N frame round butt .357, 3 & 1/2" barrel, fixed sights, "T" trig and "T" hammer. Pinned and rec. Cyl. No lockey. The same gun in .45 LC would do just fine, too.

A 3 shot, 1 7/8", .44Mag J-frame (or equivalent, just big enough to fit the round). I shall name it either ManMaker or WidowMaker! (depending on the first shooter's fate)

On the serious side, if I must...:
An 8-shot .32-20 N frame with 6" barrel. Make a scandium version and we'll call it a 328.

Theoretically, it's possible for the barrel to loosen. As a matter of probability, no. While I prefer pinned and recessed 29s, I do have a 29-3 blued 6" that has never given trouble. I consider it a shooter rather than a collectible. There would be no real advantage in trying to add a pin; leave it alone.

I would like to see options to this such as 3" or 4" barrel,
various sights, round or square butt, ports or none, various
grips.
They would sell a bunch of these I suspect.

I'll take a 6" Model 10 Heavy Barrel, round butt, with target hammer and trigger.
I've always had a soft spot for the 6" M&P's-M10's, and I love the 4" HB's, and I always thought a 6" HB would be a winner.
While they're at it, I'll take a 64 the same way

Put me down for one of these in 6"
I'd also take one of the K-frame centennial 6 shot .357s
1) 3" 5-shot L-Frame fixed sight SS .44 Spl NO LOCK
2) 4" 7-shot K-Frame Combat Masterpiece .327 NO LOCK
2) 4" 7-shot K-Frame Combat Masterpiece .327 NO LOCK

I would ask for a 10MM L frame with 3" barrel with moon clips and in round butt configuration. Stainless steel, bead blasted with a medium heavy short lug barrel with a good set of rubber grips.
The 10 MM when properly loaded with 200 grain and heavier bullets is not that much less than a .41 Mg., so I would think that properly loaded, it would be adequate against anything up to and including black bear. And with less robust loads it is death delivered to bad guys.
I would guess that an L frame in a 3" 10MM would be south of 36oz in weight, so it should carry well.

A 12 round, factory "action-tuned", bright blue N-frame .22LR, with a 12" heavy barrel, no sights, factory drilled/tapped/equipped with Leupold scope mount, with reproduction coke-style target grips.
How's that for wet 'n wild?

I would be cast hopelessly into backruptcy. My child would not got to college. My wife would divorce me.
I would be living under a bridge with a full gunsafe and a smile that would light up the world.

Stay out of my mind!
I had the same idea except mine was a 4 inch with adjustable sights.... but I'd order your 3 inch with fixed sights.

Build me a model 696 with a 3 1/2 inch bbl, same profile as the bbl. on a model 27, 3 1/2" . Same sights and topstrap/bbl.rib treatment too(No front sight insert and no white outline). Put a target hammer on her and a semi target width trigger with a highly polished trigger face. Build it out of carbon steel and polish it to the max then blue it . Make the single action trigger break like a glass rod and set the weight of both single and double action for safe carry/combat. Round butt of course with smooth magnas out of birdseye maple. I'll put the Tyler grip adapter on her when she gets here. Hey Smith and Wesson, I'm waiting...and oh yeah, leave off the IL.

I forgot to include that, about the sights. I too would want adjustable sights and I certainly would not turn down a 4" barrel gun in this configuration either.

First and formost-no lock and no MIM.
My recipe for the perfect carry revolver.
Stainless .45 Colt N frame with the cylinder machined to take .45ACP in moonclips. Tappered barrel and fixed sights. 4" Square butt.
Think an enlarged M64

One of each, a fixed sighted .44 Mag. & a mod 58. Hammer mounted firing pins, no lock, & round butt so you could put either a square butt or round butt stocks on them. The .44 should be sighted at the factory for 245/255gr bullets & the 58 sighted for 220gr bullets @ 25 yards. The front sights should be pinned in similar to the new mod. 21s so it could be changed if you wanted to.
Well we are dreaming, right?

Love all the "if they would only build" gun ideas.
As for the "custom order" program, they have already done that. Back in the mid '80s S&W had an advertising campaign where you could order most stock model numbers and have a choice of barrel length, hammer, trigger and sights. I think that was in those Bangor-Penta days. As I remember, mine took about 4 weeks.
I ordered a 686 with 8 3/8", adjustable front sight, target hammer and target trigger. It was a fine gun, very tight and accurate.
