Clark Custom Model 19-2

THis one I built for a hunting revolver. Interchangeable front sights on a 7.5 inch barrel turned from a Douglas barrel blank. Started life as a Mod 28 but some how ended up as a .44 mag.

Thats a really nice gun, I love the idea of a 38/357 gun and most of these PPC guns are .38 only...

This would be over the top for me knowing I could blast 357 out of it..

I think you might reconsider shooting mags out of a PPC gun. Most were built with a 1in10 twist for best accuracy with wadcutters. Those twist rates can sometimes cause havoc with higher pressure loads. I have seen more than a few PPC guns with split forcing cones due to shooting mag loads.

Or kick the rib off and throw it at your head.

Looking at the OP's Clark, I have not before seen a barrel with pedestals for the rib. I assume that was done to allow a slightly lighter barrel to suit the customer's preferences on weight and balance.

Clark Custom Guns is located in Princeton, Louisiana, not Pikeville. I have been a customer at Clark's for about 40 years starting when they were first located in a log cabin in Keithville, Louisiana. Skeeter Skelton and Bill Jordan would show up there frequently to talk with Jim, Sr. and the rest of the crew. The shop is 15 miles from my home. You have a great gun that was most likely worked on by Tommy Bison or Jim Clark, Jr.

The OP's PPC revolver is a shooter. The value is readily determined by visiting the Clark Custom Guns website. Today someone ordering a base PPC revolver built on a current Model 10 will pay more than $1400 out the door. The OP paid less than 40% for a revolver every bit as "shootable". Would a competitor pay say $1000?
All Clark guns are also collectable, some more than others. Jimmie Clark opened his first shop in Shreveport in 1950. Swagmeister and I have lived in Clark Custom Guns country for several decades. We know that any Clark gun made in Shreveport was personally built by James Clark Sr. The so-called Shreveport marked guns are easily identified and most sought by knowledgeable collectors. Local prices for basic Shreveport 1911 bullseye guns in good to very good condition were at least $1500 a few years ago when Gold Cups in the same condition were $1000 or so. Keithville marked guns are also collectable. But everything else being equal, a collector will choose a Shreveport gun over a Keithville one. I currently own two 45 caliber Shreveport 1911 bullseye guns and one Keithville Custom Combat 1911 in 38 Super. I shoot, I collect.
Princeton guns like the OP's PPC are generally perceived to be current production. Are any also collectable? Well, I'm always looking for another Clark gun. I notice there are two new 1911 bullseye guns in the Clark showroom in Princeton as I write. One is a 38 Super the other is a 9mm. Both are optics ready, both are beautifully finished, and both have been tested in a machine rest targeted at 50 yards. Clearly shooters as each target clearly shows that the first ten shots group within 1". Is either one worth $4000 to a collector?
