Back in the early 60's I was really into PPC competition In San Diego County and Southern California. I moved from Escondido California to the San Juan Islands in Washington State in 1976 and I in spite of Being a Sheriff's Department State Certified Firearms Instructor for over 20 years no longer was involved in PPC. I don't even know if PPC Competition is still going on. Back in those days I would shoot my Colt Python that was built for me by Bill Davis who was really into providing PPC shooters with a fantastic revolver. I still have that Python and it performed for me perfectly in so many shoots. It was really something that in the PPC competition you had a string of 24 rounds fired from the 50 yard line and the top shooters would put every round into the 10 ring of the B27 Combat Target. It wasn't unusual for perfect scores to be shot and the contest had to be decided on the X Ring scoring ring which was a small area within the 10 ring. In all my years as a Instructor 35 yards would be the farthest distance shot and most Law Enforcement Agencies would only qualify at 25 yards maximum range. If there are any PPC shooters out there do drop me a line or two.
