I've always drooled over a Thompson But if I could design my own pistol it would meet these requirements:

While I'm a 1911 fan and I do have a couple XD's If I were to design my dream pistol this is what I want:

1. Black Stainless steel frame. I prefer the metal frames, I don't really trust polly guns in -40 F weather.
2. I would like a trough sight, with drilled holes if I decided to put on night sightes or adjustable sights set up for 15 yrds. getting older much farther out I'm not going to get a good shot out to 25 yrds.
3. An installed laser on the guide rod, like Lasermax.
4. Accessory rail. Being a bachelor I don't have to worry about drawing on a family member.
5. The take down lever like the XD has. This feature makes it easy to tear down, clean and slap back together really quick.
6. Either the striker system that Glock or Sprinfield has or the 1911 Single action. There are days the hammer is a pain and times it doesn't bug me.
7. Bigger trigger guard so I can get a winter glove in, with the finger grove on the front, like the XD.
8. Threaded barrells just because.
9. conversion between calibers is just a barrell and magazine switch. It may mean a bigger barrel for a 9MM in a .45. While this may be a pipe dream, it's my dream.
10. No extended beaver tail.
11. big enough slide so if you put magnants on your flashlight you can stick it to the slide in a hurry so you can go two handed without stumbling with any advanced flashlight tactics where you have to stand on your head to hit anything.
12. I prefer heavier pistols and I like the 5" models so no need to lighten up the pistol.
13. I want all the engraving, always wanted a pistol with it so, this is my dream pistol.
14. Ivory grips.
15. amberdexterous safety and amberdexterous over sized mag release
16. backstrap safty, I can take or leave the Glock trigger safety.

Well since the question is about a dream "gun" and not including any ammuntion to opperate such weapons I would have to go with this

I particularly like the fact that the magazine may be turned into what amounts to a claymore. Perfect for bug outs during armed combat.

Dream gun?

I'm not sure, most of the things I really lust after are still available.

I suppose if I had an opportunity to get a gun that was a once in a lifetime deal I would ask for something historical, maybe something related to a famous shootout or the like.

I have boring taste in firearms. I like the common stuff.
