14-6
I have looked at all the sites selling
Guns and I can't find a 14-6 for
Sale. Anyone know why this
Model is hard to find.

The 14-5 and 14-6 are sought after by bullseye pistol shooters trying to earn the Distinguished Revolver badge. Those two models have the full lug under the barrel which adds weight and reduces recoil, which is advantageous during timed and rapid fire.
A forum member had a 14-5 for sale recently, but it was modified from it's standard configuration. The revolver must be stock with only smoothing of the sear to be allowed in Distinguished Revolver matches. I am also searching for a 14-5 or 14-6 to shoot the Distinguished Revolver matches.

I have a 17-6, the .22lr with a 6" full lug barrel. It's the only one I've ever actually seen in person. I'm guessing not many were made and the people who own them are holding onto them.
Would a 6" 686 be a suitable alternative for your Distinguished Revolver matches?

I use a Model 14-6 as my Service Match Gun here in Australia. Service Match is very similar to your PPC.

Most shooters want the least jump from the cylinder to the throat, and a .357 is going to have 1/8 inch longer jump. However, many shooters that own only a .357 have been using them at DR matches.

Maybe open up your search for a 14-7 also? Mine is a great shooter and has the full lug too. Recently put some Culina grips on mine to spruce it up a notch.

Oddly enough, as the owner of both models (14-3, and 14-6) I prefer the half-lug 14-3.
However, I don't prefer it enough to get shed of the -6.....

here is the 14-5 that was for sale. I pulled it from sale as market seemed to be leaning toward defensive pieces and was getting low ball requests. I will likely re-market it closer to Thanksgiving/Christmas.
It was set up for PPC Distinguished with 50 yard B27 Neck Hold sights.
The gunsmith chamfered the charge holes.... which is a no-no is bullseye. I still have original sight blades.

Is the 14-7 a round butt only, or is that an option?

The 14-7 was round butt only. The change from square to round occurred in 1995-96 during 14-6 production. The 14-7 came out in 1997.

How about using .357 Mag brass for your target loads? Eliminates the jump and you no longer need a revolver that has been difficult to procure.
Of course, it's always good to have a reason to buy another gun...
