Hello All,
I already have a 586-8, made in 2013. I am leaning toward adding a 70s example of gunsmithing- a S&W Model 19-3 PPC made by Cheshire & Perez of Monrovia.
I need to take my 586 down there though, as my recollection of the 586 trigger is that it is almost as good as that on the model 19. [Oh, I also have a 1957 S&W K38 6" and a 1937 Colt OMM 6" in .38sp].
A few things about my uses: I like revolvers, but- I like all handguns. I shoot revolvers about once a year, due to my life schedule.
My eyes are such that I cannot see both the front sight AND the target sharply.
I don't compete, but I love quality and the potential for precision.
I am just trying to talk myself into the Model 19-3 PPC pistol, fully realizing that: a, I will not be able to compete in PPC [not LEO] and b, action shooting is growing in popularity.
Honestly, action shooting is a better fit for my eyes, even if I relish getting 8 rounds from my 1911 into a single large hole- or 50 rounds into a single hole half the size of my fist.
I don't know the rules for ANY competitive shooting types.
So, I guess my question is:
in NRA or CMP shooting events, is there an advantage of having at 586 [6" barrel] over this PPC in 6"? Like, more competitive events?
BTW, if there are more competitive events for under 6" barrels, I have either a Model 10-6 4" or a GP100 4.2".
[would having a Wondersight rear sight on the Model 10 prevent me from using it? If so, could I use a filler screw in the hole for competitions and be ok?]
