OK folks, what would it be? Double-stack, single-stack? Revolver? Caliber? DA? SA? DA/SA? Polymer? Stainless?

What are the gun manufacturers not giving us that we want?

Non of the above because my perfect design would be my ass. I would like to be able to shoot 500 magnums out my ass and with the right TexMex it's possible. Think about it a bad guy makes you lie down with your hands behind your head bang and a round comes flying out your ass and blows his head off. Say you want to waste someone in a crowd just shoot him with your ass and walk away. What cop will go around and check everyones ass. Non. You even have a built in silencer. Hold your cheeks together and fire. I think they call that a SBD. The ass gun is the only way to go.
There's one weapon I don't wanna see reload :smt082

Please don't share with us your idea for a grip... or trigger.

Seriously...
How much $ will you have in?
Are you photo-documenting the build?
When can we drool over the pics?

Enjoy.

the way i read the data a 1911 is not in the running
did I mis-read the data
I got
DA/SA / Semiauto / Polymer / Hi Cap / .45 / manual safety

not sure what SIG it is cause i am not a SIG follower but it definitely is the
new FNP45
 
#51 ·
it has been a while since i looked at this very good poll and there have been more votes -
leaders are now
DA/SA / Semiauto / Polymer / Hi Cap / .45 / decocker

now that the FNP-45 is shipping and have been seen in several stores - does anybody have any contacts that can indicate how quickly these are selling?
