Well, as you all know new guns don't really excite me much, but I was thinking about some guns that were almcould have been made I wish they had.

Colt 1911 in .41 ACP - JMB was designing a .41 caliber version of the 1902 Auto, but the round was too much for the design, and by the time they figured out the solution the US Army had decided they wanted a .45 so the whole project was abandoned. If they'd kept doing with it and came out with a .41 ACP loaded somewhere near .38 Super levels, that could have been a pretty neat gun.

Colt 1911 in 7.63mm Mauser - Preferably with a tangent sight and attachable stock - basically similar to a Star Model A Pistol Carbine without the extended barrel. Might have sold well in Europe and Asia.

Steyr 1912 in 7.63mm Mauser - Likely have to beef up the design a little, but it sure would be a cool gun. And the 1912 was a good design that might have sold better if it chambered a more common round.
