Plain Jane Ruger #1 (equivalent to bringing back the #3).
YES,YES I agree! plain Jane like the Wrangler revolver, do it in a #3.1 or call it a #4, pleasePlain Jane Ruger #1 (equivalent to bringing back the #3).
OK.
Here’s what I want in a Ruger revolver. They’ll never make it, but here’s what I want nonetheless:
1.) Start with a a large frame, the Super Redhawk would work. Now instead of investment casting the frame I want it forged, and then finish machined. Use the strongest steel possible for a revolver frame, stainless steel is not necessary. We will be applying a corrosion resistant finish anyway.
2.) All lock work will be machined from forgings, and fitted to the tightest tolerances possible. There will be only enough clearances in the lockup to allow for reliable operation in adverse conditions. The trigger will be tuned to render an outstanding double action pull, the single action will inevitably be good either way for those who insist on doing it wrong.
3.) Barrel will be cold hammer forged of CMV 4150 or better steel. Preferably a liner with an external shroud ala Korth. Barrel interior will be hard chrome lined including the forcing cone. Barrel shroud will be offered in full underlug and partial underlug.
4.) Cylinder will be machined from a forging, fitting will be by line boring the chambers once the bolt notches have been cut and fitted to the bolt in the frame. Chambers will be hard chrome lined.
5.) Front sight will be easily changed by the end user. Adjustable rear sight. The top strap of the frame will be machined to accept an Aimpoint ACRO P-1 as an option, and a blended cover plate will be included. Additionally the top strap may be drilled and tapped to accept a picatinny rail.
6.) Exterior finish and frame internal finish minus lock work will be salt bath nitrocarburizing. Lock work will be Robar NP3. Also an option for full NP3 should be offered, as well as high polish bluing.
7.) Grips shall be the customer’s choice. I’d like to see Ruger buy the rights to the Trausch grip style and offer those in rubber, wood, and G10.
8.) Offer this top of the line revolver in .357 Magnum, .41 Magnum, and 44 Magnum.
The goal is a highly accurate, highly refined revolver for hard use that is built to be heirloom quality with no corners cut or any concessions made to doing things just good enough, or to a strict budget.
Why stop there - make it an entirely new generation of revolver with a range of grip sizes and 4-6" barrels too. Just don't discontinue the GP100Steel revolver with 2" and/or 3" barrel, real replaceable front and rear sights, 6 round capacity, and the LCR trigger that'll compete against S&W j-frames, Colt Cobra, and Kimber K6s.
Then what you really want is for Freedom Arms to do a double action.
Well yeah, and double the cost. My 41 Special GP100 cost me around $1350.And this is precisely why we have custom revolver builders! If the mothership won’t build it, you can still have it built (within reason)!

OK.

I doubt it, I've emailed the "ask the CEO" link on the Ruger website many times about my dream gun and have yet to get a response
OK.
