Check out the attached file. Went to the gun show in Sioux City today and picked this up for $340 out the door. Dealer swore it cost over $1000 to build in the 1970's.
It's a Bill Davis Custom Model PPC gun. Who is Bill Davis? Has a 6" bull barrel 1 1/8" diameter, with an Aristocrat rib. Kinda kool 3 position adjustable front sight (7/25/50 yards). Smoothed and radiused trigger, with an overtravel screw. Very nice trigger job and Pachmayr grips.
Base gun is a Colt Trooper, with the coil spring mainspring. MK III ?!? .38 special or .357 mag, I don't really know. No markings anywhere. Both will chamber. How can I tell?
I'm going to take it to the range tomorrow, with .38 special target loads. Hope it shoots...
So... what did I buy? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks...
Joe
