Papa Bear,
I feel your "pain." I just joind SASS (obvious by my badge #) and this is my first post - hope ican help out.
I decided on Schofields for my revolvers and found as you have the availability is spotty at best. I did manage to locate a Navy Arms 3.5" .45 Colt ($689.00 + tax) and have a pair of 5" "Wells Fargo" .45 Colt on order at a local dealer thru Uberti ($700.00 ea.+ tax). Dixie at Navy Arms wa extremely helpful. I only went Uberti due to time available.
Navy arms only sells thru distributors, but they DO list distributors on their web site.
I see you are in California - Navy lists Acusport as a distributor for the western region. (
www.acusport.com) (800-543-3150).
If they will speak with you - check stock and have your local dealer order thru them.
I hope this is some help in your quest.
B.A.T. Mann
