[tarosean]

a Pony roll marked DW 1911 for me please

 

[Ohen Cepel]

Dan Wesson revolvers back fully would be my pick.

I'd like to see the buy Vista Outdoor Sporting.

To me, the most glaring hole in the current Colt revolver lineup is an aluminum snub. In this era of CCW, it doesn't make sense not to produce one. Bring out the Cobra in a 2" and 3" aluminum model.

Maybe even on a smaller frame, like a direct competitor to the J-frame. A new Pocket Positive, 5-shot, aluminum, 9mm or .38 perhaps?

I'm not sure they would be interested in introducing something entirely new. I'd be happy with their sticking with updated versions of old designs. Back in the day they had an aluminum snub. If they want to stick with historic names, they haven't used Detective Special (which is good for a CCW gun). If they want to continue to use snake names, they could do Copperhead. If they want their historic snake names, well... the aluminum Commander 1911 is the Lightweight Commander so why not the Lightweight Cobra?

Anyway, a light weight version of the Cobra should sell well.

Several Vietnam veterans I know ran into Kraits in the jungle. A Sidewinder might describe a small frame revolver with a swing-out cylinder...

Detective Special in .357!!!! ooooh YES

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

Detective Special in .357!!!! ooooh YES

Closest thing to that would be a Magnum Carry, only made for 1 year.

I think they consider the King Cobra pretty close in the lineup now. I DO think they could sell a smaller 5-shot, competing with the J-Mag and SP, but it would require a whole new frame.

Well, the cylinder turns the wrong way, for one thing.

Ruger has an 8-shot .357 Redhawk out there as well.

But of course, they ain't Colts!

Never thought I'd say this about an N-frame but man, that thing is ugly!

 

[someguy2800]

I don't care about any of them, I would like a new Dan Wesson 44 magnum.

 

[Mark_Mark]

just needs a new grip! Perl handle or ivory!

 

[J-Bar]

.357 Mags in a lightweight snubby is not fun.

I pass.

I got to mess around and find out!

Those little polymers rugers is calling me or a S&W PD

 

[Old Dog]

All the choices seem to be nothing more than
"catch ups" with S&W and Ruger.

Nah.

Although -- I would like to see Colt come out with an 8-shot .357 Magnum with a 5" half-lugged barrel (kinda comparable to the 627 PC).

Possibly one of the ugliest revolvers ever produced. Oh wait, there's always the Chiappa Rhino...

yeah man… I can’t buy a Rhino either

Love showing off, but that gun is TRY HARD 1,000%

 

[Miami_JBT]

A nicely appointed Colt SAA for $1000 or less, with unbreakable coil and wire springs instead of the criminally vulnerable flat springs.

Edit:

Yeah I know it sounds like a Blackhawk. And if Colt can't make an SAA better than a Blackhawk then forget it.

Colt did that with the Colt Cowboy back in the '90s. It was an unmitigated disaster.

 

[Miami_JBT]

I'd like for Dan Wesson revolvers to be made again.

 

[UncleEd]

What was it, about five years ago, DW produced again though
expensive. So how many sold? I don't think many. A flop.
Why again because a few gun forums posters wish it so.

 

[bannockburn]

Have always had a soft spot for the Trooper line-up. My first .357 Magnum was a Trooper Mk. III and I had a couple of Mk. Vs that I was rather fond of.

That and how about bringing back the New Frontier .22LR/.22 Magnum. Loved the way they looked with the color case hardened frame and the bluing.

I am familiar with the Colt Cowboy. With its investment cast frame, frame mounted firing pin, and transfer bar, it was a Ruger Vaquero clone. It deserved to be a disaster. What I am asking for, and unlikely to get, is the classic Colt SAA with unbreakable wire hand spring and unbreakable wire trigger/bolt spring, and classic finish at less than $1000. That's all. I can live with a flat hammer spring, no need to go to a coil spring there. Keep the old style firing pin on the hammer.

If I ever get a Colt SAA (unlikely), I will replace the flat hand spring and trigger/bolt spring with wire springs. I did that to every Uberti and Pietta percussion revolver I ever owned so they would not break down in competition. I will not be competing with any Colt SAA, but I don't need the aggravation of broken springs.

That's never going to happen. The Ruger New Vaquero has an MSRP over $1000 now. Although you may want to look into the new US finished Piettas that are on the horizon.

They sold at a similar price as the new production Pythons and Anacondas.
