If I win the lottery...
If I win the lottery (and I mean the $50,000,000+ lottery, not the $5,000 lottery) and could afford to have S&W make me a 500 unit production run of whatever I wanted; what would I have them make? I would, of course, donate a number of these guns to the forum to use a fundraisers, give a few away for good karma, maybe outfit a small police department and then put the rest in my huge walk-in gun safe at my private shooting range behind my mansion. It would be fun having Tom Selleck and Ted Nugent over for some range time.
Anyway I think I would like a 4506-1 with a silver alloy frame, lightened melonite (black) coated slide, integral rail, old school adjustable sights and the TSW upgrades. I will call it the 4503TSW. Of course I will be sending 5-10 in to the performance center for serious tuning and customization.
What would you have S&W make for you?

If I won five hundred million in the lottery I would farm with it until it ran out.
I would have S&W make a run of five-screw K-Frames in .38 special and .22 lr in the configurations that were available in 1950. Hey, for say 1.5 million, they could do it all by hand!

500 mil ....
I think id have them do a run of 629 carbines as we sometimes see from master gunsmiths every now and again.
that was probably one of the most brilliantly useful guns ive seen since the 629 itself

I'd give it all back because I've never purchased a lottery ticket.

I would order 500 K Frame target models, 6" barrel, no lock in 32 WCF. Actually, with that kind of money to play with I would not be talking to S&W at all. I'd try to convince Uberti,Taurus or someone like that to reproduce the 38 Safety Hammerless in 9x19. I doubt S&W could pull it off or I'd talk to them.

I'd setup a scholarship fund for people who wish to pursue a career in the trades. It would pay for classes upon successful completion and no repayment would be required. The only requirement would be the individual must complete an NRA Safety Course and legally own a firearm.

If I won the lottery I would IMMEDIATELY move out of NYS and buy a home in NC or TN with 200 plus acres, face northeast on a daily basis and flip the bird to the NY State Politicians who have ruined my state.
Just my 2 cents.

If I won the lottery...
I'd punish my enemies and reward my friends. I'd quit my law practice buy a BIG boat and do the great loop cruise. After that, I'd get a 60' Benateau and do the islands. I'd never wear a tie again. I would fish until I caught the billfish grand slam. I'd go to Alaska and shoot a polar bear. I'd go to Africa and shoot it all. I'd play in the world series of poker-I'd have a floating camp on a barge in the middle of the marsh-I'd hunt waterfowl in South America. I'd have a manservant in a white waistcoat-I'd have an upstairs and a downstairs maid Yes......there's quite a bit I would do-heh heh . But God knows that which is why he won't let me win

I'd get run of SBR'd Model 76s reconfigured to be closed bolt/semi only guns. Why? Because it'd be different.

It is a matter of priorities in life. For me, things would be simple. As with Cajun Lawyer, I would never see the inside of a courthouse again or have to argue with lawyers. My purchases would be a swimming pool for the house, a new Chevy crewcab dually and then a lot of guns that I want but cannot afford. The rest of the money would go to charity.

Your money wouldn't last very long.
You would have to have been raised around a farm to really understand redlevel's humor in the above quote.

I would contract a PC gun to be made with these specs;
Jframe
"3 barrel
black finish
Power Port
red ramp front/ NOVAK back with tritium inserts
9mm chambering
recessed cylinder
NO LOCK
Rosewood finger groove combat grips
now that would be a nice gun, think model 60 but amped up and 9mm, also the same features but built on a 3 inch 686+

I'd spend it on wine, women and song and the rest I'd piss away...
But seriously, I would set up an education trust fund for all of my nieces, nephews, cousins and future grandchildren. I would also establish a scholarship fund of some kind to help children of hard working blue collar folks. Once that's taken care of I would indulge myself and buy a few toys, travel and maybe buy a small villa in St. Lucia or St. Martin to escape Minnesota's cold winters.

If I win the lottery, I'll follow Conan's advice and crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women. Heck yea, good times.

Back before I retired my thoughts were that if i won that kind of money I would keep on working , take off when I wanted, and be the biggest pain in the *****at work .do my job but take no guff from any one . Would probably get fired but if you don't need the job and do your work they don't seem to fire you , just the people that need to earn a living get fired or downsized.

To answer the OP I would have S&W make me two of everything. They could find me on the lake drowning rubber worms when they're done.
