What would you ask a gun mfgr to build? - Page 2

A Gen 5 Glock where they switch to a true 4 lb 1911 style trigger pull, grip safety and manual thumb safety.....but keep the striker....narrow the slide to .9"....make the grip feel more M&P like.....and switch to SS magazine bodies.

aarondhgraham · December 27, 2015, 09:51 AM

I too would like to see a single-shot .22 pistol,,,
But for some reason the ones that are made are somewhat funky.

Rossi makes one with two barrels,,,
One barrel is for .22 LR and the other is .45/410.

I have no use for the 45/410 barrel,,,
And they made the frame-grip too clunky.

It's a shame too,,,
I would have bought a pair of .22's,,,
If they would have made them with a bit more style.

Aarond,
I thought that CZ did make that .22.
I recall the 'Alfa Project' Czechpoint guns a while back.
I meant to try for a couple, but forgot as
other interests came up.
Last time I checked, there were none
of any caliber in stock on their site.

Pricing was in that under 300 category.

I always wanted to see S&W come out with a three inch
target sighted j-frame in .25acp.
In a quality gun, the .25 is a very accurate cartridge.

I could believe there might some who see that pistol as a somewhat limited market item, so,

How about a new cartridge.25 caliber revolver instead?
Case length of a .32 H&R magnum with re-inforced primer pockets(or even a smaller diameter primer)
and a thicker case web to let you step on the gas a bit if desired.
Nice little trail gun with 60 - 86gr. SWCs and no recoil.

But my first choice would still be that 'lil acp.

standard lowered and flared ejection port
external extractor
barrel without a collet bushing.

Other than that....
A modern interpretation of the High Standard 10B bullpup shotgun, preferably one that had downward ejection.

A .44Mag lever action from Ruger, made to handle them Ruger-only loads.

Anything from Astra, as long as they start manufacturing again...

Creek Henry · December 27, 2015, 12:04 PM

A 5 shot Ruger in 360 DW+p. That would be a thumper

kilimanjaro · December 27, 2015, 12:08 PM

A Gatling gun in .223/5.56.

i want a compact polymer striker .22TCM. Dont care who makes it, but under $500 would be nice

Well, sort of.
The action is a reduced size No.4 MK.1.

I really enjoyed this Australian made one until my nephew

picked it for his 15th birthday present.
And yes, it was a mistake to let him have his choice!

Any magazine longer than 20 rounds (ten round magazines in the photos) really gets in the way of your support arm though.

Is it possible to engineer a centerfired takedown rifle, or are the chamber pressures too high to do it safely? I'd love an ultralight bolt action .223 takedown carbine.

Or, if I lived in a free state, an integrally suppressed takedown 300 blackout, like some of the 10/22 builds I've seen.

That is motor driven, so civilians are not able to own one. A Gatling style crank gun would be citizen legal.

For a rifle I'd like to see a 357 max lever rifle that could also feed 357 magnum and 38 special. If BHA was able to figure out a 460 rifle I would think the 357 max wouldn't be too hard.

For a pistol a defensive pistol designed around being suppressed with a proprietary suppressor. Not necessarily "integrally" suppressed.

JT-AR-MG42, more details on that rifle.

I wouldn't mind a brass frame 22lr single action or a top-break.

There have been many center-fire take-down produced. Not aware of any in 223.

Onward Allusion · December 27, 2015, 04:00 PM

I would ask Taurus to produce their 608 in 327 Fed Mag that holds 9 or 10 rounds.

James K · December 27, 2015, 06:30 PM

I would like to see a slender 9mm, single stack, about the size of the French Model 1935A or the FN 1911-22. It could be DA/SA or just SA (1911 type). Most 9mms are either unnecessarily large (M9) and bulky (Glocks) or pocket size (LCP 9). I think something in between would be nice.

Fla_dogman · December 27, 2015, 07:09 PM

I would like a revolver with a quick change barrels and cylinders so you could change calibers and barrel lengths easily. This way the same trigger and frame could house anything from 22 - 44 mag with barrel lengths from 2 inches to 8. It should have a rail on the top for a scope/red dot and attachment for a rail below the barrel that is also removable. It should be light weight for concealed carry. That's all

**4V50 Gary** · December 27, 2015, 07:24 PM

9mm semi that is easy for women and arthritic hands to pull the slide back.

breakthrough · December 27, 2015, 07:36 PM

a gun which has some in build mechanism that suppresses the sound to a level that is not damaging to ears

gbran · December 27, 2015, 08:46 PM

S&W scandium 649 w/moon clips.

LockedBreech · December 27, 2015, 08:53 PM

I'd like to see what Ruger is capable in a semiauto service pistol. NOT like the SR9 or 9E, I mean meant to be retail priced in the $550-600 bracket, devoid of redundant safety gunk.

Exactly the one I was thinking of. As I understand it, it's available in Canada but prohibited for US import due to some Vietnamese manufactured parts

As I've said before, a Ruger SRH Alaskan 4" (full underlug; no stepped-down barrel) in .454 Casull would be nice.

gyvel · December 28, 2015, 02:07 AM

THE dream gun: A Smith & Wesson reissue of the Model 45 .22lr, with NO Hillary hole and NO MIM parts, and built on the older style frame.

Jim, take a look at a Zastava "CZ88" 9mm pistol. It is just the right size for a 9mm.

You actually may want to look at a used Astra A70.

jeepdude1987 · December 28, 2015, 04:06 AM

FNAR with more configurations and calibers options other than the .308win. Specifically 6.5creedmoor and/or .260rem and a 20" barrel that is either similar to the contour of an H-bar in AR's or similar in weight to that and fluted like the ones they offered early in the products life.
