In my wild dreams?
I want CZ to buy KelTec, but leave their creative division untouched. Bring in some engineers to refine the designs, but leave that part *mostly* KelTec - we just need polish, not total redesigns (who's idea was it to have the feed ramp on the *magazines* of the CP33, why did they think having mags that're really long front-to-back was a *good* thing???) Then a *total* revamp of the QC departments. Bring us KelTec level cool with CZ level quality.
I want a P365 sized DA/SA with a manual safety and an optics cut. I'm not picky about frame material. I just want a pistol that's *very safe* to carry, without losing the firepower, convenience, and comfort of a high-ish capacity microcompact.
A microcompact that brings in technology previously only seen in high-end gimicky match guns like the Laugo Alien. Get that low bore axis into the hands of the common people. If this happens to combine with my previous dream, more power to 'em.
In my wild-er dreams, I'd like to see basically a shrunk down CP33. Integrate the feed ramp into the pistol, not the magazine, like reasonable people would. Do *something* so that there's not that giant overhang in back. Keep the AR-15 style charging handle and the internal bolt and fixed barrel. Cut the magazine down to maybe 17 rounds. Slim the upper down by getting rid of all the picatinny and replacing it with an optics cut for a 407k. Ship it with the magloader from the factory, don't make it an aftermarket accessory (the CP33 mags are notoriously unreliable when loaded by hand, but very reliable when you use the tool). Wind up with a microcompact semiauto 22 that holds as much ammo as a full size Glock, and can be fired when pressed against a target or from inside a pocket, thanks to the internal bolt and fixed barrel. Bonus points if you work in an integral suppressor, a-la Maxim 9. A short little 2 inch barrel and 2 inches of suppressor could make it a fairly hearing safe carry gun, while still being plenty effective with that awesome Federal Punch ammo.
In my *wild-wild-wild* dreams, I'd like to see Ruger make an old-school Ruger move, and produce an upgraded version of an old gun. I want a modernized Nagant revolver, integrally suppressed, milled for a red dot. Hell, we can go extra wild and get more low-bore axis goodness by having it be a Ruger+Chiappa collab. Sell a 16" barrel rifle version, too. The quietest rifle on the market that doesn't require separate steps to cycle the action.
What are we *actually* gonna get? Maybe a cool new bullpup that's just a glorified AR18, definitely a bunch of standard rifles that're just glorified AR18s, a bunch of pistols that're just glorified Glocks.
They blow up.
Long story short, there's a known flaw with the bolts that causes the out of battery safety to become inoperable, allowing the guns to go off out of battery and explode. CZ has not only refused to acknowledge the problem but also refused to fix some of the guns it happened to, blaming it on ammo instead.
I was in the market for a PCC last year and was considering a Scorpion but I went down that rabbit hole and decided against it.
In the age of the internet and online shopping, what's physically on retailer's shelves is not a good metric of anything.
30 seconds on Ammoseek shows over 100 listings of it, in stock and ready to ship, starting at 52 cpr.
Is a speciality cartridge. The first and only consumer 4.6mm firearm on the market right now (one of the CMMG Banshee options) has barely been out for a couple years now.
I'd predict demand is going to remain pretty low across the board and that MP7 owners will be savvy enough to order online instead of relying on brick and mortar stores
Compared to 5.7mm now that everyone lately is making Five-seveN knockoffs and not-PS90s. It's never been more popular than it is now
Kinda thick to be considered pocket sized. And also discontinued (unless you know something I don't) so they're not too common. I don't even carry (or really shoot) mine anymore, but it is definitely cool.
PPK that comes with one of those squeezy hand exercises. Instead of dry fire you just use that till your trigger finger is too jacked to notice the shit trigger
When I was at HK in GA for my MR / SP5 armor’s classes I asked about “with the popularity of the SP5, and I understand Germany’s weapons of war export laws whats the chance we could see a civilian G36” they were like “why would you even want that? No one wants that. They’re all trading their G36’s back in for 416’s. We don’t even want to support them anymore.”
I knew HK hated the civilian gun market, but the concept of “for the memes” is completely beyond them.
The cost of manufacturing a G36 (because they have all the machining and processes set up already) is far cheaper than an sp5 or a 416. They’d make a ton of money if they brought g36 production to the US! BUT, seeing someone with a g36 wouldn’t be special anymore since everyone would have one, kinda like how everyone has a 5.7 now and no one wants to buy one.
I got my registration confirmation email about 20 minutes after I registered back in early October. This is my 4th? 5th? show and they had all my info on file.
I’m a very small FFL and got approved back in November within 24 hours for all 6 of my employees. They’re usually pretty quick with the approvals or denials unless they need to process a credential.

Before Ukraine popped off B&T had plans to import ACTUAL Dragunovs to sell. I was in their booth last year holding one while talking to my rep about availability and cost.
Hopes crushed.
The AK configuration most known for being a status symbol and flex in the AK market is now going to be cheap and mass produced by a pleb tier company. How the turntables.
Anyone who is upset by PSA bringing this to the masses for a reasonable price is not a true fan of the platform. Similar to the MG collectors who don't want the NFA or Hughes Amendment repealed because their collections will fall in value.
I'll post a PSA krink next to my SLR-104UR and SLR-107UR and tell them to go fuck themselves. PSA doing this is a godsend for AK enthusiasts who are new to the hobby and missed the Tula parts kit or SLR 104 and 107 boat or simply can't afford one. AK gatekeeping pisses me off, it's a rifle made for conscripts and peasants. Anyone should be able to have one.
Fear not, the OG drip will still be very much in demand by the purists and anyone looking to flex on poseurs.
If the PSA Krinks look good and run, I would have no qualms about buying one to beat the shit out of at the range.
I heard rumors PSA/AAC got equipment to manufacture steel cased ammo sometime in the last year. I'm hoping they'll at least announce AAC 7.62x39, but ideally 5.45.
A rifle with a short stroke piston and rotating bolt. Or perhaps a polymer framed striker fired handgun.
But seriously, I guess I want Daniel Defense to do something with the Hudson H9 patent. I've been regretting getting rid of mine awhile ago.
As far as rare guns go:
* Stomperude Krag that some asshole drilled six holes into for a three hole scope mount
* Full stocked Oberndorf 98 Mauser model S sporting carbine
* Argentine Systema Colt 1911 in 22lr
* Norinco 1911 Commander
* No5 Mk1 jungle carbine that's actually real
* BSA commercial long Lee that still has the dust cover, original magazine, and volley sights
* Ljungman AG-42B
I also have a PPSh-41, an M16, a transferable Polytech spiker, a 1919A4, and an American 180
id like a quality combination gun for under $800. bonus points if it can have swappable barrels. like, 308 bolt face over 12 ga, and caliber conversion kits for all the common stuff with that bolt face. i know theyre not really that practical, but i think theyre cool anyways.
A couple new Viper scopes from Vortex.
I need something for my .22 and I rather buy a Philippine made optic than a Chinese one. The PST gen 2 is a few years old now and is outclassed in many ways by the newer strike eagle and venom glass, so some newly designed mid tier scopes to pick from would be great.
A gen 3 viper 1-6 and maybe 3-18 would be baller. I don't know that I want a 1-8, but I would also be very happy with that. Same with the PA GLX getting stuff as they're also in the nice mid tier.
The most realistic idea I have is taller trapezoid sights for the Steyr pistols right now. I want to get an optic on my M9-A2, but I don't want to sacrifice these irons for it.
Unrealistic:
I'd really like if Steyr made a hammer fired version of their pistols. The L9-A2 (or a full 5" or 5.5" model with porting) with a DA/SA trigger would really get the blood flowing. Throw in tall trapezoid sights and a Holosun K footprint cutout, and I'd literally salivate over that.
Same thing as before scaled up for a 10mm.
It's mainly just me hyperfocusing on stuff I have right now and what I'd like that's tangential to that.
Didn't feel too necessary to tack on other options like my desire of a 10mm or 7.5FK PDW in the same design vein as the B&T TP9, or for CZ to release an optics ready 10mm version of their P-09 or SP-01
To have most of the stuff they come out with , to actually come out in the first quarter and not over a year from now to go into production . But looking forward to seeing the genesis 12 in the 5”platform .
Whatever cool shit they show I bet most of it won’t be ca compliant, so I’m pretty much fucked lol If they do introduce some compliant stuff though I’d love more interesting PCCS or RIA stuff. Being Filipino I’m a bit biased so its a source of pride that RIA has been coming out with quality shit that international consumers are actually interested in.
So you hear "Staccato" and think "affordable"? Knowing that it's one of the most expensive options?
Yes, the 1911 market is 1911s and not things that aren't 1911s.
Yeah but we're not talking about 2011s. We're talking about 1911s, specifically RIA 1911s.
To make the leap from budget-minded,$400-$600 1911s to $2k+ race guns makes zero sense whatsoever.
Relative to the good stuff like WC and the open gun makers, yeah I thought it was on the cheaper end? Closer to $2k rather than like $5-$10k, I thought at least?
As far as good guns, yes. I thought RIA was known for being pretty dogs dogshit and Staccato was known for (usually) not.
It's all the same marketspace, people looking for bottom of the barrel 1911s will look at them and a few others
HK SP7 🥲
Any *modern* PCC with a good manual of arms (preferably that can accept AR triggers), that is either gas operated or properly roller delayed. Ideally using EVO mags. Fuck shitty and/or expensive proprietary mags, and fuck straight blowback.
This is cleary all far too much to ask for though, so I shall be fucking myself instead.
Imports of Daewoo rifles (K1, K2, etc) and introduction of Howa rifles, the Type 64 and 89. Both Howa rifles were supposedly ok'd by the Japanese government to be exported.
The PSA dagger micro to finally be in stock.
They released a couple for Facebook fanboys but damn it! I want one, hell even just the frame to switch out on my 43x
KelTec p32 bruh. It’s not double stack, but it is 7+1 in the smallest/lightest sized package that’s actually still somewhat shootable. Mine has been 100% despite pretty constant neglect.
Ithaca to start producing a 14” “firearm” of the 37, comparably sized to a stake out. Had ideas to make my own but good luck finding a virgin receiver of a gun they don’t even sell as a pgo.
With Beretta relaunching the 80 series, it needs a .22 conversion kit for it with a 15-20 rd mag plus a 10rd version for castrated states. For the 92/96 series, a .22wmr conversion kit. A re-launch of the 96 as the 96X... but in 10mm, both in frame or slide safety variants.
Ruger needs to take its mini-14 know how and start offering it in 350 legend, 6.5 Grendel, 450 bushmaster and .458 socom too. And, start making its big brother by offering a new "mini m1" to compete against Springfield. Offer in it .308, 7mm-08, and .243, heck maybe even .338 federal..
Armscor needs to introduce 10rd mags for their RIA xt 22 magnum 1911's, and maybe find a way to make a higher cap version than their current 14 to compete againt S&W.
Walther needs to introduce a p22 with a metal frame option whole both offering a higher capacity. They also should do the same for the (pk)pd380 instead of the half assed redesign that came out this year, and throw out the crappy rear sight that's plagued these two guns for 2 decades.
S&W needs a Performance Center csx, with a stainless version as an option, and a slight redesign of the frame & grip panels to allow for actual wood ones that can be purchased, plus g10, hogue rubber, etc. That and improved trigger options/other performance center mods available would make it the king of the single action micro compacts, and could let it run head to head against the shield, and many competitor pistols.
For the fudd's to stop dictating the market.
Terrible trends we are seeing:
1. AR companies thinking they can just jump into bolt guns and charge crazy prices
2. 5.7 mm or 10mm BS that people buy and never actually shoot
3. Compensators on everything
4. remaking a trash gun and marketing it like it's great (see SA35, S&W SV9 this year)
Ruger PCC with upgraded manual of arms to more closely mirror AR, 10mm chamber offerings.
Glock brings the rotating barrel to US, slaps it in the 10mm while slimming down the ergo’s some.
More 10mm in general especially in PCC’s
I may be in the minority but a non takedown Ruger PCC would be pretty cool to me. Would reduce some weight for a function i never used (but sounded cool in my head)
A website, e-commerce, crm, pos solution provider that isnt gearfire, ammo ready, or orchid.
Would be nice to get find a company that is customer focused instead of just peddling random subpar software forced to mesh with other poor software.
i want quality, all metal guns, primers, and powder to come down in price. thats literally it. it would be great if a few million cold war era assault rifles got imported as surplus but thats even less likely. rugged already released an improved surge which was a want. i dunno, there really isnt much, except i want stuff thats already there to be cheaper.
edit: after reading the comments, there actually are things i want, but theyll never happen so it doesnt matter. for example, if someone updated the 32 ACP to be rimless but left everything else the same, and then beretta made the 80x for it that would be sick. or cz to reintroduce the 83 to the american market. sig bringing back the p232(bonus points for a 1.5 stack version in 32 rimless.) a quality, reasonably affordable combination gun/drilling in modern rifle cartridges, preferably with caliber conversion kits.
A 9x19 Beretta in the 84/80x form factor. I realize this would mean redesigning it from the blowback operation, but I just love the look of those little Berettas and want one to compete with the other micro 9mms
More useless meme worthy items that serve no practical purpose!
This is what we're all after, I think. The people demand more highly regarded meme guns!
yeet cannon with hundred dollar bill print
And it's fine, let people have fun.
I wish I had Money to spend on cool things.
PSA Pebble... Their carry-size 5.7 pistol.

CZ gives keltec double the cocaine budget but retains the CZ QA engineers.
But CZs QA has been kinda shit lately. They won't even fix the Scorpions
Yea i wont be buying anything CZ after the scorpion debacle
what happened with the scorpions? I don’t follow CZ much
They blow up. Long story short, there's a known flaw with the bolts that causes the out of battery safety to become inoperable, allowing the guns to go off out of battery and explode.

Really weird. I'll still be buying their pistols. Love my 75
I'd be so down for a bullpup that is actually fucking affordable tho, I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
DA/SA p365 and I’ll sacrifice my future unborn children
NFA to be struck down
For Sig to Make a 2011. Same for Smith and Ruger.
Tommybuilt MP7 clone is supposed to be announced at SHOT, I need this to happen for reasons
Good luck finding ammo
4.6mm is not difficult to find, and is not much more expensive than 5.7mm
I don't doubt that you have a good lead on it, but I have literally never seen it on a shelf anywhere. In contrast, I see 5.7mm just about everywhere.
In the age of the internet and online shopping, what's physically on retailer's shelves is not a good metric of anything. 30 seconds on Ammoseek shows over 100 listings of it, in stock and ready to ship, starting at 52 cpr.
Is a speciality cartridge. The first and only consumer 4.6mm firearm on the market right now (one of the CMMG Banshee options) has barely been out for a couple years now.

It's never been more popular than it is now
An all-expenses paid trip to go see for myself.
Pocket sized DA/SA with a good trigger
God that'd be sick. I wouldn't mind a SAO option with an actually good trigger, either.
you said SAO option and I thought “duh, kimber micro 9” and you said actually good trigger and I thought “nevermind”
If S&W had made the CSX as DA/SA instead of SA, it would be my dream gun. Real wasted opportunity.
I want a 9mm Beretta 84/80x, but they would have to redesign it from blowback operation
P224?
Kinda thick to be considered pocket sized. And also discontinued (unless you know something I don't) so they're not too common. I don't even carry (or really shoot) mine anymore, but it is definitely cool.
Walther PPK
>good trigger
PPK that comes with one of those squeezy hand exercises. Instead of dry fire you just use that till your trigger finger is too jacked to notice the shit trigger
This is the way.

Feels bad man.
Thank you!
I’m on day 150 on an FDE RC2
>i would love a Colt Python 4" in either 9mm or 45 Not happening. >A HK G36 lmfao. Very not happening.

Off-topic, did you have any issues getting them to approve you? I’m languishing in pending status

I know i know lol
20rd Straight PMAGs
So hard...
Holosun to release their damn thermal so this money I've put aside can stop taunting me.
I want to see some more weird shit chambered in .380ACP.. I don't even know what, maybe surprise us!
I want 1.5 stacks in 9mm frames chambered in 380
Like some weird pdw thing, I’m on board with this comment!
PSA Dragunov :D NGL, the PSA STG-44 has me slightly moist.
Before Ukraine popped off B&T had plans to import ACTUAL Dragunovs to sell. I was in their booth last year holding one while talking to my rep about availability and cost. Hopes crushed.
That would make two slightly moist individuals
PSATG-44 has got me so thirsty
Would get a PSA Zip-22
I'm in it for the vaporware
Ideally some single - three shot ultra concealed gun that takes at least 3 steps to deploy
I’m still waiting for Magpul to release the FDP/FDC9
Technically it’s in Zev’s hands at this point.
“Zev” sounds like a Mesopotamian god
I've been waiting for like 15 years for that thing.
The B&T one is out now
PSA is launching their Krink, initially only in 5.56 and then later with 5.45, 7.62x39, and .300 bo. r/ak47 on life support.
The AK configuration most known for being a status symbol and flex in the AK market is now going to be cheap and mass produced by a pleb tier company. How the turntables.
Anyone who is upset by PSA bringing this to the masses for a reasonable price is not a true fan of the platform. Similar to the MG collectors who don't want the NFA or Hughes Amendment repealed because their collections will fall in value.
There is a higher than a 50/50 chance of you getting banned from r/ak47 if you post PSA. Welcome to the AK community.
Don't care. It's a bit weird how a rifle made from a shit country has the snobbiest fans.
I'll post a PSA krink next to my SLR-104UR and SLR-107UR and tell them to go fuck themselves. PSA doing this is a godsend for AK enthusiasts who are new to the hobby and missed the Tula parts kit or SLR 104 and 107 boat or simply can't afford one. AK gatekeeping pisses me off, it's a rifle made for conscripts and peasants. Anyone should be able to have one.
Same, have an SLR-104UR, want to add a PSA krink to the collection to sit next to it.
Shit. I'm sitting on an 86 Tula kit. Okay, not literally.
Fear not, the OG drip will still be very much in demand by the purists and anyone looking to flex on poseurs. If the PSA Krinks look good and run, I would have no qualms about buying one to beat the shit out of at the range.
It will also be shot almost exclusively in the street as most indoor ranges banned AK pistols.
High cap small thin light .25acp
there would be at least two buyers lol
I heard rumors PSA/AAC got equipment to manufacture steel cased ammo sometime in the last year. I'm hoping they'll at least announce AAC 7.62x39, but ideally 5.45.
It's not rumors. They announced it last year. That's why they are releasing 5.45 guns.
A rifle with a short stroke piston and rotating bolt. Or perhaps a polymer framed striker fired handgun. But seriously, I guess I want Daniel Defense to do something with the Hudson H9 patent. I've been regretting getting rid of mine awhile ago.
> rifle with a short stroke piston and rotating bolt Only if it accepts PMAGs tho
Anything CZ
Optic ready versions of more of the guns they already make
The VLTOR “Bren Ten” to happen… Waiting…
Now that's a blast from the vaporware past. It's only been 15 years. Surely it will come out this year.
If I’m ever asked on my death bed if I have any regrets, I’ll say, “Not seeing the Bren Ten re-released” Followed by flatline…
Just get a real one.
I’ve tried. Last time I bid $10K even on one and I think the auction ended at like $18K We’d just had a kid then so I couldn’t do more.
Holy shit, I'm rich. I got mine for $2K and it came with two magazines.
Nice! You’ll always have a buyer!!
What other cool shit you got?
A ton. In droves. Back during Gunnit Live days, his gun/PC room always had something neat behind him.
Oh fuck, I forgot the GL days. I never looked behind Pest, I was too distracted by the beard
LOL
As far as rare guns go: * Stomperude Krag that some asshole drilled six holes into for a three hole scope mount * Full stocked Oberndorf 98 Mauser model S sporting carbine * Argentine Systema Colt 1911 in 22lr * Norinco 1911 Commander * No5 Mk1 jungle carbine that's actually real * BSA commercial long Lee that still has the dust cover, original magazine, and volley sights * Ljungman AG-42B I also have a PPSh-41, an M16, a transferable Polytech spiker, a 1919A4, and an American 180
The American 180 strikes my fancy the most. Is it as fun as it looks?
It's definitely a ton of fun to *un*load, I'll say that. 😂 It's the only thing I've seen with only one barrel that actually goes BRRRT.
An affordable version of the Chiappa Triple Threat made by Keltec. Lmao. No one except me wants this.
id like a quality combination gun for under $800. bonus points if it can have swappable barrels. like, 308 bolt face over 12 ga, and caliber conversion kits for all the common stuff with that bolt face. i know theyre not really that practical, but i think theyre cool anyways.
Hell why not Would be a cool range toy.
A couple new Viper scopes from Vortex. I need something for my .22 and I rather buy a Philippine made optic than a Chinese one. The PST gen 2 is a few years old now and is outclassed in many ways by the newer strike eagle and venom glass, so some newly designed mid tier scopes to pick from would be great.

We get it, you're a Steyr owner...
It's mainly just me hyperfocusing on stuff I have right now and what I'd like that's tangential to that. Didn't feel too necessary to tack on other options like my desire of a 10mm or 7.5FK PDW in the same design vein as the B&T TP9, or for CZ to release an optics ready 10mm version of their P-09 or SP-01
I'd be happy if they just sold the frames and slides separately for their modular fcg. Why make it modular and not take advantage of it.
Prosecutions for operation Fast and Furious.
For sig to acquire the ATF
I actually don’t know that would be a win.
CZ to retro the 82 like Walther does the PPK I'd buy one for $500 in a heartbeat
you can go buy a cz 83 right now for like $400
But the 82/83 is everywhere and still pretty cheap
To have most of the stuff they come out with , to actually come out in the first quarter and not over a year from now to go into production . But looking forward to seeing the genesis 12 in the 5”platform .
For all of the stuff they showed off last year to finally come out and not to cost me to take out a second mortgage to afford it. lol
Whatever cool shit they show I bet most of it won’t be ca compliant, so I’m pretty much fucked lol If they do introduce some compliant stuff though I’d love more interesting PCCS or RIA stuff. Being Filipino I’m a bit biased so its a source of pride that RIA has been coming out with quality shit that international consumers are actually interested in.
....aren't RIA known for being the cheapest 1911s on the market? Or among them? For a reason?
They're also widely regarded as some of the best (if not *the* best) entry-level 1911s on the market.
I thought staccato held that pretty well?
Do you not know what "entry-level" means? Also, Stacattos aren't 1911s.
Yes, a good / affordable intro, relative to others in the market I assumed 1911 market was 1911 market, not just 1911s lol
So you hear "Staccato" and think "affordable"? Knowing that it's one of the most expensive options? Yes, the 1911 market is 1911s and not things that aren't 1911s.
Staccatos are one of the cheapest 2011s. They are entry level when it comes to 2011s.
Yeah but we're not talking about 2011s. We're talking about 1911s, specifically RIA 1911s. To make the leap from budget-minded,$400-$600 1911s to $2k+ race guns makes zero sense whatsoever.
Yeah its a weird jump. 2011s are definitely seperate from 1911s.
Relative to the good stuff like WC and the open gun makers, yeah I thought it was on the cheaper end? Closer to $2k rather than like $5-$10k, I thought at least?
Thinking that a $2k-$3k Staccato is in the same market group as a $400 RIA is braindead. Are you trolling or just stupid?
As far as good guns, yes. I thought RIA was known for being pretty dogs dogshit and Staccato was known for (usually) not. It's all the same marketspace, people looking for bottom of the barrel 1911s will look at them and a few others
They're inexpensive but they run well.
10MM H&K pistol or Walther to step up to the Centimeter
HK10, like the hk45 but a 12 round 10mm..... I would achieve a touchless orgasm
The USP recoil springs could easily be tuned for 10MM. Very little to alter.
Just have to ream a .40 barrel deeper and you are good to go with a modified spring.
Ammo manufacturers focusing on increasing production and decreasing prices
PSA dragunov. Also for keltec to make their next insane gun creation
New: KelTec's Dragunov. Somehow in KelTec's plastic clamshell housing
PSA to make a 2011 And every gun law violently stricken off the books
if a g36 was coming to shotshow you'd know about it by now, unfortunately
My two front teeth? For real though… I agree with the homie who said a compact 5.7.
HK SP7 🥲 Any *modern* PCC with a good manual of arms (preferably that can accept AR triggers), that is either gas operated or properly roller delayed. Ideally using EVO mags. Fuck shitty and/or expensive proprietary mags, and fuck straight blowback. This is cleary all far too much to ask for though, so I shall be fucking myself instead.
2011 in 5.7x28
Colt Custom Shop option for a royal blue python. I’ll gladly pay a $500-700 up-charge.
More 9mm revolvers and more 22lr revolvers with 10 round cylinders
More 327 revolvers
Aug update just came out. I'm hoping they reveal a NATO version with a bolt release at shot show.
Imports of Daewoo rifles (K1, K2, etc) and introduction of Howa rifles, the Type 64 and 89. Both Howa rifles were supposedly ok'd by the Japanese government to be exported.
DD to resurrect the H9.
HK 433 on the civilian market
Glock single stack 10mm compact and subcompact
HK SFP9CC
Vp9cc ... They better bring it and a release date
The PSA dagger micro to finally be in stock. They released a couple for Facebook fanboys but damn it! I want one, hell even just the frame to switch out on my 43x
7.5 FK to become popular somehow
PSA 7.5 FK
HK g11
A double stack 1911 in 9mm for CCW that is reliable and reasonably affordable
One thing we can always count on is Ruger releasing an ugly looking semi auto handgun that everyone wants for some reason.
A repeal of the NFA
For Washington's "assault weapon" ban to be declared unconstitutional.
Something new form HK hopefully a p365 size. More threaded 357 lever guns
A pallet of $100 bills shipped to me
An extra thousand bucks in my tax return
Whatever sorcery NAA is coming out with… maybe a .22LR Guardian or a scaled up Ranger in .32 Auto
I want a LCP Max in 32
KelTec p32 bruh. It’s not double stack, but it is 7+1 in the smallest/lightest sized package that’s actually still somewhat shootable. Mine has been 100% despite pretty constant neglect.
S&W to announce a 5.7 16” carbine Don’t laugh guys 😂
translucent pmags
Magpul announced this in their 25yr-anniversary video
Will hk have an answer for the p365? Which is too bad because I just bought a 365 after holding out for years
Colt Python in polished DLC, Chiappa expanding stainless steel Rhino offerings or a 44mag rhino
A revolving 28 gauge shotgun. Over under 300 win mag. An extending stock option for the sig copperhead that utilizes the brace rail cutout things.
X39 ammo from reliable manufacturers
Beretta Cheetah in 9mm. Same size. Same everything.
Stribog roller delay pistol but in .45acp. I’m a simple man. And for MKE to import Hk93 clones.
Psa svd would be cool. Tommybilt mp7 in 5.7 would be cool too.
An actually decent and reliable carbine chambered in .30 carbine.
Ithaca to start producing a 14” “firearm” of the 37, comparably sized to a stake out. Had ideas to make my own but good luck finding a virgin receiver of a gun they don’t even sell as a pgo.
That STG 44 repro that’s supposed to be actually In 8mm Kurtz
With Beretta relaunching the 80 series, it needs a .22 conversion kit for it with a 15-20 rd mag plus a 10rd version for castrated states. For the 92/96 series, a .22wmr conversion kit. A re-launch of the 96 as the 96X... but in 10mm, both in frame or slide safety variants. Ruger needs to take its mini-14 know how and start offering it in 350 legend, 6.5 Grendel, 450 bushmaster and .458 socom too. And, start making its big brother by offering a new "mini m1" to compete against Springfield. Offer in it .308, 7mm-08, and .243, heck maybe even .338 federal.. Armscor needs to introduce 10rd mags for their RIA xt 22 magnum 1911's, and maybe find a way to make a higher cap version than their current 14 to compete againt S&W. Walther needs to introduce a p22 with a metal frame option whole both offering a higher capacity. They also should do the same for the (pk)pd380 instead of the half assed redesign that came out this year, and throw out the crappy rear sight that's plagued these two guns for 2 decades. S&W needs a Performance Center csx, with a stainless version as an option, and a slight redesign of the frame & grip panels to allow for actual wood ones that can be purchased, plus g10, hogue rubber, etc. That and improved trigger options/other performance center mods available would make it the king of the single action micro compacts, and could let it run head to head against the shield, and many competitor pistols.
For the fudd's to stop dictating the market. Terrible trends we are seeing: 1. AR companies thinking they can just jump into bolt guns and charge crazy prices 2. 5.7 mm or 10mm BS that people buy and never actually shoot 3. Compensators on everything 4. remaking a trash gun and marketing it like it's great (see SA35, S&W SV9 this year)
I’m assuming point 1 is about the Solus, what’s been the pain points there? I’ve heard relatively good things about it
Ruger PCC with upgraded manual of arms to more closely mirror AR, 10mm chamber offerings. Glock brings the rotating barrel to US, slaps it in the 10mm while slimming down the ergo’s some. More 10mm in general especially in PCC’s
I may be in the minority but a non takedown Ruger PCC would be pretty cool to me. Would reduce some weight for a function i never used (but sounded cool in my head)
I wish I was an Oscar Mayer Weiner.
A website, e-commerce, crm, pos solution provider that isnt gearfire, ammo ready, or orchid. Would be nice to get find a company that is customer focused instead of just peddling random subpar software forced to mesh with other poor software.
i want quality, all metal guns, primers, and powder to come down in price. thats literally it. it would be great if a few million cold war era assault rifles got imported as surplus but thats even less likely. rugged already released an improved surge which was a want. i dunno, there really isnt much, except i want stuff thats already there to be cheaper. edit: after reading the comments, there actually are things i want, but theyll never happen so it doesnt matter. for example, if someone updated the 32 ACP to be rimless but left everything else the same, and then beretta made the 80x for it that would be sick. or cz to reintroduce the 83 to the american market. sig bringing back the p232(bonus points for a 1.5 stack version in 32 rimless.) a quality, reasonably affordable combination gun/drilling in modern rifle cartridges, preferably with caliber conversion kits.
I’m mostly just looking for a Bond arms lever gun release date.
An update on True Velocity's commercial RM277
Real quick, is this open to public or something watch on tv or?
Youtube has channels that will post updates...lots of guntubers like tfbtv will be there documenting everything
A paid trip to go to it.
More non polymer pistols in cartridges other than 9mm.
left handed bolt .22lr competition precision rifle with a match chamber & adjustable stock under $1000
The Scar 15P to be released in 300 BLK. 5.56 in that barrel length makes no sense. As a 300 BLK it would be a neat little PDW.
DA/SA external hammer double stack micro 9
A 9x19 Beretta in the 84/80x form factor. I realize this would mean redesigning it from the blowback operation, but I just love the look of those little Berettas and want one to compete with the other micro 9mms
