+1

This is a no-brainer and within the realm of reality.
 
Don't laugh. Promise?

I want a Model 3 in .44 Russian. I'd like a 5" barrel... but even a 6.5" would be nice.

+ 1 more for the night sights!

This is one of my favorite Smiths that was made in the late 90's. It came from the factory with night sights! Why did they stop???

6.5" barrel 44 Special Triple Lock, fixed sights.
Same with 4" barrel.
4" M25-2
M24 with the same barrel profile as a 3.5" M27
4" fixed sight M29
M24 6.5"
M26 6.5 and 4"
 
Here is my thing, S&W came out with the night guard series. The gun has a front night sight. and a solid BLACK rear sight. what good is that in a shoot out??? The C&S rear sight is thick enough to add night sights why didn't they just add the rear night sights? does not make sense to me. but what do I know I only carry during the day and night.PROFESSIONALLY
 
I would like to see an X frame in .429 (either a shortened frame for the 44 Mag, or a longer 44 Mag type cartridge).....fixed sights, 4" barrel, no full lenght underlug, fluted cylinder.
 
The fact is most everything we wish for has already been built at one time or another. Just build it again so we can find one! Oh, I am sure we can dream up a custom touch or so that wasnt done to a certain model or a 4 1/2" barrel or whatever. Several mentioned a hornet on a N or K frame. Well, the model 53 jet was even better! The idea evolved from the harvey K-chuck that somebody built in the 40s.
I think they should have a custom dept, that would have all types of parts in bins that they already have made and just let us order our own custom order and fit it up, barrel, round or square butt, what grips etc. Colt should do the same. I just dont see why that should be so hard to do!
 
8 shot, 3 1/2" slim barrel, round butt model 27 with no lock or a lock relocated to someplace where I don't have to look at it, think about it or deal with it if I don't want to. I think that is more than reasonable.
 
I think if S&W simply reproduced the TRUE old style diamond grips in magna and target...TRUE copies of the old grips...they could make me happy and their shareholder a profit.

I'd be happy with any of the popular old K or N frames Classics.

FN in MT
 
5 shot round but L-frame 45 Colt with fixed sights and a 3" model 13/65 style heavy barrel.

A 4"-6" 10MM L-frame with the half lug barrel.

Any 22mag K or L frame

625 45 colt with a 6" half lug barrel

All no lock no MIM no rubber grips.
 
My dream gun currently is a Model 35 in good shape. Box/paperwork/cleaning kit would be nice. I want a shooter. beaver.
 
NO LOCK----Anything.
I would love to have a Model 22, K17 with 5" brl, M27 with 3 1/2" brl, and a 22/32 Kit Gun.
