S&W PPC Rig - Need advice on kit I was offered.

[Riflman]

Hi guys.

I have someone who would like to sell a complete package to me, but I'm not sure what the gun is, how good it is, and if I need all the gear. Here is the list:

• S&W model 19, 357/38 cal, Packmayr grips, trigger job with double action trigger staging device, Bill Davis custom model sighting system with adjusting tool;
• Pistol storage box;
• 12 Dade speed loaders;
• Shoemaker open front holster and belt, 3 H-K-S speed loader pouches, 6 cartridge loops and ear defenders hook;
• Trophy equipment/ammo box with speed loader recharging system

I have been advised to use Comp III speed loaders and the holster and belt are leather with old style leather speed loader holsters with leather straps and snaps on them. I think I would rather by just a gun and get my own gear. What kind of money do you guys think I should pay for such a rig??

Somewhere between 500$ to 1000$ depending the gun condition for the hole package. For the equipement it's not more than 200$. so 450$ for the gun and 150$ for the equipment.

So $1200 is a little rich!

Thought I bought a 686 off this group yesterday but the guy backed out and sold it local. He apparently got offered more money so he bailed. Now I'm back to square one. Think I'll stick to IPSC for now. It's getting a little complicated.

Sorry but I said 600$ for the hole kit.

 

[Riflman]

No. The guy wants $1200 for the whole kit.....

Old

That stuff is old 70's - 80's era kit. It may be in good shape since light loads are the norm but IMHO, too much $$$.... per last post, $600 would be more reasonable but it is all subjective ie. my car is worth tons cuz I did this and that to it... blah blah blah.

For that money, you are better off with a stock 686/586 and get trigger job and front patridge site and some newer rig ie safariland w/ Comp III's.

For the kind of money you`re talking you should be able to find a custom PPC revolver, heavy barrel, witchita rib, 4 position rear sight, action job etc. These pieces are out there you just have to find them. Try the wanted column on the CPCA site.

Good luck

I bought a 686 medium frame distinguished gun yesterday afternoon that I can use for PPC for now. I also bought a gunfighter style belt, a new leather holster, two speed loader holders and 3 comp III speed loaders. The guy threw in 200 rounds of 38 special handloads, about 400 brass in caseguard cases, a case and a lock.

I had it out shooting by 6:30PM and burned through 150 rounds pretty quick.
