According to chet15 there were only 500 of these made for a distributor in 1995. I have been looking for a long time. A buddy that hasn't shot a gun in 20ish years bought this recently, and I was able to trade him a clean P678GC for it.
Unfortunately it has been someones truck gun for a long time, and both the stainless and plastic are dinged up. The internals are quite the opposite. I am 99% sure it had never been taken apart before (dead blow hammer was required both directions) and while it was dirty, I have seen far worse. I spent an hour and a half detail stripping and cleaning it.
This gun also completes my 22/45 collection. I now have every model pre-MkIII 22/45 Ruger built. I will pull them out of the safe and take a family pic soon.
