"Back in the day" we had lots of PPC shooting in the SW Ohio area (had several shooting Police Chiefs who encouraged their departments to compete) and civilians were welcome at a number of the events.

I am speaking of the late Sixties and early Seventies. Money was tight so I did a "do it yourself" PPC revolver. I started with a new Model 14 Masterpiece and added a Bomar Rib for better sighting and somewhat higher weight. The grips were custom made by a couple of local fellows "Rainey/Thompson".

The revolver, off the Ransom Rest would do 5/8" at 25 yards with Remington Target Wadcutters and only slightly larger with my cast dbl ended wadcutters. I did an action job and dry fired until my fingers had muscles that gave me great double action trigger control.

Competition was fierce and we got quite close with law enforcement in the area. It was all around a good time for shooters, hereabouts...
