Now that's an idea I can get behind. Great little guns, though the design can't really handle 9mm Luger.

Colt seems to be solely interested in wringing as much cash as they can out of the M1911 design. It's just weird that with so many companies making M1911 clones, you'd think one of them, especially one of the smaller ones, would try to distinguish itself by bringing back the Pocket Hammerless.

Colt recognized the demand for a small CC pistol, but went with the new Colt Agent instead, which is just a Colt Officer with an aluminum alloy frame, so they managed to poop on the legacies of two of their historical pistols all at once. SIG even made their own version of the Colt Mustang in the P238. And yet it never occurred to anyone that some people might want a Pocket Hammerless? Throw in the old school allure of Dillinger and Patton, and it's a no-brainer.

The only problem I can foresee that any new Pocket Hammerless, by Colt or anyone else, would be pricey. There's a lot of competition when it comes to .32 and .380 CC pistols, and modern guns are just smaller, cheaper, and lighter. That's why I said RIA, they'd probably make a more affordable version.

And if a Kel Tec PF-9 can handle 9mm and still weight half as much, I don't see why a Pocket Hammerless couldn't.

I'm not against making a few modern tweaks. It has been over a hundred years, after all.

Yes, but the Kel-Tec is a locked breech design, whereas the Pocket Hammerless is straight blowback.

A HK MP5-PDW in a 10mm with 30rd mags and tact rails for a surefire scout and a sexy predator style green laser. oh, and a Trijicon ACOG 1.5x16 with a green circle of death retical.

That would kick like a mule.

Lets see if I can get one of the transferable trigger groups in 9mm, 5.56mm and 7.62 Nato. Then lets see if I can add 7.62 Soviet, .40 S&W and 10mm Auto to the list of calibers. I had thought about designing such a weapon several years back for a Role playing game but it would get tricky IRL as MP5/10 parts don't mix well with MP5/9 parts other than the trigger group.

How about an MP5 in 7.62 Tokarev?
