What can S&W build for you?

[viceunit]

What gun would you buy if S&W would build it?? (assuming they could build it to a level of quality like this - pure fantasy) Here's my choice, hands down!

I would love S&W to build some single action revovlers.

 

[mnhntr]

i would love to see a small caliber, high power centerfire for varmint hunting. maybe a new cartridge design with ballistics similar to a 223 or 22-250

 

[ladder13]

The list is sooooo long....any of these NO lock
M21
M&P 340
M22
Any K or L with 3 inch barrel
Heavy Duty
and on and on

 

[girvin02]

I would love a 3" Model 66 with (never available) pinned/recessed configuration.

 

[bogman]

686 with 4"bbl. 5 shot .41 special

This came to fruition with a clone of Bill's 3", fixed sight .44. Man, what a handful!

I think an N-frame or X-frame .22 Hornet would be very cool, but I would really like a custom built .32 S&W long, like a PC Model 16 or a PC 932 Target Semi-Auto for NRA bullseye.

Nice! I love those fixed sight, heavy barrel N-frames. I wish SW had made a .44 magnum version of the model 58. Add that to my short list since Bill probably won't sell me that fixed sight 44 mag!

 

[TwoPoundPull]

I'd like to see more convertibles, 22lr/22mag, 45 Colt/45acp, and more...and more...

I would like all the ones that we all wanted in the old days, the ones S&W built for agency orders, but never offered commercially except through overruns:

3 & 4 inch 19 and 66 with ramp front
5 inch 15, 67, 19 and 66 with ramp front
5 inch 29 and 629 with red ramp/white outline
3 inch 10, 64, 13 and 65
Models 60 and 640 in original 38 configuration
686 in 7 shot Mountain Gun (tapered barrel) configuration
3rd Gen TSW Autos without rails in 5906, 4006, 4566 and 4506. Oops, almost forgot the excellent little single stack 9mm - is it the 3913?

That is a pretty good start.

The revolvers can all have the new frame with the cylinder lug (not sure if that is correct name) forged on, but I prefer no internal lock and the firing pin on hammer. MIM parts are OK, but prefer forged, just because.

You asked. . . .

A log cabin, on a lake, in the mountains (tax free).

 

[Bullseye Smith]

A "K" frame 327 cal with a 6 inch barrel would be the berries.

 

[MaineProbation]

K-frame version of the 640 (internal hammer) DAO in .38 special/.357 magnum.

 

[bronco45]

A really nice 66-3 in 2.5" or 3.0" that would be the cats pjs.

V,

You definitely have one of mine pictured there. I love a fixed sighted N frame.
