We all have configurations we would like to see made. Post yours up in here.


Mine:

aluminum K frame
round butt
adjustable sights
5" aluminum (steel sleeved) half lug barrel
10 shot 22lr
matte black finish
checkered banana grips


And a modern +P 3" version of a model 12 round butt. No fancy ****, straight retro styling.

OK, thanks.

This is the only sub forum I go to on this website......................LOL
 
Bob, with all due respect, you do realize this is the S&W Forum? To each his own however. All my very best, Joe {who has carried and used J-Frames for the last 47 years}.
 
N frame
3.5" Barrel in same configuration as the M27 with that barrel length
Square butt
Blued
.44 Special and .45 ACP
Otherwise, same configuration of 27-2 or earlier.
 
The Governor "Frontier Justice" XVR with a 4" half-lug barrel, adjustable rear sights.

A Magnum variant of the Governor built on the X Frame chambered in 460 S&W Magnum and .410 Bore 3" Shotshells.

I'm a fan of the combination .45LC/.410 Bore Revolvers like the Taurus Judge and Smith & Wesson Governor, but I'd like one chambered in a more powerful magnum cartridge. Taurus makes one called the Raging Judge chambered in .454 Casull/.410, but it's massively overbuilt, extremely heavy, and doesn't look anything like the regular Judge or Governor. Furthermore, unlike some other Taurus brand firearms, the Raging Judge isn't bargain-priced, ergo if Smith & Wesson chose to compete with it, the price difference between the two would be much closer than it is between the Judge and Governor, thus making it more than just an attractive alternative, but an all around better option.

The versatility of such a firearm would be unprecedented, considering that it would be capable of chambering .410 Bore 2.5" and 3" Shotshells, .45 Colt, .454 Casull, .460 S&W Magnum, and .45 ACP with moon clips all in the same configuration without needing to swap out the cylinder or anything. As such, it could easily be marketed as the ultimate Wilderness Defense Revolver, capable of handling anything from small poisonous snakes to a mighty Grizzly Bear.
 
I just don't get this at all....

3. learn to point shoot sights are way over rated
The LCR by Ruger is 10x the better gun than any J-frame and even looks better.

The 3 642's I once own were all junk with everyone of them a different trigger feel.[/QUOTE]

And here I thought that my two J frames were as good as any gun out there and better than most. Shows you what I know.:confused:
 
1. A cap and ball Model 625 with extra cylinders swapped with Taurus' quick cylinder change system. Admittedly I'm not holding my breath till one makes it into the local gun store but since Taurus has demonstrated that push button yoke releases are possible --

2. A 610 with the Mountain Gun's slim barrel extended to 5" and an extra .38-40 Winchester cylinder.

[...] 3. learn to point shoot sights are way over rated [...]
While you might be the better back alley street fighter, lots of luck hunting or competing in matches with point shooting.

Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with preferring Rugers over comparable S&Ws and saying so here.

I've mentioned this before, but what I would really like to see is a scandium/stainless steel, round-butt K-frame in .38 Special or .357 Magnum with a 2" barrel (one-piece...no shroud), bobbed/DAO hammer, no internal lock, and a set of plain black Novak-style dovetailed sights like on the 640 Pro. Put a set of PGS Hideout Grips on it and it would be my ideal carry revolver.

Since the thread title is "Fantasy gun thread"...

I'd love a stainless 5 shot N frame cambered in either 5.56 or 308.

No lock of course.
 
My fantasy gun is one that the do gooders won't try to outlaw.

Generally any fantasy gun of mine would cause the average do gooder to have a coronary! :D

I'd like to see the Model 60-4 brought back as a series... that exact same frame and barrel configuration with chamberings in 38 Spl like the original, and stable mates in 327 Fed Mag (6 shot) and 22LR (8 or 9 shot or maybe even 10.) Those three revolvers would probably cover 90% of the hand gunning I do these days and do it with panache! :cool:
