Papa Bear,

As far as I know Navy Arms is the only one selling that pistol, I just picked up one and I am very happy with it.  I have not seen them on line very much in that caliber.

All of my CAS guns are in 44-40 except two of my Remington pistols which are in .357.  I don't shoot .45 Colt so no problems.  I reload alot of different calibers and do not want to do another.  And I prefer the .44-40 over the .357.  Bigger boom and smoke in the larger case. ::)

Papa Bear,

I got mine off of the board I cannot remember if it was here or the Frontier Spot.  I beleive that it was $650 not counting shipping or FFL.  I have not seen too many of them for sale in that caliber, but I do know that they sell them through Navy Arms they are a bit pricy at $895 I think.

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.
