PPC Revolvers.
Police Pistol Competition revolvers. Bull barrel, Aristocrat rib, highly accurate. I want to avoid building one from scratch so where is the place where used ones are traded?
Thank you. |

I think there's a Model 15 PPC revolver
on Gunbroker right now, under search for Smith & Wesson Model 15 .38 special It's listed on page 2 of the site. Also do a general search for PPC revolvers on GB. Also one offered in N. Georgia Outdoors Trader but owner not willing to ship and asking price is three time the GB one. I think a lot of contestants just made due with either tuned up Pythons or tuned up Smith 586s.

My brother has a Ruger secuirty six with a 6" Colt Python barrel on it, vent rib.It was built by Bill Davis for PPC. Has a vent rib on it. Beautiful gun with an incredible blue luster finish.
They called these "Cougers".

You are over a month late. There must of been a PPC Team's worth of revolvers on Gun Broker in late February thru early March. I scored the nicest one of the group. I actually think it is new. Police trade-in from the ST. Tammany Parris, Louisiana either police or sheriff's department. There were I think 7of them sold from there. Mine was build on a S&W Model 10-7 coming out of the S&W Factory in 1983. The production gun was probably turned over to Ken Eversull, Master Gun Smith, for the conversion. it features a 6" slabbed sided, heavy contour custom barrel and Bill Davis custom sight rib manufactured by Aristocrat. The rib has a rear windage adjustment and front sliding elevation adjustment preset for 7, 25, & 50 yards. Revolver is special tuned for double-action shooting in the NRA PPC Course. The hammer has been bobbed and has an installed trigger stop. It weights approximately 3 lbs. 10 ozs.
I won it for $584.00. You can find pictures at this link: https://thefiringline.com/forums/sho...light=eversull |

Timing is everything. Congratulations on a great gun, well bought too. It couldn't be duplicated for four times the amount.

Wish I had bought one when they were available from Dan Wesson. 1:14 twist barrel, factory action job, Aristocrat sight rib, extra heavy shroud (EWK Arms sells something similar).

Also do a Google search on Bill Davis. I think his company sells firearms along with his custom components.

Look on Gunbroker and visit large gunshows, like Tulsa.
