Here is my 586.
If you can search this forum, there have been a couple of threads on these in the last week/month.
Thank you to both members above for posting your PPC pics.
If anyone has anymore please post them up.
Thank you "Bullet Bob" for the suggestion. Just needed to reword my searches and came across several threads. Would like to see more pics as it doesnt seem no two PPC setups are alike. Great to see all the custom mods and combinations.

I love this gun. How much does it weigh with the heavy barrel and sight rib?

Here is mine...
Mod. 15, Douglas 1:12, Nill grips, Aristocrat sight rib, home made thumb latch.
Espen,
That is an extremely cool looking gun! I haven't seen anything like it. Who was the gunsmith? I really like the polished band on the cylinder, does this help smooth the action?

Yes, That was my 586.Who deleted it ??.
HERE ARE 2 PPC REVOLVERS BUILT BY BOB JONES OF JACKSON MISSISSIPPI. I DISCOVERED THAT AFTER I TOOK THE PICS I HAD THE TEST TARGETS WITH THE WRONG GUNS. OOPS! SORRY!
EACH TEST TARGET WAS FIRED FROM THE RANSOM REST AT 50YDS, 24RDS EACH. THE TARGET THAT IS HORIZONTALLY STRUNG WAS FIRED IN A 15-25 MPH GUSTING WIND FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.
THE LEFT HAND GUN HAS 25K + RDS THRU IT. BOTH GUNS HOLD LESS THAN HALF X-RING AT 50YDS

I have a PPC gun made on a model 10 By Cheshire and Perez some years ago. I know that C&R have been out of business for quite some time, but it is a very nice, smooth gun with a slab sided barrel and Aristocrat Triset rib and underlug. It has a nicely engineered forward lock-up on the underlug. I don't shoot PPC as I am not a LEO, but I enjoy the gun a lot. It was very low priced and I added it to my home for lonely target pistols. Is PPC still only available to LEOS or does it depend on the club or which state you live in?

Here's my PPC set. Everything here was either built or tuned by A.T. Custom in Gardena, CA.

Allen is an excellent gunsmith! He has helped me out a couple of times.

Thank you. I could brag for hours about the gunsmith.
...but since it's mostly me, I'll pass.
If the polished band helps. Well, mostly inn my mind and it isn't really that polished. The rest of the cylinder is sandblasted with fine 400 grit sand or alu... something.
The under-lug, trigger, thumb latch and sides of the sight rib has been given the same treatment.
If you think my gun is extreme take a look at what's being made by the European gunsmiths these days. Here is one, Ralf Merkle at Merkle Tuning
There is more and more polygon barrels on the revolvers over here. That doesn't seem to be the case over on your side of the Atlantic ocean or?
I have a Mod. 66 that is going to get a Lothar Walther polygon barrel next week ...maybe.

I love custom guns like that! The more unusual the better. There are some gunsmiths here doing some things like that, but the 1911 platform is supreme on this side of the pond. I would like to see a much improved target sight for the S&W revolver to give it a big blade like my Morini Air Pistol with an adjustable width. Sadly Bo-Mar has gone out of business taking their sights and ribs with them. Aristocrat is a better rib for PPC guns and the owner is very good to deal with. I needed a small part for my rib and he just put it in the mail free of charge. I wish he would make a slim cover-up rib made of aluminum for the 6" S&W Revolver. What is the sight on the first gun from the link you sent? It looks good, and I've seen it before but I can't remember where. I have a S&W Model 15 that has a 6" Model 14 barrel, single action lock work and a Bo-Mar rib. It was designed for Bullseye and ISSF Centerfire. I need to get going and post some pictures.
Best,
Dwight

It is a LPA txt sight, and this is the US distributor acording to LPA's own home page.
That sight is quite popular over her, and the quality of LPA has gone up a bit the last few years. It fits straight on the "new" revolvers with drilled and tapped frame for a scope, but you only need to drill and tap one hole on any older gun.
There is also a "non-rib" tri-set sight arround. It is basically a Aristocrat Pistol sight with a new base for revolvers

KAC,
If you don't mind me asking, who built your gun?
