If it were up to me, it would be a series '70 1911.

For me a 1005 and a 1016! And maybe a 1056 since I think the 4056 is so cool.

357 automatic to compete with Coonan.
Scandium framed 4513TSW, the early version with no rail. 7-round flush fit mag, melonite finish, Novak night sights, decock only. THIN rubber grips too. Match grade 3.75 inch barrel. Maybe a Briley bushing too. Regards 18DAI

39-3, with adjustable sight without those God-awful wings.

Well, for one thing.....
It would be all metal. Any combo. I like my 5943 with alum frame and SS slide.

I like the way you think 18 but I'm afraid the Scandium frame is going to push the price point of that gun waaaayy north of $1000....so lets be pragmatic and make it with a polymer frame and since what you described sounds like a battle weapon lets make sure it's "bet your life reliable"....obviously we keep the .45ACP, barrel under 4" ,hammer fired(no stinking strikers),overly engineered , dead nut accurate,great triggers out of the box with no after market modifications needed,a selectable manual of arms since everydody doesn't like TDA or DAO, and lets add 1 more round and make it an even 8.....and some how we do all that with a gun that looks good...

Well, it would be polymer lower, with a super corrosion-resistant and non-reflective finish on the upper, the barrel and internal parts. There would be no weak springs that required fiber fillers to prevent them from shattering. There would be provision for a lanyard. There would be the usual internal safeties to prevent the weapon firing if dropped, or out of battery, etc.
It would be available in 9mm, .40, and .45 ACP. It would have user adjustable sights that were protected against abuse, but adjustable by a screwdriver.
It would be offered in a modular chassis system, so that the chassis is the serial numbered part. It would be available in sub-compact, compact, duty, and competition lengths. The compact 9/.40 would be the size of a Glock 19, only thinner.
It would have replaceable grips to allow for various hand sizes.
The slide would be rounded, not square. It would come with three magazines. The magazines would also be finished in a super corrosion resistant finish. Magazines would be compatible among models, so that longer magazines would fit and function in the smaller models.
The standard model would have the Euro style phosphorescent sights (those are the ones that glow for 30 minutes if you shine a light on them), with night sights as an option.
It would have an end user replaceable fire control system that would allow it to be changed from a constant action (same trigger pull each shot) to a traditional striker-at-rest DA system where the first shot required a longer trigger pull, and subsequent shots were fired with the same pull as the constant action. It would have a tactile re-set (not because I like that or even care about it, but just to shut up all the people who think that is a required part of any pistol).
It would allow for the end user to install a single- or ambi-thumb safety, if desired. It would also allow the end user to install or remove parts to have a magazine disconnector safety, should the end user so desire.
It would be reliable with or without sound suppressor, and with or without tactical light installed on the Picatinny rail. It would be capable of surviving and performing reliably after being subjected to all of the usual testing or torture scenarios that are standard these days.
The weapon would be tested for and be fully expected to run without major parts replacement for at least 100,000 rounds.
That is a pretty good start on a wish list.

Lets take the Shorty 40 as the base gun to modify. First let's change the frame to stainless like the slide. Then lengthen the barrel to 4". Keep the same size grip and all the other PC features. I like the LPA adjustable sights that are on mine but make it a blacked out U-notch blade to go along with a green tritium fiber optic front sight. DA pull at 7 lbs and the SA pull at 4 lbs.
I'd offer this in 10mm and since I don't have a pistol in this caliber yet, 357 Sig.
Oh yeah, ship it with three mags. One the regular pinky extension mag, a flatbottom flush mag, and an extended high capacity mag.

I neglected to mention mine in the original post. Using the model numbering system,it would be a 3946.
A single stack .357 Sig would be awesome too!

3946?
A full size, all stainless, single-stack, DAO, 9mm?
Cool!
You can wait for S&W to produce it or you can swap 4 relatively inexpensive parts on a 3906 and have it now easy-peasy.
A single stack .357 Sig?
Not so easy.

I don't care what it looks like, or what it's made of. I only have two criteria: it's reliable, and it always hits where I wanted to hit, whether it was aimed properly or not.
