    Not exactly old-west, but I'd love to see a S+W 38 airweight, maybe using 8g carts.
    Good deals with these members

    There is already an airsoft version, would that simplify producing a CO2 version?

    Webley RIC, as, apparently, used by Custer at the battle of Little Big Horn.

    Remington 1890.

    Colt "Thunderer", DA model of 1878. Though it's a rubbish gun.

    And, not old west, but a replica S&W hand ejector/triple lock/M1917 would be cool.

    Not a revolver but a DECENT Mauser C96 pistol, perhaps with the 8g gas capsule, rather than the horrible Schnellfeuer one with the long magazine, which just ruins the lines of the pistol. There were a few in the wild west according to Hollywood.

    And a Manurhin MR 93.

    Some interesting suggestions the LeMat would be doable,too as there were cartridge conversions done of it back in the day.

    I think,though by the time the early semi autos started to appear the west was far less wild!

    If I can get one of these made to the same standards with the same quality of materials as my black powder one, I would pay handsomely for it!

    I see your C96, and raise you Borchardt C93. Problem is, almost no-one will know what I am talking about.

    Ah, the precursor of the Luger Fugly but a benchmark in handgun history. I claim my geek points

    Yes the mother of fugly, hit every branch on the fugly tree and then got hit by a truck. Vertical grip and bollock-sack spring housing. It could have a kind of steam-punk Dr Who charm, like the Mars pistol. But it doesn't.

    Although not as bad as the French Chauchat automatic rifle. That is horrendous!
