N-Frame Wish List
I hadn't seen this before, but I have been thinking about this for some time. The following is what I would love to see.
- Pre-Model 27 Patton Commemorative - Bring back the Registered Magnum in a 3.5" configuration. Don't doll it up with laser engraving or gold etching. Do it right with period roll marks, a partridge sight, a square butt, a quality set of bone stocks with a correctly placed "GSP", a reproduction grip adapter, a real blue mirror finish, a reproduction box, and reproduction copies of the paperwork. Go with the original transfer bar and spur hammer, and don't add no stinkin lock.
- Registered Magnum - Bring back the Registered Magnum like several years ago, again with the 3.5" configuration, but then add a few bells and whistles. Put an 8-round cylinder on it cut for moon clips. I would be fine with the round butt and a nice set of target stocks and Performance Center action/trigger. No lock hole and boy I miss the old transfer bar & spur trigger system.
- N-Frame Snubbie Set - I am still trying to replace my 29-4 3" full lug snubbie with the Unfluted Cylinder. I believe they were a Lew Horton item with round butt and Pachmeyer stocks. Had just enough heft not to be a killer with 44 magnums. Make a run for all N-frame calibers. No lock hole and boy I miss the old transfer bar & spur trigger system.

An accurate Triple Lock repro. Maybe in more calibers.

While we are wishing here, I want a 5" real blue finish 8 shot model 27 cut for moon clips with the traditional style barrel and a gold bead patridge front sight. Also, I want no lock hole and would prefer a traditional hammer mounted firing pin. I could live with the frame mounted firing pin though, if I had to compromise anywhere. And I want a different type blue job than what they use nowadays, maybe a hot salt blue like my ACW prime Elite uses since S&W can't do their old style blue any more. And I wouldn't mind paying a good price for something like this either. I wouldn't flinch at a $2k price tag.

I too would jump at the chance to buy a new 5 inch N frame in a traditional RM-style layout. Not likely to happen, but nice to dream.

Just as an aside Garandpappy, a Partridge is a bird.
Patridge is the fella who developed the sight named after him------way back---late 19th, early 20th century---turned out to be a winner---especially after some other folks put different color beads on them----the Mcgivern being the absolute best---reflects light from almost 180 degrees behind the shooter.
