(hate the huge base plate on the ruger .45 mags)

You haven't seen a huge baseplate till you meet a Star Ultrastar 9mm(though I have to say if Pow'rball was around when I had one, I'd still have it...cool carry gun, it just would not feed any JHP I tried, Corbon's 115 (my favorite 'nina' food) choked it 3-5x per 9 shots). I mean like (roughly, and memories ages old, possibly a centilla of exaggeration but not alot) .4" width for the mag body, 1.5" for the baseplate width. Seriously ridiculous. Nice to help snatch out of a pouch or whatever, not so great to carry a spare.

Handled a P345 the other day, always said no more P series would I ever own (out of snobbery and lack of ergonomic comfort/fit/feel, reliability was never a concern of course being a Ruger, though my target groups looked like a 30 yard buckshot blast, but that was prolly me-I can only get .45 GM 1911's to go POA) but this model actually had great ergo's. The predecessor P-97 had to be the best fullsize IWB .45 ever, and Ruger's poly beats any as far as not having that 'out of the park with an aluminum bat' stinging sensation. The P345 is a nice gun and after a pocket auto and scout, might strongly consider it (maybe not, with the Para Expert out there going for the same rate). But I do like it a lot.
 
I would like to see Glock make a true midsized .45acp and 10mm. Take a 21sf and chop the grip and barrel/slide to model 23/19 length. Make it an honest 3 finger grip. Not a subcompact with an extended mag base plate.
 
and a Sig 226 in 45

Isn't that the P220? They're the exact same dimensions AFAIK.

Anyway, agree with the "any .380 in 9mm" folks. I, too, have that thought going through my head when I look at my LCP or the other tiny .380s out there. We need more options in true pocket 9s other than the Rohrbaugh (sorry PM9 fans - if it don't fit in my jeans pocket comfortably, it ain't a pocket pistol. :p)

actually no, the 220, being a single-stack .45, has a more slender but slightly wider (as in the length from back to front) grip than the 226.

The difference is subtle, but certainly there.
 
S&W 317 AL Kit Gun in .22 Mag

I believe that S&W has made 3" .22Mag 351s in the past, but I'll have to double-check.
Since we're dreaming, I'd like a 7 shot J Frame in .327.

By the time you made the cylinder big enough to fit 7 rounds, you'd have a K frame, which BillCA has already listed.

Speaking of the .327 K frame wish list, I've had the following two S&Ws on it just about forever:

1) "616" 7-shot .327Mag K frame, steel frame and cylinder, adjustable sights, SS finish, 4" full-underlug 1-piece barrel. I'd buy this gun in a heartbeat.

2) "316NG" 7-shot .327Mag K frame, scandium frame, SS cylinder, front night sight / C&S Xtreme Duty fixed rear sight, black finish like the other Night Guards, 2-1/2" partial-underlug barrel. I'll buy this gun after I recover from #1. ;)
 
Something that looks like the Model 10 on steroids. Large frame, bull barrel in .45 LC and .44 Special. Maybe .44 or .41 mag.

I think they have (or are going to) brought back the M-58 .41 Mag in the Classics line
 
Lots of good posts here (but so little time at the moment), so I'll concede these may have been covered, in no particular order except the first:
* Ruger New Vaquero in .44 Special (no brainer and they've already got the "jigs" from the Lipsey's special)--maybe/also in .44S/.44-40 convertible if the latter'll fit
* Ruger NV in convertible .32-20/.327--satisfy the cowboys + others in one fell swoop
* Ruger NV in convertible .38-40/.40 S&W--ditto traditional cowboy + modern/plinkers all in one
* Ruger Single Six in .327 (I did see this one listed earlier; another no-brainer)
* K Frame-3"/7 shot .327--ditto mentioned earlier; someone also mentioned in an alloy/lightweight and probably not a terrible idea either.
* Dan Wesson CBOB (1911) in .40 S&W, just because
 
I wish they would chamber a Desert Eagle in .500 S&W.

I wish they would chamber a Beretta in 5.7.

I wish they would chamber a Desert Eagle in .410.
 
I'd like to see a modern polymer-framed, double-stacked pistol chambered in 7.62x25.

Imagine a G19-sized package with 15+1 if that nasty little round?

FUN!!!

Don't think it'd work too well due to the propensity for rimlock. :(
