What is your dream revolver? - Page 6

I would like a S&W "K" or "L" round butt frame 3 inch heavy bbl with Novak combat sights and "Hard Chromed" finnish in .45 ACP and using 5 shot MOON CLIPS. I think that would be an OUTSTANDING combat revolver at least for me. I shoot both revolvers and SA revolvers and Automatics and I prefere SA or DA revolvers. I think that a 3 inch bbl DA revolver in a moderate big-bore caliber using MOON clips is a perfect comination.

I have two 45 ACP moonclip guns but have to ask where you would plan on concealing the moonclips? I would rather carry my Kimber or my SW696, 5-shot 44 special and a speedstrip. Shoot about the same.

But it's your dream...carry on.

A reincarnation of the top break, 3 in barrel and with cylinder sized to the new .40 caliber zeke. .40 rimmed.

There are a lot of revolvers out there, I don't have, that I am slowly buying. So it would probably be the Colt Python. It is the only revolver that I want I can't afford right now.

diggler1833 · October 23, 2014, 11:35 AM

Colt SAA in .44-40, doesn't matter the year of production.

MR.G · October 23, 2014, 09:13 PM

My dream gun is a S&W 627 V-Comp PC 3".357 eight shot with removable compensator, target hammer, smooth combat trigger, adjustable front sight, micrometer click adjustable rear sight, cylinder machined for moon clips, Wolf springs, and tuned. Will probably keep it till I die.

Model12Win · October 24, 2014, 12:39 PM

I want a Colt's trooper Mk V with a 4" barrel and royaled blue finish. That would have to be my dream revolver.

There is one on Gun Broker right now, but it's already well above my price range.

The Uberti 1875 Remington replica in 44-40 that I have ought to suit for awhile and for a lot less money, while being one you are not afraid to shoot. CME Holsters developed a special SAA stitch pattern variation to accommodate the webbed barrel.

GaryED50 · October 24, 2014, 06:45 PM

May sound funny but Smith and Wesson model 24 in 44-40

I will bring home my Rossi 720 .44 spc next week, but the ones I want and lust after are the S&W model 24 and 624 i want both in a 3" barrel but I would take 4" too, I have had a 624 3" in my hands once but did not have the $875 to bring it home

subhuman · October 24, 2014, 09:01 PM

Tomrkba that thing is beautiful
S&W Model 24

Jim March · October 24, 2014, 10:52 PM

I want the Hughes Amendment to FOPA86 gone so I can tap more muzzle gas and rig it to an auto-cocker so I can turn Maurice full auto. I'd use a manually controlled gas waste-gate to turn autococking off.

Polaris · October 25, 2014, 09:52 PM

An Alfa Proj 9mm, 4.5" barrel.

It takes 6 round moon clips, and feels at least as good in the hand as my Ruger GP100 (which is also very nice)... and the Alfa Proj is even cheaper to shoot.

S&W 642, 4" barrel, adjustable sights.
Would be the ultimate field revolver and a great addition to a 2" CCw.

barnbwt · October 26, 2014, 08:49 AM

More Manhurin MR73s or parts, would be a boon to all. Heck, just copying their super short travel lockwork into a Smith or Ruger would be pretty awesome.

Now there's a door buster special. Maybe this list is no longer serious.

montanaoffroader · October 26, 2014, 01:08 PM

I wouldn't mind owning a Medusa Model 47......but they are out of my reach at the moment.

First runner up: Colt Anaconda 6"

Crazy Carl · October 26, 2014, 03:26 PM

Ruger Super Blackhawk Bisley Hunter in .41 Mag. S&W 657 Classic Hunter & 5.5" 627 vie for 2nd place.

sig220mwxxxx · October 27, 2014, 12:00 AM

Mine is my Ruger Lipsey's model 44 special with its 4 5/8 inch barrel. It is one of the original 2000 they made in 2009 and a great shooter.

passtime · October 27, 2014, 03:13 AM

Right now it is a Ruger GP100 1705. I am about to realize this dream though. I have one on layaway and should be picking it up the first of December...

pete950 · October 27, 2014, 05:57 AM

A nice 3 inch model 10 and a 64 with a barel like the ones on the model 65 lady smith

hank327 · October 29, 2014, 11:18 PM

Mine is a Smith & Wesson Model 520 .357 Magnum N frame that was made for the New York State Police back in 1980. Think of it as a Model 13 on steroids!

Greguw · October 30, 2014, 03:02 PM

Smith & Wesson stop producing internal locks on revolvers would be a nice dream .I would like to see Colt go back into production of revolvers .
Ruger stop stamping warning words all over there barrels .
I'm not that picky !

How about something important? If you only like the old guns, only money and a good search stand between you and your dream revolver.

I just had (6) guns fitted with trigger lock plugs.

Boy, I'm with you on the warning stamped on Rugers. But I like those guns and am keeping them.

Colt...meh. I am so frustrated with prices of guns too nice and too valuable to actually shoot. If they went back into production, we would just spawn a subculture of those who like to reminisce about how much nicer the old ones were.

ChiefMuzz · October 30, 2014, 09:26 PM

It's pretty simple.
A 480 Ruger Bisley. I wouldn't be picky with either a 5.5 or 7.5 inch barrel.
If Ruger doesn't build it soon enough, Bowen will have to do it for me.

shedlock · November 3, 2014, 01:29 PM

A Smith & Wesson K38 Combat Masterpiece. I currently have a K22 Outdoorsman that I am looking to replace with the K38. K22 is pretty much the same revolver, hell even the same K frame, but there is something to be said be said about the loved .38cal round.
