Anybody have one? How do you like it? I want one so damn bad but the price is pretty high. Anybody know where to get one for less than $700? Pics would be greatly appreciated.

At the last gun show I went to (December crossroads in Phoenix) I must have seen almost 40 Schoefields. Not reproductions, originals. Wasn't one guy either. 4 different tables. Strangest thing, never seen that many anywhere before. I'd really like one of the Uberti replicas though. |
 and you didnt buy one! I would have taken that as god must want me to have one and bought it.

You bastard!  Post pics when you get that bad boy...I think my check might be around the price of one too...

I was seriously after one of these until I found out the cylinder gas ring was eliminated when they lengthened the cylinder for longer cartridges like the .45 Colt. You won't notice it's missing if you only shoot smokeless powder, but if you shoot blackpowder I've heard the cylinder can jam up before you've fired up all your shots. Elimination of a great feature to add calibers not originally available in that pistol just kills it for me. If you don't mind not being able to shoot BP through it then the Ubertis are fine, but also be aware they are not mechanically the same as the originals. They've beefed up a number of parts. Stay away from any used models from around 1996 that were made by Armi San Marco. They were junk and had a bad tendency to fly open as you shoot them. |
