PPC Revolvers
Thanks Dave. I really appreciate the info. By the time I started shooting PPC circa 1973, the rules had changed, it was an NRA competition. I still have my gun that I shot for several years while a deputy in FL as well as a couple of years at SS (not on their team though). When I decided to start shooting, I bought a Model 14. I immediately discovered this was a mistake as it needed the requisite Douglas barrel, Bomar rib, etc. I should have bought a trashed Model 10 but I was in a hurry. This revolver was built by Walt Sherman, who was the Florida Highway Patrol armorer, an accomplished PPC competitor himself as well as the boxing "coach" at the FHP academy. In reality, Walt didn't do much coaching. You had to survive a few rounds with him to get out of the academy.
I hope you enjoy the pics. Sorry to get off-topic.
