Top break revolvers in Titanium?

[Deja vu]

I f it was a nice quality gun I would not have any issue laying down more than $1000.00 That said I would not lay down that money for a "cool gun" that does not work.

Maybe no company ever had such a grand idea.

Until very very recently it seems to me that firearms companies were interested in only new designs suitable for military contracts OR regurgitating old designs with VERY minor changes. Look at some of the VERY easy and OBVIOUS advances made in the last ten years. Why wasn't there a polymer revolver 5 years after the Glock? No police department or gov't agency was going to adopt any revolver.
Gun makers seem to be rediscovering the civilian market as a segment large enough to warrant R&D.

They probably thought of it and then said, oh no, DOD won't buy that.

I would think a modern top break that is cut for moon clips

both front and rear sights on the top (so the accuracy would not suffer from loose tolerance)

Double action like the lightning and thunder but more robust action parts

Jerry Miculek could make that sucker rock

It is amazing what pops up around here from time to time...

Vash the Stampede's 45LC Top Break Blaster

I'm sure Dirty Harry's Model 29 will rank highly. I think my 8-shot .357 TRR8 looks pretty mean, with its evil matte black finish and faceted shroud. Did I mention it's looks are backed up with 8 rounds of .357? Weighs as much as a gun half as intimidating, too

Taurus already came out with a Titanium Snubbie.. I have one in 45Colt a M450. Great gun however to expensive to make. If you ever see a Titanium Taurus snap it up.

Taylor's & Co make several Schofield reproductions in .38 Spec, .44-40 and .45 LC. There should be something there that appeals to fans of the top-break action. They're not cheap but from what I've heard they are of decent quality.
