy "Sunday go ta meeting" revolver.

[pipehand]

Another wanting a re-release of the S&W Model 16. Return to hammer mounted firing pins and no MIM/keyhole on the Smiths. Model 631 would be nice too.

[zxcvbob]

Little S&W top-break six shooter, like the old "New Departure" model, in .38S&W or .32 ACP. Best pocket gun ever.

(I know they never made one in .32 ACP, but it has enough of a rim it should work)

Correction: 5-shot .38S&W or 6-shot .32

[Rodfac]

Amen to the S&W Model 16 "K-32"...and while they're at it, bring it out in the original finish and at the same price!

My 2nd nominee is.....S&W's 1950 Target 4" in .44 Special...again, in the original finish and at the same price....

Rod

[Grapeshot]

1. Colt New Service in .45 Colt, .44 Magnum, .44 Special.

2. S&W Fixed Sight N-Frame in .45 Colt w/ 5 inch Barrel in Stainless.

3. Colt 3rd Model Dragoon converted to .45 Colt.

4. Redesigned .45 ACP 1910 Savage.

5. .45 ACP American Eagle Luger in Stainless.

6. .455 or .45 ACP Webley MKIV.

[Piedmont]

If I could get one of those New Service Targets in .44 Russian, not Special, I'd feel like I died and went to heaven.

[fishnbob]

A Colt Woodsman would fill my bill

[9.3X62AL]

I was running back through this thread, and it occurred to me that gunmakers need to GET A CLUE and start making things people actually want, instead of some of the dreck they're putting out lately.

[bowfin]

The old, heavy, clunky, long cylinder "Old Vaquero", of course with the Bisley frame.

:drinks: Boy, I thought I was the only one who thought the slimmed down version was a retrograde update.

Having a Ruger .45 Colt that has to be loaded foras if it were a Colt just isn't right.

[bowfin]

I'm seconding #7 on the first list. Tanfoglio combo .41 AE/9mm. The gun is a piece of genuis, knock off from the CZ75 for sure, but the .41 AE conversion puts it in another ballpark. My .41 AE is a cb shooter. But you should see me scrounging back up my brass! Last time I saw it for sale it was a buck a pop! Starline won't listen to me and won't make it.

I have both of the Saeco molds cut for the ".41 Auto". I haven't reloaded any yet for my pistols though.

So as long as we are dreaming, how about TRIPLE barrel set in 9mm, >1 Action Express and the 9mmAction Express, the last being a 6" barrel.

[subsonic]

IAI Javelina longslide 10mm.

[adkpete]

Colt Woodsman/Huntsman and Police Positive

[3006guns]

I was running back through this thread, and it occurred to me that gunmakers need to GET A CLUE and start making things people actually want, instead of some of the dreck they're putting out lately.

You have a point. It seems like every manufacturer is cranking out autoloaders as fast as they can, and most of them are starting to look the same. Almost like cars.

Tooling up a complete assembly line for a product is horribly expensive, so they'd have to do a careful market study and see how it pencils out.

Smith and Wesson has responded with their "Classic" line (wonderful) but I'd sure like to see the little New Departure again. Does Colt still make the 1873 "Peacemaker"? I haven't looked at their offerings for years.

[casterofboolits]

I have both of the Saeco molds cut for the ".41 Auto". I haven't reloaded any yet for my pistols though.

So as long as we are dreaming, how about TRIPLE barrel set in 9mm, >1 Action Express and the 9mmAction Express, the last being a 6" barrel.

I noticed an FIE 9mm/41 AE combo peeking out at me from the safe when I was looking for 40 S&W mags for my new Witness Classic the other day. The 41 AE mags work for 40 S&W and vice versa. I also had the IPSC special in 41AE, but a buddy made me an offer I couldn't refuse.

I also have three Lyman four cavity moulds re cut for a 41AE-165-TCBB. Was only supposed to be two, but a bit of miscommunication and I ended up with three. The third was supposed to be a 10mm which would have weighed 150/155 grains.

Also cut two four cavity 40-145-TCPB at the same time.

Factory ammo for the 41AE is now going for $3.50 to $5.50 per round and brass is at $2.00 per round!

[NoZombies]

I do like the S&W Classic line, I really do, I just wish they would make a darned model 16 already...

[Moonie]

I have nothing to add, you already had mine listed, Dan Wesson .445 (7445, the one I had was stainless)

[Jumptrap]

I'm surprised and disappointed nobody mentioned the S&W model 35...22-32 Target. Yes, I have one and no, it's not for sale:).

[MT Gianni]

It's people like you Jump that remind us they were not myths. Great gun, or so I am told.

[mtnman31]

COLT Model 1917 - .45 ACP.
Ruger MKII - .22 LR

[klcarroll]

I have to enthusiastically second “Grapeshot’s” suggestion: …….The Webley Mark 6 needs to be made again!!

http://i949.photobucket.com/albums/ad334/sockmeister/pix655239280.jpg

If done in modern, heat treated steel, this classic top-break design would be VERY capable of handling non-magnum calibers like .45 ACP, .45 Colt and .44 Special.

……And unless you have spent some time with a Webley and .45 ACP in “Full Moon Clips”, ….you really don’t know what FAST revolver reloads are all about!


Kent

[bowfin]

Why do people prefer the Ruger Mk. II to the Mk. III?

I don't even know what makes a Mk. III different.

[bowfin]

I also have three Lyman four cavity moulds re cut for a 41AE-165-TCBB. Was only supposed to be two, but a bit of miscommunication and I ended up with three. The third was supposed to be a 10mm which would have weighed 150/155 grains.

Three of those moulds are too many...

...you need to sell one.;-)

I have had some good luck buying up some ammunition and brass at less than ridiculous prices, but until someone figures out a way to get somebody to make new brass, the prices will only go up.

I really think that the strength of this cartridge is in a combo set such as yours, since a person can switch barrels easily, which of course can't be done between 9mm and 40 S&W.

[longhorn]

Steyr GB? Really? Huh.

Don't know who's actually running Ruger these days, but their products seem to be all over the map; I don't really expect anything important or interesting from Colt, they've been moribund for years. S&W, OTOH, might make some really interesting stuff-if the market is sufficient. Every manufacturer is all about the bottom line--I'll buy the first Model "58" off the line in .45LC, but it ain't gonna happen. Oh, and since we're fantasizing anyway, I'll take a Model 16, too, preferably in .32 H&R.

[jhrosier]

I certainly wouldn't turn up my nose at a new production Sig P210.
The Webley MKVI would be a sure sale too.:D

Jack

[bowfin]

[Mk42gunner]

Guys,

I haven't seen anything listed that I would really disagree with, but I also wish that somebody would start making lower priced, serviceable guns like H&R and Iver Johnson used to make.

Robert

[got_lead?]

Ruger "6" series
Smith "no-Lock", FP in hammer series, in K,L, and N frames, mirror blue
Colt Python, Anaconda, and Diamondback, oh and Woodsmans
Dan Wesson Model 14's

[Multigunner]

Little S&W top-break six shooter, like the old "New Departure" model, in .38S&W or .32 ACP. Best pocket gun ever.

(I know they never made one in .32 ACP, but it has enough of a rim it should work)

Correction: 5-shot .38S&W or 6-shot .32

I suspect my Iver johnson .32 Safety Hammerless was reamed out to take the .32 ACP cartridge.
The chambers are much longer than the .32 S&W calls for.
This came in handy when I built up some Black Powder rounds for this little revolver using cut down .32 H&R Mag cases.
The modern .32 S&W case would not have held enough BP to make much of a load. The longer trimmed down H&R cases held just enough powder under a sized round ball to give decent velocity.

When I first got this pocket revolver it was a basket case, the frame lugs were badly deformed, probably from a previous owner firing FMJ .32 ACP ammo through it.
I was able to reshape the lugs and tighten it back up.

Another oldie but goody would be the Remington Model 51 .380 ACP with Pederson hestitation locking system.
The Pederson lock was used for a .45 ACP test model, so it seems to do its job well enough so long as maximum chamber pressure isn't too high.

Smith & Wesson could sell a bunch of:
K-32 in 32S&W Long as before, blue, of course
Model 16 in 32H&R, blue

As noted earlier, the Smith Model 35 22/32 Target, in 22LR
Old Model 34 KitGun in 22LR, blue

and a real rare one, the Model 631 J-frame KitGun, stainless, in 32 H&R

These high quality smaller revolvers are long gone, and still serve a purpose. The very few that remain certainly aren't for sale---

Smith & Wesson, ARE YOU LISTENING?????

In my dream spread of discontinued guns there would be a Model 16 S&W with 6" barrel to stand between the Model 35 and the Triple Lock in 44 Special (also with a 6" barrel.) Just to be sure there was no confusion, I would specify forged frames and internal parts and real wooden grips, with no lock, of course. If they decided to put a post-War hammer block in the TL, it would be OK, though.

For Colts, there would be a New Service Target in 45 Colt, a 70 Series Gold Cup (45 ACP, of course) with a Navy-built 22 "Zip Gun" conversion - like a Kart, only better) and just to round things out, a 1st Generation Single Action in 32-20.

Then I would have a Model 102 High Standard Citation, an original type Ruger Flat Top in 357 with factory ivories, a first edition type T-C Contender with a nice assortment of 10" octagon barrels, and an original design Browning High Power.

Then come the rifles and shotguns... ;)

[Char-Gar]

I have not read the thread, but put the P.08 Luger on it if it is not already there.

The S&w model 53 22 jet great wild cat

[rexherring]

I'd love to have another H&R Model 999 Sportsman 22 LR Revolver top break and a S&W Chiefs Special.

[got_lead?]

Anyone for the Gyrojet? Nah,

Ruger Six series, SW no-lock and pin on hammers, and the Colt Woodsman, oh and the MP-38/40, if that counts.

[Hickory]

I have one of these S&W 631, It would be the last gun I'd ever get rid of.

[Kermit1945]

Colt Police Positive in a .32 cal cartridge.
Colt New Service .45 LC
S&W New Departure (Lemonsqueezer) in .22LR !!!
S&W Mod 30, .32 S&W Long

I'd be near the front of the line for a Lemonsqueezer in .22. My .32S&W gets used a lot as a kit gun, and a new one in .22 would have the other one used MUCH less.

[saz]

Colt Python
Ruger Speed Six
Ruger Security Six

[saz]

Almost forgot-

S&W 696

[colonelsanders]

I second the request for an affordable revolver manufacturer to make small plinkin guns again.

I would love to see the H&R 999 brought back.

I would love to see some new manufacture top breaks.

[Cowboy T]

1.) SP-101 in 9mm Para
2.) Redhawk in .357 Magnum
3.) Security-Six (.357M, naturally)
4.) S&W 696 in .44 Special

Now, I would also suggest that Ruger come out with a version of the Security-Six in .44 Special, maybe a 5-shot like the S&W 696.

[Good Cheer]

Two that I have a soft spot for...
US Army Model 1909 (better if chambered for 45Colt instead of the arsenal modified cartridge).
St. Etienne Model 1892 (the original cartridge is great as a .33 Special even if you have to make the brass).

[jblee10]

I think they should do the 1911 again. Ah shucks, I'm alittle late.
Ok, my next one is the S&W K22, ah shucks. I'm late again.
Seriously though, I think most good handgun designs live today.
For the sake of shooting history, I would like to see Lugers and Broomhandles that I could afford. I wouldn't defend my household with them, but they would be fun anyway.

[LtFrankDrebbin]

I gotta support the Luger votes, and how bout the Walker Colt just for kicks:Fire:

[Alan in Vermont]

I'll buy the first Model "58" off the line in .45LC, but it ain't gonna happen.

I'm not really "up" on Smith stuff but,,,,,,, IIRC the 58 was an N frame for the 41. Isn't the 25 the same gun in .45? I have also seen guys wishing for a "58 in 44 Special/Mag". Isn't that already on the market as the 29?

Someone enlighten me as to the subtle differences that I seem to be overlooking.

[jh45gun]

Stevie, Don't know why you would want the Ballester Molina back Nice gun but is not completely 1911 though some parts will fit. With the popularity of the 1911 and all the companies making them now there is no reason to make an other BM unless you have one and now want easy to get parts. I had one good gun but I prefer the 1911 better.

The Colt 1873 (aka Peacemaker) is a handgun.

The Colt 1873 (aka Peacemaker) is a handgun.

True but I was thinking of the Winchester 1873 rifle. One of those as a shorty carbine in .22lr would be fantastic.

[Michael J. Spangler]

come on guys what about the medusa 47??? that was awesome!!

http://www.kitsune.addr.com/Firearms/Revolvers/Medusa_Model_47.htm

it chambers fires and extracts something like 28 different currently manufactured cartridges.

i would love to have one of these.. too bad they go for thousands now. if i saw one for $1k i would drop the card and make it mine in the blink of an eye. just a few years back they could still be had for $1K. should have jumped on one then!

[zack]

+1 on the Colt Python

Also the .22 Diamondback

Second the Diamondback. I didn't feel I could afford one years ago when they were $550 and I was making 5 bux an hour. Now they're collectors items going for $1500 or so.

[flint45]

I would like a new service 1917 with adj. sights good ones.I had one that was coustomized like that at one time but sold it.Also S&W 22/32 kit gun wont one of those to.

[captaint]

Could'a missed it, but how about a vote for that little beauty Colt 1903 hammerless auto?? Beautiful little pistol. Not especially useful in 32ACP, but so nice. Oh, and how about a pre series 70 colt National Match 1911. Now there was a beauty.... Mike

[Alan]

S&W M-16 in .327
CZ-52 w/ adjustable sights and forged firing pin in a Match version.
No-Lock 29-5 .44 & .41 Mountain Guns. I have a .44 and it is NOT for sale.

S&W K-series Masterpieces & Combats- the finest belt revolvers EVER made for knocking around in the woods in NDG areas, esp. the K-38 Combat Masterpiece and the 6 1/2" K-22 Masterpiece.

Colt Shooting Master/New Service Target in .45 Colt/ACP, .44 Mag/Spl, .41Mag

Webly MkVI in .476 W and .45ACP. .44Spl/.41Spl & .45 Colt would be nice, but the orignal calibers do fine for what the gun was intended for.

Webly - Fosberry Auto Revolver in above calibers. 8)

Dan Wesson 45 LC revolver in 5" & 7.5".
357 Max revolvers, DW or Ruger

Would it still be a handgun if it had wheels and a tripod? Your wrists must be bigger than mine.

If your going to have a 3 1/2" cylinder, just go straight to the .600 NE to wrap around the 10 ga. Now THAT is a revolver Elmer (peace be unto him) would have liked.:bigsmyl2:

[ColColt]

The 4" Colt Python for under $1,000...yeah, that's the ticket.

[bowfin]

I just thought of two more:

The Browning 1071 .380 with adjustable sights and 4 3/8" barrel and the High Standard G380 in.380 ACP.

[km101]

S&W Mdl 41 6" barrell

[jlchucker]

I notice that nobody so far has mentioned any Taurus models. Or Rossi's.

Imagine that! [smilie=1:

[sargenv]

I didn't see these listed...

S&W 625 - 45 acp - 6.5" bbl
S&W 646 - 40 S&W - 5" bbl
S&W 610 - 10 mm - 5" bbl

I will add another vote for the Colt 1903 pocket hammerless. My wife owns one and it is by far the most beautiful gun we own. Too bad she doesn't shoot it much, but once in a while I sneak it out of the gun cabinet to exercise the old girl (the pistol, not the wife).

[captbligh]

United Sporting Arms Seville, Tucson manufacture, in .454 Casull (Basically a Super Blackhawk in stainless with really tight tolerances and very accurate.) I have one in .357 Max and another in .45 Win Mag. Great Guns!

[I'll Make Mine]

I'm going to put in a second for the Zytel XP-100 (I owned one of those, original .221 Fireball chambering -- the only thing I'd have wanted to change was to have a magazine), expand the long Dan Wesson list to include any Dan Wesson with interchangeable barrels (I've got a Model 15, .357 Magnum, but only the 6" barrel, and barrels are getting hideously expensive) -- they could add interchangeable cylinders, too, to let the .357 version fire 9 mm (the whole family that use the same head, from 9x19 through 9x23, Wildey Mag, etc.), and .44/45 on one frame with a third cylinder covering .45 ACP and its powered up cousins. I'll also second the High Standard Double Nine (with both cylinders), and Webley Mk IV or Mk VI (with metallurgy upgrades to handle full power .45 ACP), and add the Beretta Jetfire (.25 ACP version) to the list.

No, I couldn't begin to afford any of these made new, now, except possibly the Double Nine -- but there's always Powerball...

[FergusonTO35]

I wish somebody would come out with a K-frame size, six or seven shot .32 H&R magnum double action revolver with adjustable sights. S&W used to make one, Charter Arms has offered them occasionally.

[Grapeshot]

I think that the Savage M1907/1910 .45 Semi-Auto that was issued for the 1910 trials.

Also the .45 Caliber Luger

The High-Standard HD Military .22

[jlchucker]

Imagine that! [smilie=1:

Just thought I'd stir the pot a bit, Jim! [smilie=l:

[ColColt]

All 3rd Gen S&W pistols.

[km101]

Hi Standard Supermatic Trophy in 6" barrell.

[DaveCampbell]

Colt New Service Target in .44-40 WCF, .44 Special and .45 Colt and a 4-inch barrel!

[bowfin]

sargenv, my son always wanted to have a Smith & Wesson Model 610 rechambered to a 10mm magnum, which would make it a .401 Herter Power Mag, I guess.
