Now that we are going into a new year, I thought about old guns; guns that are no longer made that I would like brought back so I could buy new ones. I know of four, and they aren't that old.
1. Walther PPK stainless in .22 LR. Interarms made them, but I guess S&W didn't care to continue that caliber.
2. Ruger SP-101 stainless in .22LR. Even better for me if they revived it with traditional two piece grip panels. I do not like the post grip frame on this or the GP-100.
3. Ruger Security-Six stainless .357. I had one, great gun. Or, make the admittedly better GP-100 without the above mentioned post grip frame, which I think ruins it.
4. S&W 639, a stainless 9mm. A nickel 39 was the only 9mm I ever owned, and the best one I've shot. I think that and the 659 (15 round version, 39 models held 8 ) are as good and often better than current nines. None of that cheapo polymer.

Saw one on gunbroker, LNIB shot 10 times to check function. $755.00 with 5 bids and 10 days to go.greener wrote:Had to look it up. Nice looking carbine.
If I had one I'd sell it to you at a reasonable price, though our definitions might be somewhat different.
You have great day and shoot straight and may the Good Lord smile on you.
