Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.
Seems to me that at this time of the year posts with wish list of new handguns we want are more frequent than usually. Considering experience and preference of others, my personal (moderate), my friends’ and shooting bodies’, Ruger manufacturing methods, handgun hunting laws, tradition, etc., here is my suggestion:
- NMBH (old “large frame”), stainless
- Calibers 357/9mm, 41, 44 and 45 LC/45ACP
- Fluted cylinder
- 6.5” barrel, round, no rib for scope, but with Hunter/Redhawk style replaceable front sight
- Grips; SBH with round trigger guard, Bisley
- Nice addition would be #5 base pin
Note; as far as I know, in many states hunting handgun has to have minimum 6” barrel, or longer, and 6.5’ is VERY traditional barrel length.
I think that these models would be very easy to produce, and potential market would be very large because these two basic models will cover very broad range of shooters and hunters.
I would like to suggest to our members who have connections with some of those large distributors known for placing special orders, to present them this idea.
Thanks, Onty.
