Just bought a Model 10-7 Bill Davis PPC Custom.

Not sure where you want your 686 to go or why it should cost that much. I had two of them I used in PPC distinguished. Eventually, they replaced my Davis revolver and the scores did not change. All it took was a grip change.

Oh, I what I "want" and what is realistic are two different things is all. I want to add a new barrel...cylinder.. under-lug and sight rib to my 686, unfort. the cost of sending it to a smith for that is just far too unreasonable.

Here's my Powers Custom. Built back in 1979 on a 13-1 frame (however, only shot with .38 special wad-cutters). Ron use to work in his basement when he lived in Independence, MO.

I paid $380 for the entire package, 6" Douglas bbl., Bomar sites and it included a very nice set of smooth Hague wood grips. De-horned hammer for DAO with a smooth as a hot knife in butter pull. The grips I determined were too nice to be getting on the ground (concrete) for prone shooting at the 50 yard line, so I tried many different types till I settled on these Pachmayr grips. Each charge hole is numbered, chamfered and internal guts were Ron's design. All screws were replaced by Allen head screws (made for a cleaner look I thought).

Haven't shoot it in a while (about 20 years!), but it's mine and will go with me to the grave!

I was fortunate enough to become the guardian of Fred Schmidt's Demo PPC gun after his passing. It had one of his patented short cylinder conversions done, bull barrel with underlug, Aristocrat rib with 3 position front sight, cranelock balls (locked open and closed) and every other advantage that could be built in legally. I enjoyed it for several years shooting in a casual PPC "league" at the indoor range in Roanoke, VA. Eventually my interests changed and the "Schmidt Gun" went to a collector and I settled back to shooting my Model 66 with a 6" barrel, but I still miss that heavy barreled monster all these years later. On a related subject, I used to have another gun Fred built, a Model 10 HB with a "Coverup Rib." That was actually the most practical PPC gun that could still be carried. I really wish I had kept that one!

I bought a Mint M65 Davis modified similar to your 10 from a helpful member last month. It is very smooth. I also have a pair of smoothed 6" L Frames, M10 Bull, and M14 factory barrel with Bomar rib. They are all very nice. Main difference is weight balance.

This is my Clark Custom PPC Model 10-8. In the photo it shows the Aristocrat rib with the sight adjustment on the rear, but I did not like it, so I bought a Bill Davis Aristocrat rib with the three position adjustable front sight, and installed it on the gun.

Can I know the full specs of the gun? It looks awesome and fits everything I want in a revolver.

May I know what the original gun is to the custom parts in detail?
