Back when PPC was in vogue, it was not uncommon for PD armorers to make PPC revolvers using a Model 14 frame (easier to deal with sights), a custom bull barrel, a one-piece rib (containing both front and rear sights), beveled cylinder chambers, and a trigger job. Since there was no such thing as "power factor," the standard round was a .38 Special loaded with 158-grain SWCs pushed by 2.7 grains of Bullseye.

I have a photo of a PPC revolver made by the late Jack Brosnahan, Bedford (MA) PD, but I can't figure out how to make the file small enough to meet this forum's 2.44 kB file size limit.
 
There was a great variety of guns. Some were Smythons A smith frame with a python barrel. We generally used 148 grain wadcutters. Personally being a young poor cop I used my duty gun, a 6" 686.
 
RKG,

Try just reducing the physical size and/or the resolution of your picture in any decent photo program.
You should have at least one or two that came with your operating system.
Like Paint for Windows.
Or you can download plenty of free ones from the web, with a search.
IrfanView is a good one.
 
See if you can contact Jimmy McCollough in Selma Alabama. he does work like you're interested in. Or used to at least. A fine fellow.
