Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns What new handgun are you hoping for at SHOT SHOW?

That's a seriously cool old school GAT you have there...I like it.

I'm thinking Remington should just about have the kinks worked out on that R51.

Yes, it screams 1978.

LOL. Actually, those are going for cheap (NIB) at the big online gun stores right now.

I don't much care what they introduce but I hope it results in a lot of nice old classics getting traded in so I can scarf those up.

I'm with you there.

S&W 18 and a 4" 48 in stainless.

I have a 6" 617 and don't like the full under-lug barrel for both the forward weight and the aesthetics.

If I had a stainless 4" 48 to replace the Rossi 515s that I'm currently using I'd be happy, happy, happy!

I REALLY like my Kimber K6S DASA, so I’d be interested if they were to bring out a full size DASA in .44 mag or perhaps .45 Colt. I know the chances are near zero that will happen, but doesn’t hurt to ask.

Ruger LCP or LCP II in 32 Auto.

I don't give a schitt about any introductions....I'd be happy just to be able to go to my lgs and buy a Gen 5 Glock 34.

Can I be #3 on a new issue Ruger Old Army? Be Well, RZ.

While we're doing Ruger reintroductions, yes, that's high on my list, along with the SRM with a 7-1/2" barrel and a Super Blackhawk .44 with the 10-1/2" tapered barrel and R-series Redhawks.

For new, I wish Ruger would offer a R-series GP-100, 6 shot, 7-1/2" barrel. Similarly, I'd like to see a single six or single seven .32 mag or .327 with a 7-1/2 inch barrel set up for Ruger rings .. a hunter model, in other words. I'd like to see the GP-160 models return along with a standard, not match champion, 4" with a half-lug barrel and adjustable sights.

I wish S&W would bring back the L and N frames with 8-3/8" barrels.

More than anything else, though, I'd love to see all of the guns in dealer catalogs / web sites actually available over the counter for purchase.

Well, I doubt I would buy it now, but I really had the hots for a Ruger LCRX in .327 with a 3" barrel at one time.

I would probably buy a 4" S&W stainless J frame in .327 Fed.

I had a 6", then a 4" S&W 617, but they were both too dang heavy. After several side by side 40 shot groups (lowest common denominator) between my 3" S&W 63 (8 shot cylinder) and my 4" S&W 617 (10 shot cylinder), I decided that I shot both of them equally poorly, therefore I kept the lighter, handier model 63. BUT, there are a boatload of people that desperately want S&W to bring out a non-underlugged 617.

I wish Smith would reintroduce the 422 and 622.

Good call! But, make mine the nickel 2214.

I'm surprised that in all the years Ruger has offered the GP100 they've never offered this as a standard model - a basic carrying/service revolver configuration. They've done it for some fixed sight versions in .357 and .38 Spl and of course the Match Champion .357 but then they put those funky flats on their barrels. I have one of the 6" half lug stainless models with adjustable sights and it is definitely a favorite.

S&W should also have offered a half lug L-frame .357 in 4" and 6" barrels. Back in the 80's full underlugs were a thing and I can see the added weight on a .44 but a .357 just doesn't really need it. It can help but just isn't needed and adds unnecessary weight. Especially doesn't seem to make that much sense in a 4" revolver, I mean how much is a couple fewer ounces 2" closer to the fulcrum of recoil movement really going to help? What would be nice is to have both options.

Ruger did really good with those 5" half lug Lipsey's specials. Those blued revolvers with walnut grips are a classic style and look great. The .357 and especially .44 Spl versions sold out pretty quickly and started commanding inflated prices on the used market even before this Covid stuff.

They did--the 520 & 620---they didn't sell. Maybe you could find one used.

Thanks - that's a new one on me.
