Pistol/Cartridge combinations you'd like to see?

[AshleyC]

Basically, if you could have someone manufacture a pistol and cartridge, what would it be?

I would like to see a resurrection of the 7.62x25 Tokarev cartridge.

Ideally, in a resurrection of the Luger pistol. Back in the 90s there were new Lugers made in stainless by Stoeger...or was it Mitchell? So something like that, standard barrel length AND an artillery model with shoulder stock.

 

[Multum in parvo]

A Luger with modern sights would be a thing.

As a shouldered version also in 7.5 FK

 

[OkieStubble]

.357 Magnum. Not .357 ballistics with .357 Sig. And it needs to reliably cycle.

 

[Ad Astra]

Glock carbine in x25. OP is right, it's a neat round.

Bottleneck pistol rounds are a proven idea.

I'm good with what's already out there. I just need to get off my rear and buy a Ruger PC to pair with my Glock19.

 

[Acmemfg]

Sig Sauer DA/SA (like the P226 or P229) in .38 Super

 

[AshleyC]

I'll throw another one in. A Webley Mk. 6, but with modern metallurgy, heat treating, etc. in .44 Special, 44-40, .45 Schofield, or .45 Auto Rim.

Finishes would be military matte, high polish blue with case hardened hammer and trigger, and factory nickel.

Tell me you wouldn't want one! I figure it wouldn't take too much for Uberti to crank something like that out.

Blue steel S&W J frame 6 shot .327 mag with 4 in. barrel kit gun. I have essentially the same thing in my Ruger SP101 in SS, but a svelt blued S&W would be so much nicer!

I swore I just saw an 8 shot S&W in an advertisement the other day?

 

[nortac]

Mayhaps, but that would be a bigger framed gun than what I'd like.

Your late to the party, bub.

I had two Desert Eagles in the 1990s. One .44, the other .357. Neither was reliable, regardless of cartridge pressure tried. But having grown up with 80s movies (The Beretta 92 and Desert Eagle Decade), it was preordained I would own one. Both were meh on reliability.

IIRC, the LAR Grizzly pistol was offerred back then in various chamberings besides its signature .45 Magnum. One of them was .357. I think .44 and 10mm were also options.

I have a friend who owns a LAR Grizzly, man it is a hoot to shoot!

 

[nortac]

I aspired to own an LAR Grizzly once. I bought a 1000 primed .45 magnum cases that were on sale. That's as far as I got.

P220s are out there, I passed one up this year.

Also if anyone is looking for an LAR I know a guy who is looking to sell one.
