After the crushing disappointment of BSA's dull-as-dishwater PCP release, let's talk about the hypothetical new pistol that we would have liked them to make instead
Is it a re-engineered Magnum 240 with an extra 3 inches on the barrel and a grip designed for actual human hands?
An overlever springer cunningly designed within the silhouette of a colt 1911?
Is it a PCP pistol, based on the Ultra action?
Or even a PCP based on the R10, with a mini buddy bottle up front and regulated action?
A CO2 powered British Bulldog replica?

A cunningly contrived, non blowback, single action PCP in a semi replica stylee would be nice. I've always loved the look of the Rohm Trainer but the double action and co2 make it a bit hokey.

Another confection out of powdercoated mazak diecastings, or something with real metal machined and blued components in it?

Nothing wrong with mazak - in its place.
If the frame and body are mazak it can cut costs dramatically, whilst allaying fears (well founded or not) that it could be used to fire some kind of live ammunition, and it doesn't really affecting performance negatively.
Things like indexing pawls, trigger bars, CO2 levers and other moving/load bearing parts should be made out of *proper* metals however.

Something similar to the HW45 in barrel over cylinder configuration.
But a longer overall length to accommodate a smaller diameter piston without loss of power.
The smaller chamber height would enable a lower profile frame, sitting lower in the hand and
therefore less prone to rotation. I'd like to see match quality open sights and a Picatinny rail for
accessories. The grip would be a semi-anatomical, rubberised wraparound design with inlaid BSA
medallions.
Rich traditional bluing with the model name and serial no. etc. highlighted in ice blue Arial.

Not really a "pistol person" as I don't have a use for them although I do have a nice Prem, a 240 Mag. and an Ackvoke that once belonged to my Father-in-Law.
But if I we're pushed, something along the lines of an Hy-Score would be OK !

As it's a 'completely hypothetical' situation, I wonder what they would produce if a 'revolver' was the remit?
It's on my hypothetical wishlist.
