Y’all know the drill. I’ll keep my entry simple; in 2021, I’d like:
Glock 42X—or whatever the 48 equivalent of a G42 would be called. Honestly though, a G42X would be a 10+1 hosing machine.
That damn 6-shot, scaled-up “smedium frame” LCR with the 3” tube that we keep bringing up around here.
A scaled-down Savage impulse action in .22LR and .22mag. I bet a straight pull, tack-driving .22LR would be a real hoot.
The return of the Ruger Red Label.
How about you?

My Taurus 856 to work, if I ever get to shoot it.
An LCR or SP101 bobbed hammer 6 shot .38.
A .380 or 9mm G42x or G43x version of the CZ P-07.
An excellent manual safety for Gen 5 Glocks.
Affordable ammo.
More diet soda and authentic Mexican food.

Springfield Armory to expand on their "1911" EMP line with a "hi-cap" option of at least 15 rounds with a dependable common 9mm doublestack mag to compete with Wilson and Staccato - focused on carry not competition.
Tikka to offer a factory "Bravo" version - Tikka T3X Varmint barreled action, 26 inch heavy barrel, threaded 5/8x24, in KRG Bravo stock-chassis in 6.5 Creedmoor, 6mm Creedmoor, 6mm GT, 6mm ARC, 224 Valkyrie (1-6.5), 223 Wylde (1-7) and, yes, 308 for the old folks.
An RMRCC on my Hipower
A CZ 550 FS in 6.5 Swede with some fancy irons
A Ruger Single 7 .327 mag 4.62"
A Beretta 1301 tac with fancy glass
An old Colt SP1

The Ruger Red Label was Ruger's over and under shotgun that was made for many years in several gauges. A 28ga with the straight stock is on my list to acquire; they're wonderfully balanced little shotguns. Ruger also made a side-by-side called the Gold Label which was well made but not as popular as the Red Label. I haven't seen one locally in years.
As for what I would like to see in 2021? I would like to see an emphasis on quality control by the major manufacturers, as well as adding optics capability to existing pistols where possible.

Walther Q5 Match Pro SF, which I just bought with part of my Christmas bonus.
A medium frame wheel gun.
Several years back I messed up and missed an opportunity to buy a Beretta Lever gun with a straight stock in .357/.38. It was a really nice gun but I was saving up for a SCAR 16 at the time. So Beretta needs to bring back some Lever Action Goodness.
S & W to bring back the model 65 Ladysmith 3" as a "classic" model
Totally with you on the Savage Impulse in .22lr @Totem Polar
Also, CZ deciding to try a straight pull rifle, maybe a stalking type with a schnabel fore-end
Mauser bringing the Model 18 WaldJagd to the US market
A .32NAA conversion barrel for the S & W Shield-EZ, because I can't seem to repress my inner hipster
