    Is like to see manual action 22LR type rifles.... be tastefully made to shoot 9mm. Like a bolt action tube fed 9mm

    Or a 9mm PCC THAT DOESNT LOOK TACTICAL! Why does the industry not realize this... Wood stock and blued steel.

    Not a firearm , but a wish !
    All silencers / sound suppressors should NOT need any paperwork or have to pay the government to own.
    They should just be a item to buy for any gun you choose .
    Just like a scope , muzzle break etc.

    Yep like a Marlin Camp 9 or M1 Carbine that uses Glock mags. I would be interested in that one.

    A 9mm M1 Carbine clone that is NOT straight blowback is on my want list. Chiappa makes a blowback one, but the action is clunky and per the reviews reliability is terrible. Other companies have tried their hands at it in the past as well, all blowback, and all had issues. I'd like to see something with a short stroke piston that leverages something close to the original carbine design...this would allow for a lighter, smoother operating bolt and flatter recoil, not to mention better reliability. The challenge is producing enough gas from a 9mm to operate such a system. Sig seems to have figured it out, so it clearly can be done. Even a radialy-delayed system like the CMMG Banshee would be better than the straight blowback stuff.

    I don't even care of it uses proprietary mags provides it cycles smoothly and runs reliably.

    My other wish list item is a 5-shot 2 3/4" barreled S&W L-Frame like the current model 69, but scandium-framed instead of steel...and if we're really getting whatever we want, chamber it in .45 Colt instead of .44 Mag. There have been some 6-shot J-Frame variants similar to this in the past, but they're no longer made and extremely expensive...and I prefer the thinner profile of the L-Frame for carry.

    Okay, it's 9mm Largo, but still... :) It would be cool if Ruger would bring back the Marlin Camp 9 and Camp 45 though.

    Modern optics-capable semi-auto (AR10 platform?) in 7.5 Swiss. Don't have the scratch for an STG 57.

    My Dad had a .45 camp carbine that I shot as a kid. Literally my favorite memories of shooting with him. It was the first gun I ever used to outshoot my old man, surprised the hell out of us both!

    This should be how it is. The fact that the hearing protection act made it nowhere was crushing. I was naive and had high hopes.

    Me I am waiting for Henry to make a 20 gauge lever action.
    Stoner 63A with full kit or factory HK G3Cs or ZM LR-300 or... haha it never ends. But I do think the Stoner for the historical importance. Or the Surefire MGX.

    I want every gun to have a removable high-capacity magazine, pistol grip, folding stock, flash suppressor, and bayonet lug.

    Are there any features I missed?
