Build the perfect revolver

[Greg]

It is the odd caliber that makes it special. I am going almost crazy still looking for Ruger Buckeye Specials in 33 H&R mag/32-29 and 38-40/10 MM. I did find the 32 last week only to be told they had both of them NIB and sold them 3 days before I called. The 44/44-40 is almost impossible to find. Smith is already making the 32 Fef Mag in the custom shop so it would not be any big deal for Buds to get a dealer distributer model built to their specs. If you are wanting a 357 to shoot you can find them everywhere but if you are looking for a special one NIB to collect then where do you go to find it. Unless there is something special about it it really isnt worth collecting and if its worth collecting why would you want to shoot it? I have a NIB condition 32 H&R made by H&R just before the company went belly up. I paid a whopping $65 for it and my 2 yr old blue book now lists it at well over $200 in its present condition, but if I were to use it and have it show wear or useage then the price drops considerably to below what it retailed for in 1986. I did not pay retail, I got it on a close out because the dealer had 4 of them and couldn't sell them. Once I bought one the rest were gone in 24 hrs. I was going to get a second one for small game and coon hunting. Needless to say ordering more was out of the question because they were no longer made. The Rugers only got made for one year and a limited run. Most of the 32s were bought for hunter pistol sillioute shooters. The 38-40 offered the balistics of the 40 S&W and the 10mm gave you the full house load for big game hunting. The 44s were real limited and not buckeyes.
So I still say something in a 3-4 in 327 Fed Mag in blue with a checkerd J-frame round butt style grip in either a J or K frame with a 6 to 9 chamber cylinder and target sights would be special enough, mild on the recoil, collectable and as for finding ammo 32 S&W, 32 S&W Long, 32 H&R mag and 327 Fed mag will all work in it no probem. Now if they could only find a way to use moon clips so 32 auto could also be used then there would never be any shortage of ammo for it if you must fire it.

Being a Bud's exclusive revolver it needs to be something unique, something w/ a 4"bbl. in .41 mag , .45acp or even a 10mm would be cool with the rounded fancy wood combat (finger grooved) grips 250 in polished stainless and 250 in high gloss black, that way you could have one of each for a unique set.
Go ahead and put me in for a pair!!!

10mm would be a great solution for best ammo cost and high uniqueness. match trigger would be my only addition. special engraved sn/lot# would be a great!

First post and I'm jumping on a bandwagon. I'm in for the .327 Federal but my thoughts are a bit different. I'm in love with those sweet little 5" J frames (60&63) and think the .327 Federal would be absolutely perfect in that package. The perfect small game gun with six shots. I'd buy three of them instantly, one to shoot, one to save,and one for my son.

I'm thinking the S&W 627 may be it.

Personally I like the odd calibers but I doubt they would sell very well.

A 4-6 inch revolver in 357/38spl that is blued and has the Kentucky State Seal on the frame would be excellent. Burl Oak grips and if possible adjustable sights would be excellent. Maybe call it the Kentucky Magnum or something like that. If there was a way to get a laminate blue and oak grip that might be a good thing as well.
