New Ruger Beatcat Special

Post by Pete44ru »

.

This Lispey's offering is the first time I've ever seen a high polished blued Ruger Bearcat with a 6" bbl & a fluted cylinder ILO the roll engraved cylinder.

Always liked those ! But I think they would be much nice with a brass grip frame. Saw one with adjustable rear sight , guess that's NOT a standard option?

Let us know how it shoots!

Beatcat? Is it a 60's commemorative edition? :P i like it, tried getting a 4" adjustable sight version on GB but they always went way to high at the end. Todd/3leg
30/30 Winchester: Not accurate enough fer varmints, barely adequate for small deer; BUT In a 10" to 14" barrelled pistol; is good for moose/elk to 200 yards; ground squirrels to 300 metres

The bearcat has a near universal grip.

Even goomers with mitts like a side of bacon might complain of it being too small but they can usually shoot it just fine.

That's beautiful.

I still regard the Bearcat as more of a 'pocket pistol' vs the 'Single Six' and this is more in the latter category, but nonetheless, it is a nice Bearcat.

Of course I like weird stuff, because I also like the North American Arms Mini Revolver they call the 'Earl'....

They sure look good.

Sadly, I have never met a Bearcat that I liked.

Those that are fans can keep 'em.

Funny thing....I've owned dozens of single action Rugers...and one Bearcat...was a NIB Super Bearcat.... did not even have the desire to shoot it.....down the road it went, still unfired..

Can't think of a use for one...reminds me of one of those useless NA guns you use as a belt buckle.....but that's me....don't knock anyone for liking them as they are quality American built.

The Linsey's gun sure in an improvement in the looks dept......I'm thinking 5 shot 32 Long?----6

That's a handsome 'Cat.
Doc, I had one of the NA Earls and it was woefully inaccurate, even after I sent it back for a new barrel.
Friend Earl from Oregon can attest. I wanted it to work.

With adjustable sights they might, maybe peak my interest IF I didn't already have a Single Six.
