Thread: What is your Smith & Wesson dream gun that they never made?

There was a 5.45x39mm revolver called a YESAUL. I can't remember if it was Ukrainian or Romanian or something like that. Some gunsmith custom made a single action revolver in 7.62x39 also.

M-a-y-b-e....a 4 inch Bull-Barrel, round-butt, K-Frame...in .41 Mag...'Blue'...lowish Half-Moon Front Sight...plain old 'notch' rear sight...and I'd bob the Hammer myself...

didnt the ruskis build a revolver in 5,45? Can´t find it on google right now. But i strongly believe there was one. Have they solved the bottleneck-problem? a revolver in 7,62x25 or x39 would be awesome.

I've seen the custom jobs and they are nice. No reason they can't come from the factory.

I would like a bunch S&W mod 58 in 45 ACP or Colt. S&W mod 12 with a 3" intermediate barrel on a Scandium frame in 357 and/or 9mm

Quote: Well, the overall length of a loaded 7.62x39 cartridge is almost identical to the overall length of a .460 cartridge. I don't see why it wouldn't be doable, The problem is that revolvers don't work very well with bottleneck cases. After being fired, the case tries to back out of the chamber, and ties up the cylinder. If that could be solved, an X-Frame in 7.62x39 or .223 could be interesting.

3" 649 with unfluted cylinder. Someone's got a highly polished gunsmith's special of that gun floating around, with pictures cropping up occasionally.

I'd also like to have a .45colt mountain gun with a 5" tapered barrel, but they may have actually made this at some point.

now THAT'S a dream gun !
