What is your dream revolver?

I have mine!! a Stainless 4 5/8" .357 Ruger Vaquero! Great revolver.
All I added was a set of synthetic Stag Grips. Groovs fit fingers and fill in voids under palm of hand.Grip filled in and steadier.
The Vaquero is heavy enough that fullhouse loads are comfortable to fire!
Carry in a Sholder rig or crossdraw.

Well, one of my dream guns would be a Smith & Wesson K frame, 357 Magnum, 3 inch barrel, round butt, hammerless (DAO), with a trigger system like the Ruger LCR. Like a Model 13 with changes.
 
Sa- a modern Merwin pocket in 44 mag,
Possibly a ruger Blackhawk in 7.62x39

Da- a ruger gp 100 blued 5" bbl with Half underlug(see ruger gp100 Match champion) BLUED, Novak night sights in 7.62x39(rifle rounds for black bear & pigs! And possibly the tree behind it ;-) )

My dream revolver will have a rust and scratch proof blued finish, recoil like a .22 but hit like a 454, will have a three inch barrel and weigh around two pounds. Oh and even with my old eyes my dream gun will shoot one inch groups off hands. If someone could send me such gun I'm not real picky, it could be a double or single action, I'm comfortable with either.
 
Ruger GP-100:

1. Thin 2 1/2 inch bbl.
2. DAO.
3. Polished and chamfured chambers.
4. Lightning cuts on frame stem to reduce weight.
5. Ramp front sight with dark red insert.
6. Wood combat boot grips.
7. Chambered for .41 magnum (and like the .454, strengthened.)

A carbon steel version of the S&W 640 with the smaller frame size of the 38SPL only no dash. A long enough barrel to have an ejector rod that clears spent cases fully. With a mat phosphate finish and all the sharp edges rounded.
 
Currently under construction...
Dual Cylinder Taurus M607/608 hybrid. The eight-round cylinder shoots .38 Special and .357 Mag but also a .357 Rimless Mag made from .223 brass cut down to 1.30" and uses the factory full-moon clips for the .30 Carbine revolver. The seven-round cylinder will be chambered in .360 Dan Wesson.

My absolute dream revolver would be a .360 Dan Wesson/.44 Mag large frame Dan Wesson with an Alaskan Guide-style 4" barrel, a SuperMag-style 8" and 10" VS barrel with a scope on the 10".
A bit out of my price range to build that.

I love bullet options, do you?

I absolute love a gun that is versatile.I recently purchased the new Ruger Redhawk that now shoots both .45acp and .45colt. with the help of moon clips. Now, if only we could see the guys over at ruger use the exact same principles to the cylinders of both the SP101 and Gp100 to shoot 9mm along with .38sp and .357mag. I have talked to some of the Ruger development staff, and they said all it would take is people getting on their website and emailing customer service about making this happen. If they get enough people with that demand, it will be a reality. One of the guys I talked to said he would bring it up at a meeting today. Whoever is reading this and wants to see this happen, come on! All it takes is a quick email to Ruger customer service!
 
Somebody else mentioned wanting a PPC Revolver and that would include me! I lucked onto a near mint S&W Model 10 back in 2012 and sent it off to Clark Custom Guns last year. It's addictive!

Something like this? I know it's not a GP-100, but along the same lines.

Taurus 431, 44 Special. K-frame size, 3" barrel, five shots.



I've only put about 100 rounds through this one, but I tell you it is fun to shoot. A little too heavy for me to want to carry these days, but it would work.

I posted earlier about a Smith & Wesson 24-3, 44 Special I had, but another I had and had sort of forgotten about is the Model 28. I think the Model 28 was the first revolver I ever really WANTED, specifically. When I was a very young man, just out of high school, I saw one in the case at a local department store. I'm sure it was a Model 28, because I think I did dream about that gun. Man I wanted it. But, and again, I'm dealing with 40 year old memories, it was tagged at $129.00. :eek: In those long ago days, it might as well have been a million dollars.

Flash forward. I did buy a Model 28, but like most of the rest of my collection, it got sold during a time of "economic downturn" (I was out of work).

A few weeks ago, I walked into my LGS and spotted this one in the case. The S/N indicated about 1970 as a ship date (about the same time I saw that one in the department store now that I think of it) still in the box. I believe it to have been unfired, even though the stocks had been replaced with a nice set of Eagle carry grips. I put it on layaway and it came home with me a few days later.



I don't normally shoot a lot of magnum ammo, but I had a box of Federal 158 grain JSP's. Man this gun is fun with that stuff. But the Eagles were like holding onto a wood rasp.

So I found a set of Magna grips, and added a BK grip adapter. The grips don't look as nice as the gun itself, but they'll do.





Kinda long I know, but sometimes the back story needs to be told.

(The next dream will be either an 27-2 with a 3.5" barrel, or one of the new 27's with a 4" barrel.)
