Has anyone ever heard of this varient?

I'm looking for one in .45LC as a possible mounted shooting weapon.  They are not listed on the Uberti site.

Any input appreciated!

Yes, and they are listed on the Uberti sight. The one you speak of is the hide out model and it is nickel not stainless. On the ones I have seen, the side plate and grip fit was bad. The grips look to be a 1/16 to short at the top. Other then that, they looked good. Dealers in my area want $1000 + which I won't pay. Recent price increase but I do not think Uberti's web sight reflect them yet.

Thank you, Sir, for the reaponse!   

I did see the nickel varient but did not see a stainless; that's what confused me (but, then, I'm sometimes easily confused  ).

So the dealer is in error and it's not stainless?  That does not leave me with a lot of confidence in the dealer.

I owned a couple of Uberti Schofields in .44/40 before I swapped them for my S&W Performance Center 2000s.  I liked them.  I did have one issue.  On occasion the star ejector would not cleanly eject all six rounds.  I was advised at that time that this was an issue unique to the .44/40 case and did not with the .45LC version.

I've not yet made a final decision.  The mounted shooting game has some different "imperatives" from the ground game.  Since I'll likely stick with mounted for a while (at least until I'm too old to make that first, BIG step) I'm going to "customize" my equipment in that direction.

Thanks, again, for the input!

yep, it looked good to me at first glance when it was priced at 875.00, I did not like the bad fitting grips but I figured I would replace them anyways. I mind wrestled with it for two months and decided to get it but when I went back and it was raised to 975.00 and I seen the sideplate's sloppy fit, I knew I did not want it. For me it gets down to what else a thousand bucks would buy

I have 3 of the uberti hide outs in 45 colt.   I like them a lot.  The extractor can some times slip over the rim on a 45 Colt also.  It doesn't happen often.
