Firearm wish list

Post by David »

What would you like that they don't (currently) make? What would you jump on in a second if they did?

I'd love for Sig or HK (preferably HK) to make a hammer-fired DA/SA pistol with thumb de-cocker/safety with a 10-round mag about the size of a Sig P365. If magazines were compatible with higher cap USP or P30/VP9 magazines it would be a plus.
A man cannot call himself peaceful if he is not capable of violence. If he's not capable of violence he isn't peaceful, he is harmless. There is a distinct difference.

A Keltec Sub 2000 pistol w/brace. Basically just a shorter Sub 2K, but with a brace instead of a stock.

It would be interesting to see how they would design that. They'd have to shorten the operating spring as well as the bolt assembly in order to shorten the overall length of the buffer tube. Be cool to see though. Would you envision the same 16 inch barrel or shorter? A bit shorter barrel should actually help the heavier bullets.

Not sure the length of the current buffer tube but as long as the LOP is less than 13.5" it would qualify as a pistol without a stock. The addition of a "brace" would still qualify. But, yeah I'd like to see a 10" bbl.

I'd love to see Ruger offer a "pistol" version of the 77/357. Put it in one of the braced chassis with a 10" barrel. That would allow me to run my suppressor without an SBR stamp. I can't think of a better straight wall deer gun.

That would be interesting. How about an Ruger American Ranch rifle in 357 and/or 44 mag or even a pistol version.

I was hoping the American Ranch was going to see a 357 an 44 version a few years ago when Ruger discontinued the 77/ series. A few months later they reintroduced them and that pretty much confirmed the American Ranch wasn't happening.

With the success of the Ruger American Ranch (RAR) rifle in 450BM and 350L you would think that Ruger would have gotten the message that straight walled cartridges sell in limited rifle zone states. In that both the 357 and 44 mags are still very popular in the limited rifle zone in my state (MI) they'd sell a million of them. Lever guns are stupid expensive these days, an affordable bolt gun would sell like hotcakes.

I already have two carbines in 44 mag (a Marlin lever gun and a Ruger carbine) and a Timberwolf pump gun in 357 but I'd buy RARs in both calibers if given the chance since it's easier and more versatile to reload for a bolt gun.
