SiG Lady Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Just a couple of very rough images of the new gun. Will take the formal portraits later... 9mm Smith & Wesson PPC9 LEO issue, 15-rd mags, a delightful 43 ounces of solid steel, only slightly used. This thing came with nine (9) mags, Hogue rubber grips, a competition holster (which I'll be selling) and a neat aluminum, combination-lock carrying case with the Performance Center logo in metal-medallion on the side. And stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 That's saxxy!!! Should be MUCH cheaper to reload for than the .45, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Might be just as easy to buy factory ammo for now, as cheap as it is in some places...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Think about the poofter loads you could put together, though. Would be like shooting a .22. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 I dunno. But I've still got the stock magwells, too. "Think about the poofter loads you could put together, though. Would be like shooting a .22." LOL...!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiG Lady Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Though humorous in thought, the "poofters" might actually be disrespectful to the whole concept of this gun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Though humoruos in thought, the "poofters" might actually be disrespectful to the whole concept of this gun! Hey, the concept is accuracy, right? If poofters are accurate, shoot 'em! BTW, I don't think it's the basepads that are the problem, but the magwell (black metal thing extending below the grips). Then again, it ain't on the Production list, so no USPSA for you with it (unless you want to shoot Limited, L10 or Open Minor). Might be worth finding out what the base gun is or what model number (is the # PPC9?) to see if it is, in fact, on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Well, it seemed pretty accurate even with wally-world ammo. I'm going to putter with a couple of types of factory ammo along the way and see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Larry Cazes Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 How much do these cost? Looks like a very nice all steel 9mm. I Don't lnow much about them. Magazine disconnect safety? Hows the trigger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberkid Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Siggy, Those things are so very very cool. How is the trigger on yours? A fellow Bianchi shooter I know has one and the thing straight up shoots, no other way to say it. I had the chance to shoot it and it made a number of 2" 50 yd. groups in my hands, which is quite an accomplishment. The trigger on the one I shot was simply outstanding. Even with relativly sharp recoiling White Box, it feels like a .22. We also stood out to 75 yds and consistently rocked Bianchi plates with them. Enjoy it, and if you ever need to sell it, drop me a line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehli Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Just thought of this: that's a DAMN fine replacement for the Valtro you were going to get (were it not for the lack of one existing)... prolly even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Exactly what Kimberkid and 300lb both said. The trigger is fabulous: light, positive, sensitive and reliable. The whole gun is that way. Slide is smooth as glass, weight of the gun in perfect balance and enough to counteract the snappy white-box ammo recoil, and the darn thing is handsome besides. A minimalistic Art-Deco version of something. Yes! It's the replacment for The Great Valtro Disappointment. That was part of my justification for the acquisition. And felt OK about that. I frikkin' waited a year-and-a-half for something like this, dammit! I've seen the PPC9 listed thru online sellers from $1,350 USED to $1,850 NIB. Obviously, some of these figures were beginning prices and might have been subject to a little bit of negotiation... perhaps. But not all of them had all the extras I received. I was originally looking at one for $1,350 from a respected, valid seller in Indiana (someone who knows rhino, in fact) and regarded it as a reasonable buy, given the usage history of his gun and certain other things. However, I bought this one (pictured) locally from a good buddy who charged me only what HE paid for it two weeks ago... $1,100. No shipping fees, no FFL handling. I saved a bit and my seller got a wad of cash. This buddy then went and bought a 6" model of this gun from the Indiana buyer which was why he offered me his 5" model. Everybody won. Might be a while before I sell THIS one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 It's got a single action trigger, so no-go in Production. Very nice gun, though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted January 31, 2005 Author Share Posted January 31, 2005 Yes, definitely on that SA trigger. But it's great for what I do with guns around here... not to mention the satisfaction of reliably knowing where the bullets are headed once I squeeze the trigger.

DaG Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Is this a version of the gun John Flentz shoots? DaG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmshtr Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 No, John shoots a 5906 S&W Performance Center. It's basically that gun, minus the magwell, with a 4" barrel, in double action. Also, the decocker is spring loaded. They're really nice...so is Grrl's! That PPC9 is a tack driver! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9146gt Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 The pic I have of John's gun is a 5" gun looks like a LPA rear sight. PPC9's were first made in '97 ( I think) serial numbers in the PPC002x range left the factory in Feb '97. How do you post pics here? Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
