I have to agree with Hans, I don't believe much more can be done except offer different finishes.
Capacity and caliber with the different frame sizes are already maxed out from five to eight rounds.
Now what I would like to see, not to hijack the post since manufacturers brought back the High-Power.
I would like Smith&Wesson bring back the third generation semis to their classic line.

Hmmm a new and interesting revolver from Springfield. Tough sell as Hans mentioned.
How about something old, nostalgic and unique. Like maybe a British Bulldog replica. That might be fun to own and shoot in modern calibers. Probably not a huge seller but maybe enough to make worthwhile, or maybe not lol just an idea.

How about they build and ship what they have now instead of pursuing more?

And make a High Power that had issues, drop the 911 series and introduce the Prodigy which I kinda like, which still has issues…AND yet they make another 1911

And can bring up the AR platforms and or most every gun manufactured. Change the color, slide cuts/angles, .1" longer or shorter. Well we do have a 16.5" 50bmg pistol @ 16.5#s. oh ya you'll need a foregrip on that puppy! Is it going to be the next popculture gun in a movie?

While I do have it in 10mm and 40s&w, I wouldn't mind having it in 45acp. Though m&p line in 45acp has a gun on my
very short list and has no grip safety. Makes me very happy!

I guess I'll find out IF I like the manual safety or not? My 10 has 1 as I bought it out of curiosity (the manual safety aspect).

Focus on reliability with current lines. **cough, Prodigy, cough**

A big bore snubbie like the Jovino Effector. Of course it would be more likely a 9mm.

I notice your signatures in clude "randall raider". Curious?

It was one of the first stainless steel 1911's. The Raider was a Commander style. It's a long story, but it has a Colt Combat Commander slide and barrel now.

There is a HS near me with that name. That was the curious part.

You mean, like the 2.75” N-frame .44 mags and .45acp’s that S&W makes?

No, look up what a jovino effector is. It's not a factory gun, but a custom. It came with a round but. Calibers varied. 44mag, 41 mag, 45acp and 45 colt. Jim Cirillo liked them.

If memory serves were they not, maybe still are, stock Smith and Wesson revolvers he then took/takes and customized with action jobs and various enhancements? Heard he does nice work.No, look up what a jovino effector is. It's not a factory gun, but a custom. It came with a round but. Calibers varied. 44mag, 41 mag, 45acp and 45 colt.

Yes. Chopped the barrel and made a round butt. I don't even know if Jovino exists anymore. They were a gun shop in NYC that catered to the PD mostly. I went in there once, a long time ago. Those old smiths with action jobs were hard to beat. I had a model 15 with an action job and it was the smoothest pistol I've ever shot. If you couldn't keep shots in a 2-3" off hand at 25 yards, there was something wrong with you. It was amazing.
